COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT KETAMINE THERAPY

Yes — Spravato® (esketamine) is FDA-approved and covered by many commercial insurance plans and Medicare. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your first appointment at no cost to you. Most patients with commercial PPO plans or Medicare Part B qualify for coverage after prior authorization.
Many patients notice significant improvement within hours to days of their first treatment — a dramatic contrast to traditional antidepressants, which can take 4–6 weeks. IV ketamine and Spravato are among the fastest-acting treatments available for depression and PTSD.
A standard IV ketamine induction series consists of 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks. Spravato follows an FDA-approved protocol: twice weekly for 4 weeks (induction), then weekly for 4 weeks (optimization), then every 1–2 weeks (maintenance). Your specific protocol will be determined during your evaluation.
No. You must arrange a ride home after every ketamine treatment session. For IV ketamine and IM ketamine, you cannot drive for the remainder of the day. For Spravato, you cannot drive until the following day. We recommend having a trusted friend or family member accompany you.
When administered in a medical setting under physician supervision, ketamine therapy is not considered addictive. The doses used therapeutically are much lower than recreational doses, and sessions are carefully spaced. Dr. Gillin screens all patients for substance use history and will discuss any concerns during your evaluation.
Yes. IV ketamine delivers racemic ketamine (both R and S enantiomers) directly into the bloodstream, allowing real-time dose adjustment. Spravato® contains only esketamine (the S enantiomer) and is administered as a nasal spray under supervision. IV ketamine is off-label but highly effective; Spravato is FDA-approved for TRD and MDSI and often covered by insurance.
Ketamine infusions are typically self-pay and range from $550 per session. If you have completed a treatment series with us before, it is $500 per session. Spravato is often covered by insurance, significantly reducing out-of-pocket costs. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and will work with you to find the most affordable path to treatment.
Ketamine therapy may not be appropriate for patients with uncontrolled hypertension, active psychosis, certain cardiovascular conditions, a history of ketamine abuse, or pregnancy. Dr. Gillin conducts a thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation to determine candidacy before any treatment begins.
Most patients describe a dissociative, dream-like experience during the infusion — a sense of floating, visual patterns, or a shift in perception of time and space. The experience is temporary and resolves within 30–60 minutes of the infusion ending. Many patients find it deeply introspective and even therapeutic in itself.
When administered by a trained medical personnel in a properly equipped medical setting, ketamine therapy is very safe. Dr. Gillin’s background as an anesthesiologist means he has administered thousands of ketamine doses in high-stakes medical environments. All sessions include continuous monitoring of vital signs.
No referral is required. You can contact us directly to schedule a free consultation. However, we do request records from your current or previous mental health providers to ensure we have a complete picture of your history and treatment background.
In most cases, yes. Dr. Gillin will review your current medications during your evaluation. Some medications may need to be adjusted before treatment. Spravato specifically requires concurrent use of an oral antidepressant per FDA guidelines.
Results vary by individual and condition. Some patients experience relief lasting months after a single series; others benefit from periodic maintenance treatments. The Seaside Method is designed to extend and deepen your results through root-cause treatment and lifestyle optimization.
REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) is an FDA program that ensures Spravato is administered safely. Only REMS-certified clinics can prescribe and administer Spravato. Seaside Ketamine Newport Beach is a fully REMS-certified provider, meaning every Spravato session meets the FDA’s strict safety standards.
Yes. We offer KAP in collaboration with licensed therapists who specialize in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Integration sessions before and after treatment help you process insights from your ketamine experience and translate them into lasting behavioral and emotional change.
