Conditions Treated

Treatment Resistant Depression

Ketamine therapy is gaining traction internationally for its remarkable efficacy and little side effects.

Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD)

Administered in small and safe doses, ketamine for PTSD alleviates symptoms immediately in most patients.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Infusions provide fast relief for patients of numerous ages who are burdened with anxiety disorders.

Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS)

When other medications have stopped working, many are turning to ketamine therapy to treat chronic pain.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Ketamine has been found to regenerate damaged nerve cells in the brain, so patients feel relieved.

Why Ketamine Infusions?

The ketamine infusion therapy offered by Freedom Ketamine Treatment Centers is an innovative option that provides rapid relief. Studies show that individuals who suffer from mood and pain disorders feel fast, long-acting results from infusions.

Does ketamine actually help with depression? Yes. In many cases, patients experience relief in hours compared to the traditional months or years that some medications and other treatments options can take.
