Treatment-resistant depression can leave people cycling through medications that help a little or not at all. Quality Psychiatric Health & Wellness provides ketamine therapy in Santa Clarita for individuals whose depression has not responded well enough to standard care.

Treatment is delivered as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which pairs ketamine troches that dissolve under the tongue with psychotherapy and ongoing psychiatric oversight. This combined approach supports both the medication and the therapeutic work that helps patients make use of it.

A Careful Evaluation Comes First

Ketamine is not right for everyone, and results vary from person to person. Every patient starts with a careful evaluation, so the decision about whether ketamine belongs in a treatment plan is made together with the care team.

Who Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Is Designed to Help

Treatment-Resistant Depression Is the Primary Focus

Depression is generally considered treatment-resistant when symptoms persist after at least two antidepressant trials at an adequate dose and duration. Research on ketamine is strongest for this group, so treatment-resistant depression is the main focus of ketamine therapy in Santa Clarita at the practice.

If you have tried several medications through depression treatment and still feel stuck, ketamine may be worth discussing.

Research into ketamine for anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and mood instability is ongoing, but the evidence is less established than it is for treatment-resistant depression. These uses are off-label and considered case by case.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions at the Valencia office, with professional monitoring throughout.

Ketamine Therapy Safety

Because ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance, ketamine therapy in Santa Clarita is provided only under medical supervision and after screening.

Screening Before Treatment

Ketamine may not be appropriate for people with:

Uncontrolled high blood pressure or significant heart disease
A history of psychosis, or mania that is not well controlled
A current or past substance use disorder
Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Blood Pressure Monitoring

Ketamine can temporarily raise blood pressure and heart rate, so blood pressure is checked before dosing and monitored during each session.

If You Are in Crisis

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, call 911, or call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

FAQs

How does ketamine therapy for depression work?

Ketamine influences neural pathways associated with mood and emotion regulation. In cases where traditional depression treatments have offered limited benefit, clinicians may consider ketamine therapy, depending on the patient’s medical history and treatment objectives.

Is ketamine therapy safe?

Like any other medication, ketamine can have risks and side effects. That’s why it’s only used under careful medical supervision and only when needed. That said, it can be a helpful addition to your mental health care plan.

Does ketamine therapy replace antidepressant medication?

Not necessarily. We only incorporate ketamine therapy into your treatment plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, and other interventions. But with ongoing reviews, we can determine your need for antidepressant medication over time.

What should I expect during and after a ketamine session?

Patients receiving ketamine therapy in Santa Clarita are prepared ahead of time for these effects:

Dissociation: You may feel detached from your surroundings or notice changes in perception. These effects are usually temporary.
Sedation: Drowsiness and dizziness are common, so the care team monitors you throughout.
Potential for misuse: Ketamine can be misused, so treatment includes screening and ongoing oversight of medication use.
Transportation: Plan for someone to drive you home, and avoid driving for the rest of the day.

Who may be a candidate for ketamine treatment for depression?

Usually people whose depression hasn’t improved after at least two antidepressants. An evaluation with the practice’s psychiatric providers determines suitability.

Is ketamine therapy available in Santa Clarita?

Yes. Quality Psychiatric Health & Wellness provides ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with sublingual troches at its Valencia office in the Santa Clarita Valley.
