Get the relief you deserve at Denver’s longest running ketamine clinic. Our integrative approach can help you get better fast and enjoy life again.
At Ballen Medical & Wellness, we’re not just an IV therapy center or limited-service ketamine clinic. We’re integrative mental health specialists and experts in the holistic treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and most other psychiatric conditions.
After all, you’re not coming to our center just for ketamine — you’re coming to heal and to grow, to find hope, and to feel more like yourself again. These results are entirely possible for most of the patients that walk through our door — and they’re even more likely when ketamine is part of larger plan that looks at all components of your mental health and wellness.
The industry average of ketamine treatment success is between 70-80%, but we have over a 90% success rate. We credit this higher rate of success to our integrative approach as well as our dedication to optimizing the results of your treatment.
Our team includes some of the most caring, experienced nurses you can find in Denver, but it also includes experts in integrative mental health — from psychiatry and psychotherapy to hormones, nutrition, and more.

Ketamine Infusions: Our current price for individual infusions is $440 but we offer lower rates of $415-$430 per infusion through our pre-paid packages.
Initial Medical Evaluations (30 minutes): Please note all ketamine treatment requires a one-time medical evaluation for $150. This includes a half-hour visit with a prescribing NP or MD to make sure that this will be a safe treatment for you with a high likelihood of effectiveness.
Integrative Medical Evaluations (60 minutes): We also offer a full integrative evaluation if you’d like to go deeper and explore making ketamine treatment part of a holistic plan with medication management and other supporting therapies. This longer evaluation is an additional $150. This longer evaluation is also needed if you’d like medication management services along with your ketamine treatment or if you have a complex medical history that requires more in-depth discussion.

Yes, most experts consider IV ketamine infusions to be the gold standard in administering this life-changing medication. Infusions allow a much deeper, more dissociative, and more introspective experience than nasal sprays or oral forms of ketamine. Even though ketamine isn’t technically a psychedelic medicine, it is often grouped with other psychedelics because of the experience that infusions (and also IM injections) can provide.
One key advantage of infusions is that they allow us to adjust the speed at which you receive ketamine in the middle of a session. Infusions can even be paused or diluted with additional fluids if the experience feels too intense. Because of this flexibility, infusions ensure the experience isn’t too strong or too weak. With pills, nasal sprays, and even injections, it isn’t possible to reduce or increase the rate and intensity during a treatment, which can lead to experiences that are too intense or not intense enough for many patients’ preferences. It should also be noted that both infusions and IM injections allow you to absorb higher dosages than pills and nasal sprays can provide.
Another important thing to consider in deciding which treatment is right for you is that pills and nasal sprays do not provide the more profound, dissociative experience that many patients prefer. There is even evidence-based ketamine research that shows this dissociative experience may help the antidepressant effects of ketamine last longer.
Usually 6-9 infusions are recommended, along with periodic maintenance infusions. Some patients choose ketamine to replace their traditional depression medication altogether, which might require more frequent maintenance infusions.
We currently offer IV Ketamine infusions for $390-$440 per infusion depending on whether you receive it as part of a package or as a standalone infusion. You can see our full IV menu for pricing on all of our infusions and injections.
Ballen Medical & Wellness is a cash pay clinic and does not accept insurance, but out-of-network benefits can be applied. Please call us for more details.
Many of our ketamine patients have outside therapists. Although we offer psychotherapy and counseling at our center, we often partner with outside therapists to prescribe and provide ketamine for their patients. Please note: You are welcome to bring your therapist to your sessions in our private ketamine suites. Ask us for details.
Ketamine infusion therapy works both as a standalone treatment and in conjunction with oral depression medication. If you’re already taking an oral medication, we typically have you continue your during your ketamine infusion series though individual cases may vary.
In cases where a previously effective depression medication has ceased working, a ketamine series sometimes helps your medication to work again.
If you haven’t yet started oral medication, ketamine therapy can provide immediate relief to help you while you perform your trials of oral depression medication.
Yes. Although the majority of ketamine infusions are for depression, ketamine has also demonstrated highly effective results with severe anxiety. Ketamine can also be very effective when both severe anxiety and depression are present together.
During your in-person evaluation, we can determine whether you’re a good candidate for ketamine, or if another therapy might be more appropriate for you. Our center offers a full spectrum of traditional prescription medicine as well as many holistic options to help with anxiety.
In addition to treating depression and anxiety, IV ketamine can also help with:
