Ketamine Therapy & IV Infusions in Jacksonville, FL
When other treatments have not brought the relief you need
If other treatments haven’t helped enough, a consultation can help you understand whether IV ketamine is an option for you. At our San Marco clinic, care begins with a review of your history, symptoms and goals.
Who treatment may help
Could ketamine be an option for you?
IV ketamine is used off-label for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and certain chronic pain conditions. Explore the condition that brings you here; a consultation determines whether treatment is appropriate for your history and needs.
Treatment-resistant depression →
When two or more antidepressants have not brought enough relief — the most common reason people seek IV ketamine in Jacksonville.
Anxiety disorders →
Persistent anxiety, panic, and nervous-system activation that has not responded fully to standard care.
PTSD & trauma →
Trauma-informed infusion care for hypervigilance, flashbacks, and treatment-resistant PTSD symptoms — including veterans.
Chronic pain →
CRPS, neuropathy, migraines, and centralized pain with longer, pain-focused infusion protocols.
Candidacy
Who is a good candidate for ketamine therapy?
Ketamine infusion therapy is not first-line for everyone. A board-certified psychiatric provider confirms fit after reviewing your history — including medications tried, medical risks, and goals.
This may be a fit if you…
- You have tried two or more antidepressants or therapies without adequate relief
- Depression, anxiety, or PTSD still interferes with work, relationships, or daily life
- You can arrange a ride home after each infusion and commit to a short induction series
It may not be right if you…
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or certain heart conditions (screened at consult)
- Active psychosis or some unstable psychiatric presentations
- Pregnancy, or a substance-use history that needs a different level of care first
- Emergency or crisis needs — call 911 or 988; this is not an ER service
What to expect
Your care, step by step
Most patients with depression, anxiety, or PTSD begin with an induction series of six IV infusions over about four weeks. Your response is reviewed throughout the series. If treatment helps, occasional booster infusions may be considered as part of your ongoing plan. Chronic-pain protocols use longer sessions and are quoted separately.
Every visit at The Practice is monitored by a board-certified psychiatric provider or psychiatrist in a private room — continuous vitals, not a group lounge.

Common questions
Ketamine infusion therapy FAQs — Jacksonville patients
What conditions can ketamine therapy help with?
Ketamine infusion therapy at The Practice may help with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and certain chronic pain conditions. Suitability is determined in a comprehensive consultation with the board-certified psychiatric provider who will oversee your infusions in Jacksonville’s San Marco.
Does insurance cover ketamine infusions?
IV ketamine is used off-label for mood conditions, while Spravato (esketamine nasal spray) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. If an on-label nasal-spray option is a better fit for your situation, we will say so.
How many ketamine treatments for depression will I need?
Most patients begin with an induction series of six monitored IV infusions over about four weeks. Many notice change within the first few sessions. Responders often continue with occasional single booster infusions. Your exact plan is personalized at consultation.
Who is a good candidate for ketamine therapy?
Adults with depression, anxiety, or PTSD that has not responded adequately to standard treatments — and who can complete a medical evaluation and arrange a ride home after each infusion. Uncontrolled blood pressure, certain heart conditions, active psychosis, pregnancy, and some substance-use histories may exclude candidacy until cleared.
What does a ketamine infusion session feel like?
Most patients describe a relaxed, dream-like state. You remain conscious in a private, monitored room. Mild temporary dissociation can occur and typically fades within about an hour. Read our what-to-expect guide for an hour-by-hour walkthrough.
Is ketamine therapy safe?
In a monitored clinical setting with trained providers, ketamine has a strong safety profile built on decades of medical use. At The Practice every infusion is run by a board-certified psychiatric provider or psychiatrist with continuous blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen monitoring.
