KETAMINE THERAPY INTEGRATION SESSIONS | LIFE-GIVING HEALING​

Ketamine integration sessions are a powerful tool to use in order to maximize the effectiveness of your treatments. The 12-24 hours after ketamine therapy treatments are when the mind is most adaptable to change and new ideas. During this time, an integration session with a coach can help you actualize positive insights and break down prominent challenges. Not only can you form life-changing habits, you can also discover life-giving healing.

Ketamine Therapy at Therapeutic Alternatives in West Jordan and Pleasant Grove, Utah is the leading provider of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and integration. Our expert providers Candace Curzon, LCSW, and Austin Francom, APRN, FNP, have years of experience and expertise with ketamine. Our integration specialist, Ali Aspen, is a certified trauma-informed coach with over 15 years of experience. Call us at 385-685-1410 today to learn more about ketamine integration.

Benefits of Ketamine Integration

  • Apply insights and ideas from ketamine therapy treatments

  • Assess negative behaviors, thoughts, and habits in order to make new changes

  • Help your mind become more adaptable

  • Begin to form new patterns

  • Improve overall mental wellness

How Ketamine Treatment Works

Before learning about ketamine integration, it is important to learn how ketamine treatments work. Ketamine is a synthetic drug that improves mental wellness. Ketamine works by increasing the production of glutamate in the brain. Glutamate is an important brain chemical responsible for helping neurons communicate with each other. With ketamine, your mind can literally rewire itself by creating new neural pathways and then release trauma. 

Treatment Sessions

Ketamine is professionally administered via infusion or injection. Patients are closely monitored during this time. Many patients undergo a euphoric, profound, dissociative experience with ketamine. Side effects include: nausea, vomiting, an altered state of mind, blurred vision, and an increased heart rate. Ketamine does not affect the respiratory system- your ability to speak and breathe will not be affected. Most ketamine clinic providers will prescribe a series of 6 – 10 ketamine sessions for full treatment. 

Therapeutic Alternatives in SLC, UT offers incredible rates for affordable ketamine therapy. The cost of treatments per session range from $349 – $450. Price varies from person to person, based on your unique needs.

Treatment applications include depression, anxiety, addiction, OCD, PTSD, and much more. During treatment sessions, ketamine is administered in low doses by licensed professionals.

After Treatment

After treatment, the patient will get a safe ride home.. Ketamine fully metabolizes within 3 – 6 hours. The following 12 – 24 hours is a crucial time for healing. This is where ketamine integration can play an integral role in making meaningful life changes. Your integration coach works with you by tapping into the new insights and thoughts brought about by ketamine treatment. 

How Ketamine Integration Works

Ketamine integration sessions occur during the 12 – 24 hours after ketamine treatments (infusions or other). Ketamine integration is primarily about applying ketamine-induced insights into your life. These sessions are led by an integration coach and last about 30 minutes. With your coach, you can discuss insights, feelings, and thoughts you are having from ketamine treatment. Then you can set intentions for your next treatment, make goals, and begin to apply new habits in your life.

An article published in the National Library of Medicine states: “The inclusion of appropriately timed adjunctive psychotherapy sessions supports and enhances ketamine’s mechanisms of action. It is thought that ketamine sets the stage and offers the experience necessary to forge new adaptive neural pathways in the brain, provided that psychedelic experiential integration occurs within the context of a supportive healing environment, and with the addition of timely psychotherapeutic interventions.”

Another article states that “It has been proposed that ketamine administration should be followed by additional psychotherapy to facilitate the integration of ketamine-induced transpersonal experiences and promote patient acceptance of insights discovered during [ketamine-assisted psychotherapy].”

What is Integration coaching?

“After ecstasy, the laundry.” — Jack Kornfield

There is a unique and profound awareness that occurs in ketamine treatments. With coaching, you can better harness any new discoveries made about yourself, your life, and your world. Ketamine starts the awareness, integration helps you put it into practice. Integration expedites healing, and is the best way to make the most of your investment.

As a coach, Ali will gently yet firmly walk you through paths of healing that lead to life-changing and life-giving results.

  • You want to improve relationships (with self & others)
