At One Mind, your treatment begins with understanding your history, reviewing your needs, and determining whether IV ketamine is appropriate for you. Here is how evaluation, scheduling, preparation, treatment, and integration fit together.
Start with a free consultation to discuss your mental health or chronic pain history and ask questions.
Before treatment begins, our medical team reviews your medical and psychiatric history, previous treatments, current medications, and treatment goals. This evaluation helps determine your candidacy and develop an individualized treatment plan. Not everyone is a candidate for IV ketamine.
If treatment is appropriate, your physician develops a plan based on your needs.
Our mental health infusion series includes six in-clinic IV ketamine treatments over two to three weeks. Our Advanced IV Ketamine Pain Protocol includes three consecutive daily infusions lasting two hours each.
Contact our care team to discuss your program and scheduling. Plan transportation home after every infusion. You cannot drive yourself home.
Our medical team provides instructions for preparing for treatment, including any fasting or medication guidance specific to your situation. Follow those instructions and discuss medication changes with your treating clinicians.
Preparation coaching is a separate service that provides space to clarify intentions, discuss the experience, and explore grounding tools before your first infusion.
The IV Ketamine Infusion Series includes six infusions. Preparation and integration coaching are included in the Transformation Programs or available through a separate four-session coaching package.
All ketamine infusions take place at our Fort Lauderdale clinic in a private treatment room under medical supervision.
Mental health infusions last approximately 40–45 minutes, with additional time for preparation and recovery. Pain infusions last two hours, with total clinic visits generally taking 2.5–3 hours.
Your medical team monitors you throughout treatment. You may choose to wear an eye mask and listen to music. Experiences vary; some people feel calm or introspective, while others find the sensations unfamiliar.
Afterward, you remain in the clinic for recovery before leaving with your arranged transportation.
Integration coaching provides time to reflect on your experience and explore how your insights may relate to everyday life.
Each Transformation Program includes one preparation session before your first infusion and three integration sessions during your infusion series, with your selected specialist:
Dr. Spertus’s coaching appointments are virtual and separate from your in-clinic infusions. Preparation and integration sessions are coaching appointments, not medical appointments or psychotherapy.
Your first appointment with either specialist is the preparation session included in your purchased program. We do not offer introductory specialist calls, meet-the-specialist appointments, or direct provider booking.
With your permission, we can also coordinate with your existing therapist, psychiatrist, or other treating providers. Booster infusions may be considered according to your response and needs.
Tell us your story. We’ll map the path forward.
We’ll listen, understand your needs, and see if ketamine therapy is the right fit. No pressure. No obligations. Just support, guidance, and clear answers.
