IV maintenance infusion
Support after your initial treatment series
Some patients who respond to IV ketamine therapy may benefit from occasional maintenance
infusions to help sustain symptom improvement over time. Maintenance treatment is
individualized and based on clinical response, safety, medical history, and ongoing assessment
by a qualified healthcare provider.
What are maintenance infusions?
Maintenance infusions are follow-up IV treatments provided after an initial course of therapy.
They may be considered when a patient has experienced meaningful improvement and symptoms
begin to return or fluctuate.
Who may benefit?
Maintenance therapy may be considered for patients who have previously responded to IV
treatment for conditions such as treatment-resistant depression or related mental health
symptoms, when clinically appropriate.
How often are treatments needed?
There is no fixed schedule that applies to everyone. Some patients may return every few weeks,
while others may require longer intervals. The goal is to use the lowest reasonable treatment
frequency while supporting ongoing stability.
When to consider maintenance
You may wish to contact the clinic if you notice:
- Symptoms gradually returning
- Reduced motivation, energy, or mood stability
- Increased anxiety, rumination, or emotional distress
- A decline in daily functioning
- Loss of benefit from prior infusions
Ongoing care matters
IV ketamine maintenance is not intended to replace your regular mental health care. Patients are
encouraged to continue working with their family physician, psychiatrist, therapist, or other
healthcare providers as part of a broader treatment plan.
Safety and monitoring
All maintenance infusions are provided in a monitored clinical setting. Before continuing
treatment, the clinical team will review your response, side effects, medications, and any changes
in your health.

Transferring Your Care to TKC
TKC welcomes patients from across Ontario who have previously received ketamine treatment at
another clinic and are seeking ongoing care or maintenance treatment.
Patients who are considering transferring their ketamine care to Toronto Ketamine Clinic are
invited to schedule a complimentary consultation with a member of our clinical team. During
this consultation, we can review your treatment history, discuss your goals, and determine
whether treatment at our clinic may be appropriate.
Where available, patients may be asked to provide relevant medical records or treatment
summaries from their previous ketamine provider to assist with clinical decision-making.
A complimentary consultation does not guarantee eligibility for treatment. All treatment
recommendations are based on an individualized medical assessment and clinical judgment.
