How Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine acts differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain's glutamate system, helping to restore healthy neural connections that may have been damaged by stress, trauma, or prolonged depression. Some patients experience symptom improvement within hours or days, though every person's response is different.
The way to make these improvements last and turn into even more change is found in the psychotherapy component. Patients at Lonerock meet with our ketamine-assisted psychotherapists first to be evaluated and to prepare for the treatments. This helps integrate their experiences, providing the opportunity to explore the narratives they want to rewrite in their lives as well as actionable ways to move forward differently. Due to ketamine's neuroplasticity, our patients can use this opportunity to repattern their brains for change that promotes healing.
Ketamine therapy is part of our psychiatric care at Lonerock — treatments are carefully monitored by medical professionals to ensure both safety and comfort. Each session is tailored to the patient's needs, combining medical expertise with compassionate care to promote long-term mental wellness.

Conditions Ketamine Therapy Can Help Treat
Ketamine therapy has shown remarkable results for patients living with mood and pain-related conditions that haven't responded to other treatments. It offers a new avenue of healing — whether it's your first treatment or your latest.
01
Treatment-Resistant Depression
When standard antidepressants and therapy haven't brought relief, ketamine works through a different mechanism to help.
02
Major Depression
Effective for individuals who have not improved with traditional antidepressants or therapy.
03
PTSD
Helps reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms as part of a structured, therapy-integrated program.
04
Anxiety Disorders
Helps ease the intensity of anxious thoughts and chronic stress when other treatments haven't helped.
05
Chronic Pain (when clinically appropriate)
May provide relief for conditions such as fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraines by interrupting pain signaling in the brain.

The differentiator
A Structured Approach to Ketamine Therapy (KAP)
At Lonerock Clinic, our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) program combines the safety of medically guided care with the depth of licensed psychotherapy to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting change. Your care team includes an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and medical prescribers trained at PRATI (Psychedelic Research and Training Institute) and Polaris, and ASKP3-certified (American Society of Ketamine Physicians, Psychotherapists & Practitioners), bringing years of trauma-informed, psychedelic therapy experience to every case. Patients throughout Eugene, Springfield, Roseburg, and across Oregon choose Lonerock for its comprehensive, therapy-integrated ketamine program.
We start with a medical clearance evaluation, followed by an extensive psychiatric evaluation; the purpose is to vet for program appropriateness and to tailor the specific ketamine protocol to best fit your needs. Throughout your care, you'll be supported by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified KAP practitioners. Some therapies are covered by insurance, and for those that aren't, we provide detailed payment packages to help you pursue out-of-network reimbursement.
Discreet, Flexible Care
At Lonerock Clinic, we understand that many patients value privacy, discretion, and flexibility when seeking medical care. We regularly work with professionals, healthcare providers, and individuals in public-facing roles who want treatment delivered with minimal disruption to their personal and professional lives. Patients may choose to use insurance or private pay — some prefer private-pay options so their care is not processed through insurance systems. Regardless of payment method, all patients complete a thorough clinical evaluation to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate. Our clinic also offers discreet access options, including underground parking and flexible scheduling, allowing you to receive care in a way that respects your privacy and daily commitments.

Our ketamine model
Vetting Is Our Premium Standard
Most clinics treat ketamine like a transaction: get an infusion, walk out. At Lonerock, we prioritize your outcomes over our clinic volume. Ketamine unlocks neuroplasticity — if used without the right timing or therapy, it can actually reinforce the stuck narratives you're trying to break. We vet strictly to ensure your safety and real, lasting healing.
“Ketamine unlocks neuroplasticity. Used without the right timing or therapy, it can reinforce the very narratives you're trying to break — which is why we vet so carefully.”
Ideal for Ketamine Therapy
- Introspective & motivated: Ready to actively partner with a therapist to do the mental work.
- Therapy-driven: You understand that true healing happens during psychotherapy integration.
- Stuck but self-aware: High-functioning individuals paralyzed by treatment-resistant depression or PTSD.
Better Suited for Other Paths
- Seeking a quick fix: Believing the medicine does 100% of the work without behavioral shifts.
- Standalone infusions: Looking for a purely chemical treatment without clinical support.
- Certain complex conditions: Active psychosis, schizophrenia, or severe personality disorders.
What if ketamine isn't the right fit today?
You're still in the right place. It just means your journey starts on a different path. Lonerock is a psychiatry clinic that also offers coordinated primary care and whole-person services. Our providers specialize in innovative, creative medication management. We frequently work with patients to build stability first, helping them successfully graduate into our ketamine program later.
The science
What Makes It Different
Ketamine targets the brain's glutamate system, helping to restore healthy communication between neurons and promote the growth of new neural connections.
Rapid Relief
Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine can provide relief after just one or two sessions.
Neuroplasticity Boost
Ketamine encourages the brain to form new pathways, supporting long-term healing and resilience.
Safe and Monitored Treatment
Each session is closely supervised by our medical team in a calm, controlled environment for your comfort and safety.
Why Lonerock vs. a Typical Ketamine Clinic
Unlike walk-in ketamine drips, every Lonerock patient gets a full psychiatric evaluation, a dedicated LCSW for preparation and integration, and a team trained at PRATI and Polaris and certified by ASKP3. Some treatments are insurance-covered; for those that aren't, we provide detailed documentation for out-of-network reimbursement. If you'd prefer an FDA-approved, often-insurance-covered option, see our Spravato® program.

|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Brief screening | Full psychiatric + medical evaluation first |
| Therapy | Optional or none | Dedicated LCSW-led preparation & integration (KAP) |
| If the first plan doesn't land | Repeats the same protocol | We adjust and iterate until we find what works |
| Credentials | Varies | PRATI- & Polaris-trained, ASKP3-certified prescribers |
| Insurance | Often cash-only | In-network options + we handle prior authorization |
| Scope | Ketamine only | Ketamine, Spravato®, psychiatry & primary care under one roof |
