Our ketamine therapy services in Las Vegas are tailored to support your mental health journey, helping you regain a sense of well-being and improve your quality of life. Discover how ketamine therapy can be a transformative option for overcoming mental health challenges.

What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a well-established medication originally used as an anesthetic, but recent studies have revealed its profound effects on mental health. Ketamine works by targeting the brain's NMDA receptors, promoting the growth of new neural connections, and helping to rewire the brain to overcome negative thought patterns associated with conditions like depression and anxiety.


Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine therapy can provide rapid relief for many individuals, making it a breakthrough treatment for those with treatment-resistant mental health disorders. At Wellness & Hormones Avenue in Las Vegas, we offer personalized ketamine therapy to help you regain a sense of well-being and improve your quality of life.

How Is Ketamine Used for Mental Health?

In mental health therapy, ketamine is administered in low, controlled doses that produce therapeutic effects without inducing anesthesia. Ketamine works by altering the way the brain processes thoughts and emotions, helping patients gain a new perspective and experience relief from symptoms that may have been resistant to other treatments.


At Wellness & Hormones Avenue in Las Vegas, we offer ketamine therapy in troche form—a sublingual tablet that dissolves under your tongue, making it easy to self-administer at home. This method is ideal for patients who prefer the flexibility and convenience of at-home ketamine treatment while still receiving the full therapeutic benefits. Discover how ketamine therapy can provide you with a transformative approach to managing mental health conditions in Las Vegas.
