What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine Therapy in Salt Lake City

Ketamine is a psychedelic medication that has been used as an FDA-approved anesthetic for over 50 years. More recently, it has been found to have strong anti-depressant effects when used at very low doses. Ketamine has been studied to effectively treat depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders.

Always at the forefront of ways to better serve our patients, Lone Peak Psychiatry offers ketamine treatment in Salt Lake City to provide effective relief for a variety of challenging conditions.

We are particularly dedicated to supporting our military service members, veterans, and first responders who carry the weight of service-related trauma and treatment-resistant conditions. For veterans in Utah struggling with combat-related PTSD, severe depression, or acute suicidal ideation when traditional therapies and medications haven’t provided relief, ketamine infusion therapy offers a rapid-acting, evidence-based alternative that can provide relief for our veterans. Here at Lone Peak Psychiatry, we specialize in psychiatry for veterans in Salt Lake City, offering targeted interventions for a variety of mental health concerns.
