How does starting ketamine treatment at Innerwell work?

Embarking on ketamine treatment at Innerwell is a straightforward and supportive process designed to cater to your individual needs. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the journey:

1. Take Our Patient Screener: Begin by taking our patient screener, which helps us understand your needs better.

2. Check Out and Patient Portal: After completing the screener, proceed to check out. Once completed, you will be seamlessly redirected to the Innerwell Portal.

3. Complete Onboarding: Once you are in the Innerwell Portal, you will undergo a thorough onboarding process to capture all necessary medical and psychiatric history for personalized treatment. You will also be prompted to set your Program Goals, which are designed to help you bring deeper understanding to what you’d like to achieve through Innerwell. Take some time to reflect honestly on each of the questions below, as they may inform the progression of your journey.

4. Choose Your Psychiatric Clinician: Your clinician will play a crucial role in guiding you through your mental health journey. They will continue working closely with you through the rest of your program at Innerwell.

5. Schedule Your Medical Consult: Schedule your Medical Consult directly in the Innerwell Portal. This session allows your Psychiatric Clinician to get to know you, review relevant aspects of your medical and/or psychiatric history, and confirm the suitability of your treatment plan, in terms of both safety and clinical appropriateness. The consultation includes an informed consent process, ensuring you comprehend the risks, benefits, and alternatives to treatment at Innerwell. If you are approved to start treatment, your clinician will also tailor the dose of your first two ketamine experiences to your individual situation.

If you are approved to start ketamine treatment:

1. Start Your Treatment: Upon completing your Medical Consult, your first two doses will be ordered and included inside the Innerwell Box. You can expect to receive the tracking information via UPS within 2-3 business days. Remember to adhere to the frequency and dose of ketamine recommended by your Psychiatric Clinician. Your treatment schedule is optimized to reduce your symptoms and facilitate healing.

2. Ongoing Support and Monitoring: Our goal is to empower your clinicians to fine tune your treatment and provide you with a clear view of your progress. Throughout your journey, you will receive ongoing support from your Psychiatric Clinician in your medical check-in appointments. Additionally, within your Innerwell Portal, you can access digital guidance and experience integrated data-driven care facilitated by mood tracking and questionnaires.

   Pro Tip: You can also schedule a "Meet Your Therapist" psychotherapy session. Although this session is not mandatory, it is part of our standard care programs. We believe that when combined with ketamine, therapy enhances self-understanding, helping you gain valuable insights into your personal priorities and well-being.
