FAQs About Pala Medicine Ketamine Therapy
- What makes Pala Medicine different from other ketamine providers?
- A physician with 15+ years of ketamine experience leads every session, each journey is supported by a physician and an integration coach, and the experience is carefully curated around set and setting.
- How is Pala Medicine different from at-home ketamine programs?
- Treatment uses in-person IV or IM administration with better bioavailability and customized dosing than fixed, lower-bioavailability at-home sublingual programs, plus in-person facilitation and post-session integration time.
- Is ketamine a 'once-and-done' treatment?
- Rarely; most clients need 4-6 treatments to see substantial results, and benefits may be lasting or may require periodic booster sessions.
- Do I need to work with a therapist during ketamine treatment?
- Not always required; sessions include a certified integration coach, and the clinic can also coordinate with a client's existing therapist or refer to a network of psychedelically-trained therapists for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
- Who administers the ketamine?
- Dr. Rahman, a physician with 15+ years of ketamine experience, administers all IV and IM doses and oversees patient-administered sublingual doses, with an integration coach present throughout.
- Is ketamine safe and legal?
- Ketamine is a Schedule III medication with a long safety record as an anesthetic; off-label physician use for mental health and pain conditions is legal and common.
