How Does Medication Management Work with KAP?

If you are undergoing KAP, medication management is included at no extra cost. Medication management can be helpful at different stages of your treatment:

• During KAP: To monitor any adjustments needed for your medications, ensuring your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment.
• After KAP: To adjust your medications as needed after completing 6-8 KAP sessions.

A dosing session is a 2–3-hour appointment where you meet with your therapist—either in person or remotely—and self-administer sublingual ketamine lozenges. After taking the medicine, you lie down in a calm, comfortable space to experience an inward journey, while the primary effects last about 45 minutes. Your therapist remains present throughout to offer support and hold space. Read more.
