Ketamine Wellness Centers

History

KWC was established in 2011. The Tucson clinic opened in 2017. Ketamine is a Schedule III anesthetic agent. It was first developed in 1962 and later FDA approved for clinical use in 1970 primarily for use during the Vietnam War. Ketamine has had a tainted history because, much like similar medications that can cause dissociative effects, Ketamine became a drug of abuse (Special K). However Ketamine continued to be a successful anesthetic being used in hospitals, dentist offices and medical practices with an excellent safety record. In the past 7 years Ketamine was identified as having beneficial effects on patients with depression, suicidal ideations and certain neuro-pathic pain syndromes. A large number of very reputable hospitals and organizations have studied Ketamine's effectiveness in these areas and have shown very promising results. The treatment is here and available now. There is hope. There is help.

Specialties

Ketamine Wellness Center's mission is to provide personalized, high-quality care for people suffering from afflictions where Ketamine infusions have proven a successful treatment option while actively researching Ketamine's efficacy to treat additional conditions. The clinical program at Ketamine Wellness Centers is one of few, if not the only clinic, which combines the diagnostic tools of mental health professionals with the precision of the anesthesia community. The combination of those two professions allows us to evaluate patients and determine how effective Ketamine treatment may be for you or your loved one. We recognize Ketamine treatments are only part of a patient's road to recovery and for a patient to truly be successful they will need to seek additional therapy and support in conjunction with improving their life skills through exercise, diet, and focus on wellness. Ketamine can restore your function so you are finally able to pursue all those avenues of healing.
