Ketamine Therapy Advantages 

Ketamine infusions are a proven method to help you get back to being YOU and feeling better sooner.

Safety

All Ketamine infusions are administered under the direct supervision of an experienced physician with expertise in providing Ketamine treatments at varying doses, including those used for anesthesia during medical procedures.

Quick Results

Ketamine has shown potential as a rapid-acting treatment for mental health and other mentioned disorders compared to traditional medications. Some patients may experience improvement within 24 hours of treatment, and after multiple sessions, many patients observe lasting benefits. 

Efficacy

On average, 2 out of 3 people will benefit from Ketamine infusions. The success rate is reported as high as 70-80%, reflecting a much higher percentage than treatment with conventional medicine alone. 

About Ketamine Treatments in Brownsville, TX

Prioritize Your Physical & Mental Health

Ketamine is a medication that has been used historically as an anesthetic. However, in recent years, it has gained attention for its off-label use in low doses as a potential treatment option for various conditions, including depression, anxiety, and chronic pain syndromes. 

Research indicates that ketamine may promote the regrowth of synapses in the brain, which could potentially help modify the neural pathways associated with these conditions. Some studies have reported success rates of around 75% with ketamine treatments.

Ketamine Infusion Process

In your initial consultation, we review your medical and mental health history, discuss what you hope to achieve through the treatment, and explain the procedure's benefits and risks. During this time, we answer any questions you may have to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable.

During a treatment session, you will be seated in our cozy lounge chairs. Before the IV begins, patients talk to Dr. Escamilla about their goals for the session. We provide headphones and blankets so you can listen to music and relax as you receive treatment. The infusion takes around 45 minutes to complete. The session ends with recovery time and debriefing with Dr. Escamilla - talking about your experience and making plans to attend therapy in the days following.

Our Process at Ilumina 

Here's what to expect as a ketamine therapy patient.

Intake Consultation

All new patients begin with an intake consultation. In this complimentary session, Dr. Escamilla reviews the patient's medical and mental health history, talks with the patient about their goals for treatment, and determines whether or not ketamine therapy is an appropriate course of action.

IV Treatments

Research has shown that an initial course of 6 IV treatments is most effective for mood disorders, completed in a timeframe of 2-6 weeks, depending on the patient's schedule. Each session begins with setting intentions for the treatment, followed by the IV ketamine infusion, and talk therapy with Dr. Escamilla after the infusion to help process thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Ongoing Care

Many patients will see marked improvement of symptoms during and after the initial 6 treatments. Separate from the treatments, we require all of our patients to actively attend counseling between ketamine sessions in order for the medication to be as effective as possible. Patients may come back for a "booster" IV treatment once every 3 to 6 months to maintain lasting benefits.

The Importance of Talk Therapy

 

Dr. Escamilla provides talk therapy before and after the ketamine treatment session. In order to maximize the potential for a lasting, positive change in your mental health, we require all our patients to actively engage in therapy between sessions outside of our clinic. If you have yet to find a counselor, we will provide you with several recommendations for both local and telehealth providers.
