Like most things in life, there is linear relationship between the money spent and quality received. At Klarisana, we offer very personalized service and treatment in a private and fully monitored setting. In our experience, we believe that the setting and the experience are critical to success. After you contact us, you have a non-pressured discussion with our Patient Care Coordinator. If you are seeing us for a mental health condition, you will then have an intake session with one of our Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC) or Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW). You then have an intake session either by phone or in clinic with one of our Advanced Practice Providers (NP or PA). Once you start your infusion therapy, you will receive your infusions in a private room with one of our Medics in attendance at all times. As one of our patients, we will develop a customized dosing protocol that works for you. If you are seeing us for chronic pain we will also create a custom regimen of adjunctive medications to target other receptors related to the pain pathway (e.g lidocaine, magnesium, etc.). It is not hard to find a center that is cheaper. Keep in mind however that the way in which many centers cut costs is to do two things. First, to put you in a communal room with several other patients where you all get infused together. Receiving an infusion sitting right next to several complete strangers is not only ineffective, we feel it is counterproductive to success with ketamine. Secondly, clinics that offer “discount ketamine” tend to follow a “one size fits all” model of ketamine therapy. Many of these are what we call “Oil Change Clinics” where they follow the (unvalidated) “NIH Protocol” of 0.5 mg of ketamine per kilogram of body weight and administer this over forty minutes. As described elsewhere on this website and FAQ, we feel that this only addresses the biochemical aspect of ketamine therapy but not the experiential. There is no effort on the part of “discount” clinics to maximize the experiential aspect of ketamine therapy.
