Elevate Health

Elevate Health in Springfield, Missouri offers both IV ketamine infusion therapy and Spravato for certain treatment-resistant mood disorders. Ketamine acts on the NMDA receptor rather than the serotonin or dopamine pathways targeted by traditional antidepressants, repairing damaged neural connections, stimulating neuroplasticity, and disrupting negative thought patterns to provide rapid relief.

Infusions are administered in a comfortable, private suite, precisely tailored using computer modeling of target blood levels and monitored throughout, following American Psychiatric Association and American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines. Each infusion lasts about 40 minutes, with an initial series of six over two to three weeks followed by periodic maintenance.

Elevate Health may suit patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and certain anxiety conditions, and holds a VA contract providing ketamine infusions to referred veterans.
