Notice how Mitchell uses terms like “alliance.” In addition to outlining therapeutic goals, it’s of vital importance for health-care professionals to establish a sense of trust and rapport with their patients before administration.

STAGE 2: THE TRIP ITSELF

The second stage of KAP is the administration of the ketamine itself under controlled medical supervision in a safe, friendly environment. This can take place in a number of different settings ranging from a physician’s private office to one of the many ketamine clinics sprouting up across the country. Stage 2 is conducted by two physicians, a psychotherapist and an anesthesiologist, because some complications and side effects such as increased blood pressure are possible.

The dose and form of ketamine administered can have profound impacts on the nature of treatment.

“For some people the form of ketamine matters a lot,” says Dr. Nazeer.

Dr. Nazeer points out that IM ketamine can feel more intense and dissociative. As such it has a sudden drop off, or wearing-off period. Intravenous (IV) ketamine, on the other hand, is “a little smoother,” with a more gradual comedown. Which experience is “best” comes down to a matter of personal preference.
