You Can Trust Us Because We Understand You & Your Challenges

4 to 6 ketamine infusion sessions, spread over 2 to 3 weeks

A schedule for optional booster sessions, if required

Guidance on integration support through therapy or coaching
What Happens During an Infusion Session
When you arrive for your treatment, our goal is to ensure you feel calm, comfortable, and fully supported.
- You’ll be welcomed into a quiet, private treatment room
- We’ll check your vital signs and answer any last-minute questions
- You’ll be seated or reclined in a comfortable chair or bed

- Ketamine is given through a small IV in your arm over 40 to 60 minutes
- You may feel calm, dream-like, or emotionally open—these effects are normal
- Our medical staff monitors you closely throughout your session

Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
Ketamine therapy is most effective when paired with ongoing care. At Arka Clinic, we provide:
- Follow-up check-ins to monitor your progress
- Optional booster sessions if needed to maintain results
- Referrals to therapists, coaches, or integration specialists for additional support
Your long-term healing is just as important to us as your immediate relief.


After the Session:What You May Feel
The effects of ketamine therapy vary, but many patients report:
- A noticeable lift in mood or mental clarity within a few hours or days
- A reduction in emotional distress, anxiety, or pain
- Feeling emotionally calm, thoughtful, or introspective
These changes are often subtle at first, but they build with each session. We encourage journaling or talking with a therapist to help integrate the experience.
