Nuvista Psychedelic Medicine: A Path to Healing and Transformation
At Nuvista Mental Health, we’re committed to delivering innovative and compassionate care for individuals exploring new ways to improve their mental well-being. Our Psychedelic Medicine program emphasizes evidence-based treatments, including ketamine therapy, to help clients achieve emotional healing, mental clarity, and personal growth, particularly when traditional approaches have not been effective.
What Is Ketamine Treatment?
Ketamine is considered a dissociative anesthetic with psychedelic properties that has unique effects on the body and mind. Ketamine is a medication with a high safety profile that has been used legally since the 1970s as an anesthetic. Many people generally describe their experience with ketamine as pleasant and positive. A series of studies in the early 2000’s showed ketamine’s effectiveness as an antidepressant, and it is now used “off-label” to treat mental health conditions.
While using ketamine for depression and other mental health concerns may be “off-label”, it is completely legal under medical supervision. In 2019 the FDA approved a ketamine nasal spray called Spravato for use with clients who have treatment resistant depression, furthering the acceptance of ketamine in treating mental health conditions.
