Cost of Ketamine Infusion Treatments
The total cost for a course of ketamine therapy will vary based on your individual treatment plan. This guide is an estimate of approximate treatment costs before discounts.
Pre-Treatment Screening - $125
As a safety measure, all Mind Body Centers patients must undergo medical and psychological screening prior to receiving ketamine therapy. This screening includes a psychological assessment, a psychological interview with a counselor, and a medical history review with one of our clinicians.
Ketamine Infusion
1 Hr 45 Min Mental Health Infusion: $375
2 Hr 45 Min Prolonged Mental Health Infusion: $500
4 Hr 30 Min. Complex Pain Infusion: $750
5 Hr 30 Min Prolonged Pain Infusion: $1000
In addition to the ketamine infusion, these treatment costs include:
- A private room with a recliner and smart TV for music and movies
- A licensed Patient Care Provider in the room with you at all times to monitor your vital signs and ensure your comfort
- Any supplemental medications you may need during the treatment
Total Cost of Stabilization
Mental Health Treatment: $1500 – $2250 for 4 or 6 infusions
Pain Treatment: $2250 – $3750 for 3 or 5 infusions
Initial ketamine infusions, which are generally condensed into a single week, are known as stabilization treatments. Treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of each patient, which means that the number of stabilization treatments will vary.
Ketamine infusions taking place after the stabilization period are known as maintenance treatments. The MBC clinical staff will evaluate your progress closely after the stabilization period. The maintenance protocol varies based on the patient’s needs with the goal of progressing into longer intervals between treatments.

Maintenance Treatments
Maintenance Protocol for Chronic Pain
This period refers to all ongoing treatments after stabilization.
The maintenance schedule thereafter is two additional consecutive treatments (two weeks after stabilization), and then future treatments are based on remission and the patient’s need for additional treatments moving forward.
Maintenance Protocol for Mental Health
The maintenance schedule varies for each patient but the typical schedule begins approximately ten days after the last Stabilization treatment. The next treatment occurs approximately one month after the Stabilization Period treatments. The MBC clinical staff will evaluate your progress closely afterwards. The maintenance schedule varies based on the patient’s needs with the goal of progressing into longer intervals between treatments.

Clinical Trials / Paid Trials
Mind Body Centers focuses on proven treatment protocols. We do not offer clinical trials/studies (paid or otherwise).
Getting Well vs. Getting By
Prior to ketamine treatment, some patients may find themselves on a number of oral medications (such as antidepressants and opioids) that are ineffective and/or cause serious side effects. The price of these medications can also be very expensive. Where ketamine is effective, patients have been able to successfully wean themselves off some of those oral medications, allowing for relief from the original symptoms of their condition as well as the side effects of the medication. The MBC clinical staff would work with your prescriber to ensure this is done in a safe and effective manner.
Prioritizing You
For those suffering from depression, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions, the delaying of one’s healthcare is something we see all too often.
It’s usually done for completely understandable reasons: financial burden, bad timing, stigma, work obligations, family or social pressure. All of these reasons influence one’s decision to seek therapy and long-term relief.
Many of the conditions we treat here at Mind Body Centers are what we call “hidden afflictions” because they can be disguised, to some extent, to the outside world. The risk of not treating such conditions may be as serious and costly as other health issues such as heart disease, cancer, or diabetes, which we seek immediate treatment for. This is especially true of mental health conditions since symptoms may escalate to the level of self-harm.
For those suffering and seeking relief, it is critical to find the motivation to prioritize themselves. Take a brave step forward in confronting your condition. If you or a loved one have tried other treatment options and are still suffering then ketamine might be the right treatment option to provide long-term and substantive relief.
There is Hope. There is Help.
