IV Infusions for Health and Wellness
What Are IV Infusions & How Do They Work?
IV (intravenous) infusion therapy is an effective, fast way to deliver nutrients, hydration, and medication directly into your bloodstream. Because IV infusions bypass the digestive system, they allow for optimal absorption of active ingredients. This direct delivery method results in faster relief compared to traditional oral alternatives.
A licensed clinician will insert a small catheter into a vein in your arm. Then, your customized solution, whether it be hydration for overall wellness, vitamins for immunity, or ketamine for chronic pain, will be delivered through the catheter and into your body. The infusion process can last anywhere from thirty minutes to four hours, depending on the specific infusion being administered.
Here at Resilience Integrative Wellness, all IV infusions are performed on-site and by licensed clinicians in our sterile, welcoming clinic.
Our IV Infusion Menu
Ketamine
For Mental Health Disorders
IV ketamine has been shown to help relieve symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other mood disorders. When used to treat mental health disorders, IV ketamine typically starts with a series of 6-12 infusions over 2-4 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
The infusion itself typically lasts around 40 minutes, followed by an observation period to ensure your safety and comfort.
For Chronic Pain
IV ketamine for chronic pain is highly individualized. Our ketamine experts will customize an IV infusion schedule based on your specific needs and goals.
The sessions themselves need to be slow, with many clients receiving their infusion over the course of four hours, followed by an observation and monitoring period.
Why IVs Are Preferred Treatments
Superior Absorption
Because nutrients are delivered directly into the bloodstream, the absorption of an IV infusion is unmatched.
Fast Relief
Thanks to that quick absorption, many feel the positive effects within hours–not days.
Minimally Invasive
IV infusions only require a quick prick in the arm, yet deliver maximum benefits.
Customizable
Treatments are highly customized and will be tailored to meet your unique wellness goals.
Is IV Infusion Therapy Right for You?
IV infusion therapy can be a powerful tool for enhancing both physical and mental health. Delivering nutrients and hydration directly into your bloodstream offers immediate support that dietary changes and oral supplements may not provide as quickly or efficiently. However, like any other therapy, IV infusion treatments are not right for everyone.
IV infusions are best suited for those dealing with the following:
- Persistent fatigue or low energy that doesn’t improve with diet or rest
- A weakened immune system or frequent illness
- Difficulting concentrating
- Chronic pain
- Nutrient deficiencies due to absorption issues, lifestyle, or restrictive diets
- High stress or burnout
- Dehydration from alcohol use, heat exposure, illness, or recent travel
- Jet lag
- Post-party sluggishness
Our professionals will evaluate your symptoms and learn about your health goals to determine if our IV infusions are right for you.
