Product Description
The Lehighton, PA campus of Ethos clinics offers ketamine infusion services to people with severe treatment-resistant depression. Ethos Lehighton offers this life-changing medication for those who have had little or no significant relief of symptoms through mainstream medications or therapies. Ketamine has a long history of use in emergency and pediatric surgeries as an anesthetic. It has been called by the World Health Organization “an essential medication.” The sub-anesthetic infusions at Ethos help to stimulate growth in the brain. This allows regions damaged by repeated trauma to heal. Symptoms such as low self-esteem or impaired sleep often improve within hours of initial treatment, though a full course of infusions is recommended to achieve a lasting relief. Ethos Lehighton is ready to help you regain control of your life.
After becoming disillusioned with the hospital system approach to patients, Ethos Lehighton founder Dr. Raja Abbas relocated to central Pennsylvania and began the practice that has become the Ethos clinics. Dr. Abbas brings “patient-centered values” to the clinic. These values inform the team’s mission to “help patients rediscover their true selves.” The Lehighton campus of Ethos boasts a wide array of professionals, from nurse practitioners to licensed social workers, all of whom are dedicated to the health and growth of their patients. The comfortable location and compassionate staff only enhance the benefits that ketamine infusion therapy offers.

Your Treatment: What to Expect
Dr. Abbas will meet with prospective patients to determine if ketamine infusions are an appropriate course of action. During each 40 minute infusion, patients often report “odd perceptions” – this could mean a feeling of dissociation from the body or seeing colors brighten. These side effects may well be important to the effectiveness of ketamine, and are considered normal. All effects subside within 30 minutes of the treatment’s end.
Who is this treatment for?
Based on laboratory studies, ketamine is effective in treating resistant depression for about 70% of patients. Infusions at Ethos Lehighton are for sufferers who have tried various other medications and therapies and have had little success in treating the symptoms of their conditions. Ketamine infusions are a fast-acting and lasting alternative, and a potentially life-changing path to healing.
