IV ketamine therapy — monitored, measured, humane.
IV ketamine therapy delivers low-dose, physician-supervised infusions for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and certain chronic pain conditions. At Apex, infusions start at $450, with a standard six-infusion series around $3,000. Every session is monitored start to finish, and treatment begins with a careful screening for whether it's right for you.
What it is
For depression that hasn't responded to standard medications, subanesthetic ketamine works through a different mechanism than SSRIs — and many patients experience relief on a much shorter timeline. It's also used for anxiety, PTSD, and some chronic pain syndromes.
This is medicine, not a lounge. At Apex every infusion is administered by our nurse practitioner and supervised on-site by Dr. Abdullah, in a calm, controlled setting, with your response tracked across the series.
We screen carefully. Ketamine isn't right for everyone, and we're candid about who benefits, what the series involves, and how it fits with the rest of your mental-health care.
How it works
A different pathway
Ketamine acts on the glutamate system, a mechanism distinct from conventional antidepressants — often with a faster onset.
Supervised dosing
Subanesthetic infusions are administered by our nurse practitioner and monitored throughout, with a physician supervising on-site.
A structured series
Depression protocols typically run six infusions over two to three weeks, with maintenance as needed.
→Candidacy
Who this is — and isn't — for.
Likely a good candidate
- Treatment-resistant depression that hasn't responded to medications
- Anxiety or PTSD under appropriate care
- Certain chronic pain syndromes
- Patients wanting physician-monitored treatment
- Those coordinating with an existing mental-health provider
Likely not the right answer
- Uncontrolled blood pressure or certain cardiac conditions
- Active psychosis or specific psychiatric contraindications
- History of ketamine misuse
- Anyone seeking treatment without screening or follow-up
Ketamine is a serious therapy and we treat it that way. We screen thoroughly, monitor every infusion, and coordinate with your mental-health care — and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't the right fit.
Ketamine therapy is not emergency care. If you're having thoughts of harming yourself or are in crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. We're here once you're safe.

?Questions patients ask
Straight answers.
What does ketamine therapy cost in Dallas?
At Apex, IV ketamine infusions are $450–$600 each — the same whether it's an initial or a maintenance infusion — with a standard six-infusion depression series around $3,000. Pricing is set after screening.
Is IV ketamine covered by insurance?
IV ketamine is typically off-label and self-pay. Esketamine (Spravato) is sometimes covered; we can discuss the options and any HSA/FSA and financing pathways at your consultation.
What conditions does it treat?
Treatment-resistant depression is the most common, along with anxiety, PTSD, and certain chronic pain conditions. It's used when standard treatments haven't been enough.
Is it safe and supervised?
Yes. Every infusion at Apex is administered by our nurse practitioner and supervised on-site by a physician, in a controlled setting, with your blood pressure and response tracked throughout. We screen for contraindications first.
How fast does it work?
Many patients notice a shift within the first few infusions — often faster than conventional antidepressants. The full series is designed to build and extend that response.
