LEARN MORE ABOUT KETAMINE INFUSION THERAPY

Over the last decade, Yale University and the National Institutes of Health identified additional benefits of Ketamine in treatment of mood disorders and chronic pain.

Ketamine infusion therapy represents a paradigm shift in mental health and pain management. Unlike conventional treatments that take weeks to show minimal effects, ketamine acts rapidly, often providing relief within hours.

At Gilbert Chandler Ketamine Therapy Clinic and Scottsdale Ketamine Therapy Clinic, we offer medically supervised ketamine therapy, ensuring safety, precision, and efficacy. Unlike many clinics that merely administer ketamine without a comprehensive approach, we go beyond by integrating precision dosing, advanced monitoring, and post-treatment support.

Ketamine works by blocking the NMDA receptor, a glutamate receptor in the brain that is often overactive in conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. By modulating glutamate, ketamine induces neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to rewire itself and break free from negative thought loops and maladaptive patterns.

Our clinic stands apart by providing:

Board-certified anesthesiologists and medical professionals overseeing treatment
Continuous patient monitoring for maximum safety and effectiveness
A holistic, results-driven approach that includes integration coaching
A controlled, private environment optimized for therapeutic transformation

Ketamine is not just about temporary symptom relief—it is about rewiring the brain for long-term healing.

LEARN MORE ABOUT INTEGRATION COACHING

One of the biggest mistakes many ketamine clinics make is assuming that the infusion alone is enough. While ketamine can provide immediate relief, its true power lies in the window of neuroplasticity it creates—the brain’s ability to form new pathways and rewire itself.

This window of opportunity lasts for weeks to months, but without intentional action, old habits and thought patterns can return. This is where integration coaching plays a crucial role.

Integration coaching empowers patients to take active control of their healing journey, ensuring that ketamine’s effects lead to lasting transformation rather than fleeting relief.

Our patients who take full advantage of ketamine plus integration coaching:
Report higher satisfaction with treatment
Achieve better initial outcomes
Require fewer booster infusions
See twice the initial benefit from ketamine (as measured by time to first booster following treatment)
Save money overall on treatment

Ketamine, a well-established dissociative anesthetic, received FDA approval in 1970 and has since played a vital role in medical care. It has been widely utilized in surgical procedures, emergency rooms, ambulances, trauma care, and even battlefield medicine due to its rapid-acting properties and high safety profile. Beyond human medicine, it is also a standard anesthetic in veterinary care. Recognizing its profound therapeutic potential, the World Health Organization has designated Ketamine as one of the most essential medications globally.

In recent years, groundbreaking research from Yale University and the National Institutes of Health has unveiled Ketamine’s extraordinary efficacy in treating mood disorders and chronic pain. Its ability to provide rapid relief for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions has led experts to call it “the most significant breakthrough in mental health treatment in decades.”

A Picture of a Neuron

Ketamine does not just mask symptoms; it transforms brain function. The power of ketamine therapy lies in its ability to enhance neuroplasticity, the process by which the brain forms new connections and rewires itself.

Under a microscope, neurons treated with ketamine exhibit re-arborization—the regrowth of dendritic branches that have been pruned due to stress, trauma, and chronic depression. This physical restoration of neural connections leads to:

Greater emotional resilience
Increased cognitive flexibility
The ability to break free from depressive loops

Imagine a path in a forest that has been worn down by repeated use—ketamine allows new paths to be formed, giving patients the ability to choose new ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges.

A CT Scan of a Human Brain

Brain imaging studies have shown that depressed brains look physically different from healthy ones. Over time, chronic stress and depression reduce neural connectivity, leading to shrinkage in key areas such as the prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation) and the hippocampus (which plays a critical role in memory and mood).

Ketamine has been shown to reverse these changes, increasing neural connectivity and restoring normal brain function.

On functional MRI scans, ketamine-treated brains display higher global connectivity, meaning different regions of the brain are able to communicate more effectively. This is why ketamine is so effective for breaking rigid thought patterns—it literally helps the brain reorganize itself.

Joshua's Story

“…With the first treatment, my son was pulled out of his deep depression. By his third treatment, he realized he truly had a purpose in life and that things could change for the better! We are on his fifth treatment as I’m writing this and I am very happy to report that my sweet son is back! He engages in conversations at home, has a lightness to his steps, smiles, tells funny jokes and most importantly is making plans for his future!” Read More
