What is ketamine therapy?
Ketamine is a medication used in anesthesia that, in carefully controlled clinical settings, is also used for certain treatment-resistant mental health and chronic pain conditions. It has gained recognition for conditions that have not improved with conventional treatments.
Ketamine therapy is a serious medical treatment with significant effects and risks. It is not an everyday wellness treatment. At Zest Regen Health, ketamine is considered only for patients who meet clinical criteria and are assessed as safe candidates through a full medical and psychiatric evaluation.
Because of the nature of ketamine, treatment at Zest is highly structured: eligibility review, medical monitoring during sessions, and careful follow-up are non-negotiable parts of the program.
Why patients consider ketamine therapy
- Treatment-resistant depression that has not responded to standard treatments
- Chronic pain conditions under specialist care
- Conditions where other treatments have been inadequate
- A referral-based or physician-recommended conversation about ketamine
What is commonly evaluated
- Treatment-resistant depression (candidate-specific)
- Chronic pain under medical evaluation
- Mood and pain conditions that have not responded to conventional care
Who may be a candidate
- Adults who meet clinical criteria for ketamine and complete a full evaluation
- Patients without cardiovascular, psychiatric, or other contraindications
- Patients who can be safely monitored during and after sessions
- Patients under the ongoing care of the clinic's physician
