Treat Your Depression With Ketamine Infusion Therapy

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.

I attended both IOP and TMS through Bishop Health. When I arrived at Bishop I was hanging onto life by a very tenuous thread. There must have been some spark in me that wanted to live, though, because I made my way there. The staff worked with me and helped to gently coax that spark into a small flame and eventually into a gentle fire.

IOP had been recommended to me several times over the years as I have struggled with depression, but I always resisted. I am so glad that I let myself seek the support of IOP this time around, because it feels like it has given me the time to dig deep and the tools to handle what I found. I still have days where I struggle - but I have some skills now that I can turn to on hard days and fellow IOP graduates/peers that I still lean on for support and fellowship.

I am grateful for the staff, the support, and the services that were provided by Bishop.... from help completing forms (Thanks Hayley) to the smiling face of Althea (thank you) to amazing counselors (Thanks Maeve and Chad) to skilled facilitators (Thank you Nina, Christine, Ben, Christina, Hannah, Chad, Amos, Melissa) to snacks with stickers that held encouraging messages to the TMS staff (Thank you MK, Katherine and Lisa) to the ED, Aronson who always made an effort to check-in!

I hope I won't ever get to the point where I need it again, but it makes me feel secure to know that Bishop will be there if I do.

Thanks!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Melissa! We're honored to have been part of your journey and are thrilled to know that our team was able to support you in such a meaningful way. Your words truly inspire us to continue providing exceptional care. Remember, you're never alone, and we're always here for you whenever you need us.
