FAQs

Ketamine is an FDA-approved, powerful anesthetic that was developed more than 50 years ago. It has not yet been FDA-approved for the treatment of psychiatric disorders and chronic pain, making it an off-label treatment option.

Ketamine has a good safety profile and has been used widely as an anesthetic in emergency medicine and in operating rooms and wound clinics around the world on a daily basis. It is often used for the most fragile patients, including children and the elderly, because of its safe profile.

Since the year 2000, ketamine has been found to be a valuable and highly effective treatment for depression, anxiety, various mood disorders, and certain pain disorders. It works at the receptor level to stimulate and preserve neurons, a key effect that reduces symptoms associated with mood disorders, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Ketamine is safe only when administered by a medical professional. Like with any pharmaceutical drug, unsupervised, casual/street use is dangerous and never recommended, even when self-medicating.

When administered properly and under the right supervision, ketamine has been used extensively for anesthesia every day. It has been used safely in millions of patients for over 50 years. Extensive medical studies have demonstrated IV ketamine therapy greatly and safely improves symptoms of severe depression, bipolar depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions.

It is 1 of only 2 anesthetics listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an “essential drug,” meaning that it satisfies the healthcare needs of the majority of the population. This classification dictates that essential drugs should be available at all times in appropriate amounts and dosage forms at a price the community can afford.

The WHO is a specialized agency of the United Nations concerned with international public health.

Our commitment to deliver treatment compassionately, safely, and affordably is our number one priority. We customize our ketamine therapy protocol to your specific needs. We monitor your response, and we will make any adjustments necessary to maximize its benefits.

The NueMind clinic offers private, beautiful treatment rooms with optional mood music for a discreet and serene environment. Your treatment will be administered and monitored by trained medical professionals. We pay meticulous attention to your comfort, safety, and needs during the treatment.

We also perform post-infusion, next-day follow-up calls to ensure your safety and to record and evaluate your response to the treatment. We utilize an objective mood tracker to monitor the effectiveness of your treatment so that you always know your progress.

If you’re among the 20% of Americans who experience chronic pain (pain that lasts for more than 12 weeks), you know the devastating effects it has on your quality of life. When other strategies don’t seem to work—or aren’t working as well as you hoped—IV therapy may provide the relief you need.

IV therapy for pain management in Kingwood can introduce missing or necessary vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more directly into your bloodstream. The process is actually relaxing, and it only takes 45 minutes to an hour.

The contents of your IV therapy bag will be custom-tailored to address your pain concerns. For example, with chronic pain caused by muscle damage, we would deliver minerals, nutrients, and more to promote healing and cell regeneration. Or, if inflammation is exacerbating issues, we can include antioxidants and other immune-boosting nutrients to ease the problem.

Because our IV therapy doesn’t involve drugs, there’s no worry about addiction or function-reducing side effects. During your initial consultation, we’ll talk about what’s hurting you and go over your medical history. Then, we can make qualified recommendations for your IV therapy that will produce the best results for your pain management.

We’ve made the process of qualifying for a medical marijuana license as simple as possible. It starts with a Texas medical marijuana evaluation. To perform this, you don’t have to come into the clinic. An initial consultation for medical marijuana at NueMind is $150—and if you don’t qualify, we refund it.

With the convenience of telemedicine, patients throughout the state of Texas can receive expert consultations from a team of providers who are also medical cannabis specialists. Patients can also expect same-day appointments with their doctor from the comfort and safety of home.

The team at NueMind strives to provide our patients with the highest level of care. We can help you integrate medical cannabis evaluations into your existing treatment plans. Our goal is to improve your well-being, which may benefit from the addition of medically informed and research-driven low TCH protocols. We work under the guidelines of the Compassionate Use Act to bring medical cannabis to the forefront of health care.

Most of our patients feel the positive effects of their IV drip therapy at NueMind Ketamine & IV Wellness within an hour after receiving it. Some patients feel the effects immediately after their IV therapy session ends. Since the hydration and nutrient/vitamin/mineral mix bypass the digestive process, they are immediately available in your bloodstream, and your body can absorb 100% of the nutrients at accelerated speed.

Our IV hydration patients come from all walks of life. Many times, we perform IV infusion in Kingwood for:

• Medical workers. Supporting immunity and focus for nurses, doctors, etc. because of their front-line exposure to germs/viruses.
• Teachers. Supporting immunity and energy for working with large groups of children.
• Athletes. IV therapy can help them recover more quickly and support muscle, bone, and skin health.
• Frequent travelers. People who are traveling—going or returning—often have IV therapy sessions to support their immune systems and to re-energize (especially in regards to jet lag).
• Medical patients. Those who are recovering from an illness or going through therapies/treatments that are hard on their systems find support and relief through IV infusion in Kingwood.
• People with aesthetic goals. We can customize IV formulations that rehydrate skin, provide a youthful glow, and even help your body rebuild collagen and elastin content for healthy, supportive tissue.

The John Myer’s Cocktail—also known as the “banana bag”—is our most popular and versatile multivitamin and multimineral infusion. It was developed by Dr. John Myers in 1954 for micronutrient therapy to help patients suffering from chronic medical conditions.

This drip has been scientifically shown to alleviate the symptoms of multiple ailments, including chronic fatigue, asthma, muscle spasms, headaches, viral illnesses, as well as allergies and chronic stress. Chronic stress causes multiple ill health effects, including accelerated cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and hormonal imbalance. The symptoms of stress cause decreased productivity and disturbed sleep patterns, and they can have a big impact on our daily lives.

The John Myer’s Cocktail delivers essential nutrients directly to the cells for maximal absorption to calm the body and mind, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and allowing you to function at your fullest potential.

The doses required for most medical therapies are most frequently quite lower than what people utilize on a recreational basis.

The regulated cannabis market provides many more options than what medical patients had in the past. This includes different cannabis strains (chemovars) that provide different benefits and effects.

Patients can avoid THC’s intoxicating effects through strain choice and ingestion style. Also, patients who have been using smaller doses on a regular basis can develop a tolerance to the psychoactive effects of cannabis. So, getting “high” is not a necessary part of medical marijuana use.

Regardless of the strain, ingestion style, or dosages, patients still shouldn’t drive when undergoing this therapy, though most don’t report detrimental effects to their general function.

The FDA and DEA list marijuana of any strain as a Schedule I drug. This means they see medical marijuana as a drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

It is unfortunate that the federal government hasn’t caught up with modern research and clinical results. As it is, many hospitals won’t jeopardize their federal funding by allowing medical marijuana on their premises, and they may even prohibit medical marijuana on their premises. They may also prohibit physicians and/or providers within their system from certifying patients.

Also, if hospitals and other health care facilities receive reimbursement from federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid, they’re required to follow federal law.
