We offer an effective, revolutionary  treatment for medication-resistant depression in the Portland, Maine area.

Help Is Here

Until recently traditional antidepressants where the only option for depression treatment. In addition to potential side-effects and withdrawal symptoms, there are many patients who do not experience any relief from these medications. Thankfully, a new, highly effective medical treatment for depression is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

The low doses of Ketamine treatment induces feelings that are euphoric and dreamlike.  Patients report a sense of deep relaxation.

Each patient will be required to get a psychiatric evaluation to determine if the patient meets criteria. This cost of this evaluation is $250 and is typically covered by insurance.

The cost of each ketamine treatment session is $800. A full course of treatment is typically 6 sessions over a three week period for a total of $4800. If a patient does not respond after the third the treatment, the practitioner may discontinue care.

Your initial and follow up visit with our psychiatrist may be covered by your insurance. Unfortunately, because Ketamine infusion therapy is considered “off-label” for use in the treatment of depression , insurance does not cover the infusions. However, if a patient is qualified, SPRAVATO® (esketamine) treatment, which is an oral medication, may be covered by insurance.

Each supervised infusion can take up to 45 minutes. Clients can expect to be at the facility for 90-120 minutes in total.

Dizzyness and mild nausea can occur especially with clients for a propensity to react to medications similarly. The practicioner has the ability to give nausea medications during your infusion session.

Every client is supervised by Bishop Health medical staff to ensure their safety for the duration of their infusion.

We recommend 6 sessions to receive the full benefit of the treatment.

Bishop Health has a wonderful team of consummate professionals. High quality, outcome driven mental health treatment in Portland. HIGHLY recommended!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words, Andrew! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to provide high-quality care.
As a family member of someone suffering from the disease of addiction it is incredibly stressful to be a source of support for them when they ask for help. Searching for where to send them is both intimidating and frightening. We are beyond grateful that our choices led us to a connection with Guardian Recovery's network of facilities. From detox, thru residential , PHP, IOP, and in additional case management services, our family member has been treated with kindness, respect and compassion. And our family has been supported in the very same way through all of the decision-making and navigating next steps. I am not saying GR is perfect, but when we have run into road bumps along the way, we have worked with the staff to manage and resolve any issues. We have repeatedly experienced that the employees at Guardian Recovery bring their hearts to work with them and give their very best to their efforts. We see the miracle of a life saved by the combined efforts of so many people who are dedicated in their profession. It required a high level of openness on the part of our loved one, but when he was finally ready to follow the guidance of someone other than himself, GR met the need and helped him find his way.
Caring and informative people, top to bottom. Put me solidly on my path to a better life. I cannot say enough about Christie Swart, my primary therapist. Professional, kind, engaged throughout the process. Took the time to get to understand my particular circumstances and tailored an appropriate approach. A true gem of a professional.
