Ketamine Therapy at Hawaii Wellness Clinic is backed by decades of clinical research and our medical team of care experts offering rapid-acting relief for mood disorders, chronic pain, and trauma-related conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine infusions often produce noticeable improvements in hours or days, and we’ve refined every step to make your journey as safe, comfortable, and effective as possible.

Why Ketamine?

Fast Onset of Action

Clinical studies show that sub-anesthetic ketamine infusions can dramatically reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and severe anxiety, often within 24–48 hours, making it a lifeline for those who’ve exhausted other options.

Versatile Applications

Beyond mood, ketamine’s unique NMDA-receptor modulation has been validated for chronic pain syndromes, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), migraine, and certain neuropathic conditions. Our providers tailor protocols to match your specific diagnosis and goals.

Neuroplasticity & Long-Term Resilience

Ketamine stimulates a cascade of neurotrophic factors (like BDNF) that promote synaptic growth and rewiring, laying the groundwork for sustained emotional balance and cognitive flexibility when combined with therapy or wellness practices.

Who Can Benefit?

  • Treatment-Resistant Depression
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Anxiety Disorders & OCD
  • Bipolar Depression (as adjunctive therapy)
  • Chronic Pain & CRPS
  • Suicidal Ideation (emergency protocols available)

If you’ve felt stuck, numb, or overwhelmed despite trying medications, talk therapy, or lifestyle changes, ketamine might be the catalyst you need.

Your Treatment Journey

Comprehensive Medical Intake

Before any infusion, you’ll meet with our medical director, a board-certified anesthesiologist, for a full health history, medication review, and baseline vital signs. We’ll also discuss your goals so every infusion aligns with your desired outcome.

Personalized Protocol Design

Protocols range from a standard six-infusion course (twice weekly over three weeks) to accelerated or maintenance schedules, depending on response. Dosing begins at sub-anesthetic levels to minimize dissociation while maximizing the therapeutic effect.

Infusion Day

  1. Comfort First – Settle into our spa-inspired lounge with calming Hawaiian music, plush pillows, and your choice of aromatherapy.
  2. Gentle Administration – A slow, continuous IV infusion typically takes 40–60 minutes, and our nurse anesthetist monitors your vitals and comfort throughout.
  3. Guided Experience – If desired, you can use noise-cancelling headphones with a curated meditative playlist, or simply rest with eyes closed as the treatment unfolds.

Post-Infusion Support

After each session, we offer a 30-minute recovery period with herbal tea and light snacks. Our team checks in on your mental and physical state before you head home, often feeling lighter, clearer, and more hopeful.

Integration and Follow-Up

  1. To solidify gains, we encourage psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, or neurofeedback sessions between infusions. Follow-up visits assess progress, adjust dosing, and plan your path to sustained wellness.

Safety and Credentials

  • Board-Certified Team – All infusions are overseen by board-certified anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and registered nurses with specialized training in ketamine protocols.
