Your Clients Psychedelic Journey with Choose Ketamine

Choose Ketamine provides at-home oral ketamine therapy to combat depression, anxiety, PTSD and more.
Step 1. Take the online evaluation
Your clients will take our online assessment to determine if this
type of therapy is a right fit for them. Our medical ream have developed
rigorous pre-screening questionnaires that are necessary for patient safety
since ketamine assisted therapy is not suitable for everyone.

Therapists have visibility to the evaluation outcome.
Step 2. Schedule medical consultation
After the online evaluation your client will schedule to meet our certified
clinician on a hippa compliant zoom call. A further evaluation will take place
to understand, again, if this form of therapy is suitable for the client.
Should our medical team determine that the client is a good candidate
for Ketamine therapy the medical team will e-prescribe the patient
and the medicine will arrive to their home in 4-5 business days.

Therapists have visibility to the when the patients medical consultation is happening,
the clinicians notes, evaluation outcome and e-prescription tracking
Step 3. The ketamine experience
Therapists and clients will coordinate a time to schedule the at-home
ketamine session. Therapists and their patient can decide if the therapist should
"sit" with the patient on zoom or therapists can designate a Choose Life guide to
assist with the session.

The guide will provide the therapist with the notes from the session.
Step 4. Integrate, therapy continuation & repeat
Therapists continue the journey with their client post experience
with their own protocols. Continuation of ketamine experiences may be
recommended in which case the client can re-enter the Choose Life program.

The Clients First Ketamine Experience

Assuming the client is a good candidate for ketamine assisted therapy they will have received their e-prescription in the mail along with the Choose Life welcome pack which includes: 
Welcome letter & experience instructions, eye mask, blood pressure cuff, journal and pen.

Preparation
The therapist and medical team will help the client prepare for the first experience. They will be both mentally and physically prepared. The client should understand what to do (or not do) on the day of their experience.
Client's experience
Their first experience will be monitored in a safe and comfortable fashion to allow them to drift into a 1 hour introspective journey. The oral ketamine will dissolve under your tongue (then spit out) and the onset of the medicine will occur around 10 minutes later.

The medicine allows the client to disconnect from ordinary reality. It may provide insights, inspiration and an openness to new ideas while also enhancing feelings of purpose and creativity. Some clients may also have sensory effects - visual & auditory.
Integration
Integration is a critical part of the journey. After the experience, the client will reflect on their session and refresh their mind. Journaling immediately in their notebook, will allow them to solidify and grow on their experience.

Continuing The Journey With Your Client

After your clients experience with ketamine you can continue with your protocol whether that includes ketamine or not. Having better insights into the patients experience allows for more successful patient outcomes.

Personalised prescription plans
Protocols will not look for the same for everyone. Therapists can work with our clinicians to develop personalized prescription plans catered to the clients needs.
Integration protocols
Therapists can work with our staff to ensure that the necessary integration begins and continues.

Along the journey we will be a resource to you. So much is unknown about psychedelics and the clinical protocols can be difficult to interpret. We're here to provide clarity and education through our medical services.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is Choose Ketamine?
Choose Ketamine is a team of mental health specialists based out of Austin, Texas that provides virtual consultations and therapy sessions. When other treatments have failed to work, we give people in need access to ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Choose Ketamine's mission is to empower people to regain their happiness through ketamine assisted therapy that is delivered in an equitable way.
What medicine do you offer?
Choose Ketamine's clinicians may prescribe ketamine assisted therapy for indications of depression or anxiety. Ketamine is a prescription medication that doctors can prescribe off-label to treat depression, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, OCD, and other mental health-related conditions.

Ketamine is an FDA approved drug used in the hospital daily. Over the last 50 years, doctors have discovered multiple uses for ketamine in mental health conditions. In fact, the evidence is so strong the American Psychiatric Association put out a statement saying that the antidepressant effects of ketamine are both rapid and robust.
How does at-home ketamine therapy work?
At-home ketamine therapy begins with an online assessment and video consultation with a psychiatric nurse practitioner. If our medical team determines you’re a fit for this kind of therapy you'll be prescribed oral ketamine and schedule your first virtual appointment. During the initial appointment you'll prepare with your therapy guide and undergo your first ketamine treatment. 

Based on your response, the medical team will provide a personalized plan for your follow up sessions. Throughout your treatment, you'll use Choose Ketamine's online platform to help prepare for your sessions, explore your inner mind and integrate your experiences into your daily life.
What happens during a ketamine therapy session?
Ketamine has a dissociative effect. This means that it creates a separation of mind and body, also commonly referred to as an out of body experience.  While ketamine is not a true psychedelic, it does have psychedelic properties and creates an altered state of consciousness, allowing the mind to be outside of its normal waking status. In this state, the mind can access subconscious information.

Ketamine is a powerful disruptor of limiting beliefs around ourselves and our world, allowing one to see themselves truly without all the labels and limitations. It often creates a euphoric feeling for people and many people report having a sense of oneness and connectedness to others and to something bigger than themselves. Ketamine can also allow people to revisit times or memories of trauma and reconsolidate the memories around those events in a less painful, fearful or traumatic way.
Who is a good candidate for ketamine therapy?
Choose Ketamine was created for anyone seeking to take control over their anxiety or depression. Whether you're looking to enhance your current treatments or other treatments haven’t provided relief, Choose Ketamine can help develop a treatment plan specifically for you.

Although many people are good candidates, ketamine assisted therapy isn't for everyone. Choose Ketamine always puts the patient's health first and treatment decisions are made at our clinician’s discretion.
Are Choose Ketamine's clinicians licensed?
Yes, Choose Ketamine's clinicians are licensed by the relevant governing professional board or organization in the states where they practice.

Is at-home ketamine therapy covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, generic ketamine isn't typically covered by insurance. While ketamine is being used successfully to treat mental health conditions for more than 20 years this wasn't its original use case. Ketamine was originally approved by the FDA in 1970 as an anesthetic. For mental health conditions, it's being prescribed "off label" which is why insurance companies don't typically provide coverage. Some insurance companies may provide some reimbursements for the treatments - we recommend speaking with your insurance provider first.

Choose Ketamine is the most affordable at-home ketamine provider with multiple payment plan options. We do what we can to meet our clients in their current financial circumstances.
What Is ketamine and is it safe?
Ketamine is a legal medication, originally used for anesthesia. It was developed in the 1960s and was commonly used in the Vietnam war because it could be used in the field safely and effectively.  Ketamine does not suppress the respiratory drive or paralyze muscles the way other anesthetics do, and its dissociative properties provide for rapid pain relief.  

Ketamine has been used in mental health for more than 20 years, and as a result we know the medicine itself is extremely safe for most individuals. Ketamine is FDA approved for anesthesia and treating depression. It’s also used as an off-label medication for pain and a variety of mental health conditions.  

Recently, the FDA approved a specific form of intranasal ketamine to be used for the indication of treatment resistant depression (TRD). TRD does not have an agreed upon definition but typically refers to people who have had an inadequate response from at least two antidepressant medications. Using this definition, TRD is relatively common given that 50% or more of patients do not achieve an adequate response following antidepressant therapy. 
Can I continue taking antidepressants while undergoing ketamine therapy?
Yes. Ketamine can be used safely with many antidepressant medications. Always discuss medication plans with your primary physician to determine if any adverse effects may be possible. You can also discuss your options with the clinical team at Choose Ketamine.
