Product Description
With a state-of-the-art facility that is “more ‘home’ than ‘hi-tech,'” Albany Ketamine Infusions in upstate New York offers a safe and comfortable location to explore ketamine therapy. The clinic provides treatments to those suffering from resistant forms of depression, anxiety, bipolar depression, OCD, PTSD, as well as chronic and neuropathic pain. Moving forward with an understanding not only of the difficulties associated with these conditions but also of the frustration experienced when treatments do not work, Albany Ketamine Infusion offers hope and healing to those suffering from this frustration. Patients at the clinic can see “dramatic improvements in mood and quality of life, often within hours.”
Board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Phillip Hansen leads the clinic at Albany Ketamine Infusions. The clinic staff combines the cutting-edge treatment of ketamine infusions with a compassionate consideration for each and every individual patient.
Ketamine has been an essential anesthetic for almost 50 years, and a novel treatment for depression for over 20. The team at Albany Ketamine Infusions offers a safe and hopeful solution, with treatments taking place in a private and comfortable setting. Those who have seen little effectiveness from conventional medications can find a promising alternative in ketamine therapy.

Your Treatment: What to expect
After a thorough exam with Dr. Hansen or one of the clinic’s affiliated doctors, patients at Albany Ketamine Infusions undergo a series of 6 treatments over the course of 12 days. Some patients report an intensifying of lights, or a dissociated feeling—a floating sensation, for example—and others, a more mentally reflective state. These are all normal and desirable side effects, and all cease soon after the infusion process is complete.

Who is this treatment for?
While most mild and moderate depression conditions respond well to conventional treatments, more severe and treatment-resistant conditions require a higher level of care. Ketamine infusions are for individuals who have seen little to no improvement in their quality of life as a result of mainstream therapies. Some patients report a significant decrease in negative thoughts and suicidal ideations after only a single treatment, making ketamine not only a life-changing medicine but also a life-saving one in some circumstances.
