Depression Treatment in Chicago

If you or a loved one are suffering, schedule a consultation with Innovative Psychedelics today. It’s time to get back to the life you love.

Innovative Psychedelics now has two locations – Chicago and Downers Grove. Our experienced team of providers understand and specialize in the ketamine treatment. We also have a team of therapists to guide patients through their treatment journey.

Dr. Khare is a board certified emergency physician who spent over a decade at Northwestern Medicine before opening his own group of medical practices. He was among the first physicians in Chicago to offer ketamine infusions. After seeing the life-changing results, Khare opened a dedicated Ketamine practice in 2018 (Innovative Ketamine). We are committed to helping patients regain their quality of life.

Patients with chronic pain that has not responded to traditional treatment methods (prescription pharmaceuticals for example) or those who plan to undergo surgery for pain, may be well-suited for ketamine.

We commonly treat pain caused by the following conditions:

• Cancer
• CRPS
• Fibromyalgia
• Neuropathic pain
• Phantom pain
• Postherpetic neuralgia
• Sickle cell disease
• Spinal injury

Therapy combined with IV Ketamine can be a powerful combination. The team at Innovative Therapy works closely with the Innovative Pyshedelics team to support patients who are struggling with behavioral health conditions. We specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, women’s mental health, trauma, PTSD, ADHD and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Contact our therapy team today. We look forward to guiding you in your journey toward self-discovery, behavioral changes and overall mental health wellness.

Spravato (aka Esketamine) is a new, FDA approved medication, which is an isomer of Ketamine (aka racemic ketamine).

Spravato is an FDA approved medication, meaning, to be covered by insurance, however, we must use the medication exactly as the FDA approved it.

This means:

1. You must come to the clinic to get the medications administered
   a. This means you will not get the nasal spray medication to take home. You will always have to come to Innovative Ketamine to get the medication
2. You must be monitored for at least 2 hours
   a. This is an FDA mandate, there are no exceptions
3. During this 2 hour, your blood pressure will be monitored and recorded
4. Innovative Ketamine must send a 2-page, detailed note to Janssen (the maker of Spravato) to record any abnormal responses
5. We must follow the following protocol:
   a. Induction: weeks 1-4: Come into the clinic twice a week for 2 hours each
   b. Maintenance: weeks 5-8: Come into the clinic once a week for 2 hours each
   c. Weeks 9 and after: Come into the clinic every 2 weeks for 2 hours each
