About
The Ketamine Wellness Clinic of Orange County is a state-of-the-art treatment center located on the Mission Hospital Laguna Beach campus. This state-of-the-art clinic is a leader in ketamine infusion therapy and is actively involved in research and complementary treatment protocols. Supported by a breadth of studies and clinical trials, intravenous (IV) ketamine has proven to be a valuable treatment option for many chronic diseases, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia, and certain pain disorders.
Historically, ketamine has been used to induce and maintain anesthesia, including procedural sedation in both children and adults. More recently, a compelling amount of evidence suggests that in sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine infusions can restore the damaged brain pathways known to cause mood disorders.
Some patients achieve long-term relief after a single series of infusions, while others find that the infusions enhance their oral medications and complementary therapies. When administered in a monitored and controlled environment, studies show that ketamine does not exhibit addictive potential and may be administered on a consistent basis to sustain mental health.
Suicidal thoughts tend to subside within four to 24 hours, with 70% of major depressive disorder patients responding positively to the treatment. Our team of specialized physicians and mental health clinicians are paired with a health system dedicated to improving the mental and physical health of the community. If you feel you have exhausted all current treatment options, especially depression therapy, ketamine infusion therapy may be the next step for you.
