Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a medication that has been used for over 50 years in anesthesia and pain management. More recently, it has been found to have rapid-acting effects on severe depression and anxiety when administered in lower doses. Ketamine is administered intravenously under the direct supervision of a doctor.
-
How does Ketamine work?
Ketamine operates differently from traditional mood disorder treatments. Rather than primarily affecting the serotonin or norepinephrine pathways in the brain, ketamine interacts with the glutamate system, a key player in mood regulation.
This interaction with the glutamate system promotes the formation of new neural connections in the brain, potentially contributing to its therapeutic effects.
-
What is the cost of Ketamine?
For mood disorder treatments, a single ketamine infusion starts at $350. Costs for chronic pain treatments may differ as they are tailored to the specific condition.
Please contact our clinic directly for more specific pricing details and financing options. We aim to make treatments as affordable and accessible as possible for all our patients.
-
Can I use an HSA or FSA to cover the cost?
Yes, you may be able to use funds from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to cover the cost of ketamine treatments. However, the eligibility depends on the specific guidelines of your HSA or FSA plan and often requires that the treatment be deemed a medical necessity.
A letter of medical necessity from your healthcare provider may be needed. We recommend checking with your plan administrator to understand your coverage better. Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance with this process.
-
How many treatments are needed?
Ketamine treatment protocols vary based on the specific condition and the provider's recommendation. Generally, for conditions like depression and anxiety, a series of six infusions over a two to three-week period is often recommended.
Each infusion typically lasts about 40 to 60 minutes with another 30-40 minutes for pre-infusion preparation and post-infusion recovery. After the initial series, maintenance or "booster" infusions may be scheduled as needed, typically every few months, depending on the individual's response.
-
What are the side effects?
Ketamine Infusion Therapy may cause some side effects, but they are usually mild and short-lived. Common side effects include temporary feelings of dissociation, tiredness, dizziness, and nausea. These symptoms typically go away within a few hours after the treatment.

Ive been through initial ketamine assisted therapy that is intensive over a two week span and then pursued follow up sessions once every month or two as it has helped me in managing self-care needs to include working with depression. I had been looking for a KAT provider in the area and I can say that I have found that provider with Ilumina. The time that Dr. Escamilla and his wonderful office staff took with me to make sure I was comfortable and in a position to have the best possible experience with my treatment stood out to me the most. In the conversation with him and the staff I could tell that this is a passion to truly help others for Ilumina. The highest praise I could give is this, as a licensed mental health provider in the state of Texas I will not hesitate to recommend clients I work with to Iluminas services to help provide dynamic and effective therapeutic intervention that aids people in making the most progress with mental health needs. The last thing I will mention is that I will continue to utilize Iluminas services myself as well and feel completely comfortable and confident in maintaining both a client and colleague based relationship with Ilumina. Thank you again Dr. Escamilla and Kim!
