Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, or KAP, is a cutting-edge treatment at Spruce Mental Health, combining low-dose ketamine—an established anesthetic—with psychotherapy. This innovative approach aims to help patients access and process difficult emotions, foster therapeutic breakthroughs, and alleviate symptoms of depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.

KAP integrates the use of ketamine in a controlled and monitored setting with psychotherapy to help deepen the therapeutic process and accelerate healing.

At low doses, ketamine creates a “psycholytic” mildly dissociative state, which may enhance the psychotherapeutic process by aiding patients in accessing and confronting difficult emotions. Higher doses can induce “psychedelic” experiences, including visions, distortions of space and time, ego dissolution, death experiences, and spiritual experiences.

Administered by trained professionals in a controlled environment, KAP is considered very safe. However, as with any treatment, there are potential side effects. At Spruce, psychiatry and emergency room physicians ensure safety, with all patients screened psychiatrically and medically prior to KAP work.

KAP is not FDA-approved and is used off-label in mental health setting. Spruce does not administer inhaled nasal esketamine (Spravato), which is FDA-approved for major depression. Research indicates potential benefits of KAP for patients with treatment-resistant depression, depression in bipolar 2 disorder, PTSD, and trauma-based concerns. Eligibility is determined via our thorough mental health and medical assessment.

The number of sessions varies. Some patients experience relief after a single session, while others may benefit from a series of sessions. Research for depression treatment suggests four to six sessions with regular boosters. Ketamine is known for providing rapid mood imporvement for some patients.

Patients will be in a comfortable, relaxed setting. After ketamine administration, a therapist guides through the session, lasting a couple of hours.

Possible side effects include nausea, dizziness, or heightened emotions during or after the session. Patient are encouraged to take zofran, and anti-emetic medication prior to initial and oral medication sessions.

No. It's essential to arrange for transportation after your session, as driving under the influence of ketamine is unsafe. Preferably patients are picked up by a trusted friend or relative.

KAP integrates the use of ketamine to potentially deepen therapeutic insights and breakthroughs, compared to traditional talk therapy.
