What to Expect During Your First Ketamine Session
At Sage Rose Health, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our health care providers create a calm and supportive environment for your ketamine infusion therapy from start to finish.
We ensure you are fully prepared for the experience. Our team carefully calculates the doses of ketamine for your specific needs and is with you every step of the way. The process involves a pre-treatment consultation, the infusion itself, and post-treatment care.
Pre-Treatment Consultation and Preparation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive pre-treatment consultation. During this meeting, our healthcare professionals will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and answer all your questions. This is our chance to get to know you and understand your goals for treatment.
Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We believe in a collaborative approach, where you are an active partner in your care. Our team provides the mental health support you need to feel confident and informed before your first session begins.
This initial step is crucial for ensuring the therapy is safe and effective for you. It’s part of our commitment to providing the highest standard of care, as outlined in our About Us page.
Preparing for Your Ketamine Session
Proper preparation is key to having a positive and effective ketamine infusion experience. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure you are ready for your session. Our patient-centered care approach means we are here to support you before, during, and after the ketamine administration.
Typically, patients experience a dream-like, dissociative state during the infusion. This can feel calming and offer a new perspective on past traumas. To help create a comfortable atmosphere, you can bring headphones to listen to calming music.
To prepare for your session, we will ask you to:
-
Fast from food and liquids for a few hours before your infusion.
-
Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
-
Wear comfortable clothing to help you relax during the infusion.
The Infusion Experience Step by Step
On the day of your infusion, you will be welcomed into a peaceful and supportive environment. Our health care providers will help you get comfortable in a private room. You’ll begin by settling into a comfortable reclining chair to help you relax. A small IV will be placed to administer the medication safely and precisely. Before starting, we’ll take a few moments to help you settle in and set an intention for your experience—creating a space that feels grounded, safe, and focused on your healing.
We will then begin the drug administration through a simple IV drip of ketamine.
The infusion experience itself is designed to be relaxing. Here’s what you can generally expect:
-
The IV infusion lasts for about 40-60 minutes.
-
We monitor your vital signs throughout the entire process.
-
You might experience a dream-like state or altered perceptions, which is normal.
To help you feel as comfortable as possible, we provide a cozy blanket, calming music, and an eye mask if you’d like to use them. These optional supports can help you relax, minimize distractions, and create a more peaceful, inward-focused experience.
Our team will monitor you to ensure your safety and comfort. The goal is to provide a therapeutic experience that allows you to disconnect from your anxiety and open your mind to new perspectives.

Safety and Potential Side Effects of Ketamine Therapy
Safety is paramount in any medical treatment. When administered by trained professionals in a clinical setting, ketamine therapy is very safe. The potential risks are minimized through careful screening and continuous monitoring during the infusion. The doses used for mental health are much lower than those used for anesthesia.
Some common side effects are:
-
Feeling dissociated or “detached” from your body or surroundings
-
Dizziness or lightheadedness
-
Nausea (sometimes, but often preventable with medication)
-
Blurred vision
-
Mild increase in blood pressure or heart rate
-
Fatigue or feeling tired after the session
Still, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects. The side effects of ketamine are typically mild and short-lived, resolving soon after the infusion ends. Understanding these potential responses can help you feel more prepared for your treatment.
Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up
Your care does not end when the infusion is over. Post-treatment care and follow-up are essential for integrating your experience and maximizing the benefits. After your session, you will rest in our supportive environment until you are ready to go home. For safety, we require you to have someone drive you.
In the days following your treatment, many patients report increased mental clarity and reduced symptoms. We encourage you to use this period for reflection and to engage in positive activities. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and plan any subsequent infusions.
This ongoing mental health care is a key part of our patient success. By combining the infusions with strong post-treatment support, we help you build on your progress for lasting change.
If you’ve been struggling and haven’t found relief with traditional treatments, ketamine therapy may offer a different path forward. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable, cared for, and guided every step of the way. From your first visit through each treatment, we take the time to listen, personalize your care, and ensure you feel prepared for the experience.
If you’re curious whether ketamine therapy is right for you, we invite you to schedule a consultation. We’re here to answer your questions, walk you through the process, and help you take the next step toward feeling like yourself again.
