If you have been searching for ketamine infusion therapy near you, you are not alone. For many people living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain, traditional treatments do not always provide the relief they need. That is where North Idaho Ketamine & TMS comes in, offering advanced, evidence-based ketamine infusion therapy right here in Coeur d’Alene.

If you have been curious about ketamine therapy and how it works, this guide will walk you through what to expect from start to finish.


What Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?


Ketamine infusion therapy uses a low dose of ketamine delivered intravenously in a safe, controlled medical environment. Originally used as an anesthetic, ketamine has gained recognition in recent years for its ability to rapidly improve symptoms of mood disorders and chronic pain. It works by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain and stimulating neuroplasticity, helping the brain create new pathways and restore healthy function.


Unlike many traditional antidepressants, ketamine can often provide noticeable improvements within hours or days, making it a promising option for individuals who have struggled with other forms of treatment.
