We focus on patients for whom traditional medications and talk therapy alone have not provided enough relief, and we deliver advanced, evidence-based treatments in calm, unhurried settings. Our four guiding principles: 1. **Medically supervised care.** Every treatment is delivered or directly overseen by board-certified clinicians with advanced training in psychiatric, anesthesia, and emergency medicine. 2. **Coordination, not replacement.** With your written permission, we collaborate with your existing therapist, psychiatrist, and primary care doctor so the whole care team stays aligned. 3. **Considered settings.** Suites are small, private, and quiet by design. We would rather operate a handful of considered clinics than scale our way into anonymity. 4. **Honest, written estimates.** We give every patient a clear, written cost estimate before they commit to anything. --- ## How It Works The patient journey at Renue is a clear, four-step handoff from first call to follow-up. 1. **Free consultation.** A 15-minute call with our intake team to understand what you have tried, what you are looking for, and whether our treatments are likely to help. No commitment. 2. **Clinical evaluation.** A 60 to 90 minute appointment with a Renue clinician. We review history, current medications, prior treatments, and goals. You leave with a written plan and a cost estimate. 3. **Treatment series.** IV ketamine induction (typically six sessions over two to three weeks), Spravato® per FDA protocol (twice weekly, then weekly, then every one to two weeks), or KAP (preparation, medicine sessions, integration). 4. **Maintenance and integration.** Ongoing support tailored to your response, coordinated with your existing care team. --- ## Treatments ### IV Ketamine Therapy IV ketamine therapy is a medically supervised infusion of low-dose ketamine delivered through an intravenous line over about 40 minutes. At sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine acts on NMDA receptors and rapidly promotes synaptic plasticity, which is associated with relief from depression, PTSD, and chronic suicidal thoughts often within hours to days. - **Indications:** treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder, PTSD, generalized and social anxiety, OCD, suicidal ideation. - **Typical course:** six infusions over two to three weeks (induction), then maintenance every two to six weeks based on response. - **Visit length:** about 90 minutes total (check-in, 40-minute infusion, recovery). - **Response rates:** roughly 50 to 70 percent across a full induction series in published treatment-resistant depression studies. - **Cost:** typically $450 to $700 per infusion; not usually covered by insurance, financing available. ### Spravato® (Esketamine) Spravato® is an FDA-approved nasal spray containing esketamine, the S-enantiomer of ketamine. It is approved for treatment-resistant depression and for major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation. Spravato® is delivered only in REMS-certified clinics under direct medical observation. - **Indications (on-label):** treatment-resistant depression, MDD with acute suicidal ideation. - **Typical course:** twice weekly for four weeks, then once weekly for four weeks, then every one to two weeks for maintenance. - **Visit length:** about two and a half hours total (self-administered nasal spray plus a two-hour observation window). - **Insurance:** frequently covered by commercial insurance, Medicare, and many Medicaid plans. Our team handles benefits verification and prior authorization. - **Driving:** patients may not drive on the day of treatment. ### Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) KAP combines low-dose ketamine with structured psychotherapy. A therapist prepares you in advance, sits with you during the medicine session, and guides integration sessions afterward. - **Indications:** PTSD, complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, grief, end-of-life distress, stuck patterns in long-term therapy. - **Structure:** preparation session(s), medicine session(s), and integration session(s) held together by one therapeutic relationship. - **Session length:** medicine sessions run two to three hours; preparation and integration sessions are 50 to 75 minutes. - **Best for:** patients who want intentional psychological work alongside the biological effects of the medicine. --- ## Conditions We Treat - **Depression** — major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar depression. - **Anxiety** — generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder. - **PTSD** — post-traumatic stress disorder and complex trauma. - **OCD** — obsessive-compulsive disorder. - **Postpartum Depression** — perinatal and postpartum mood disorders. - **Chronic Pain** — pain syndromes with a significant depression or trauma component. - **Substance Use** — co-occurring substance use disorders alongside primary mood or trauma diagnoses. - **Suicidal Ideation** — chronic or acute suicidal thoughts in patients otherwise medically stable. If you are in immediate crisis, call 911. If you are in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. --- ## Locations ### New Hyde Park, NY (Long Island, Nassau County) - Address: 1 Hollow Lane, Suite 308, New Hyde Park, NY 11042 - Phone: (516) 266-2339 - Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. - Parking: free on-site - Serves: Long Island, Queens, and the greater NYC metro ### Paramus, NJ (Bergen County) - Address: 6 Forest Avenue, Suite 202, Paramus, NJ 07652 - Phone: (551) 212-5411 - Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. - Parking: covered parking available - Serves: Bergen, Passaic, and Rockland counties ### Crestview, FL (Florida Panhandle, Okaloosa County) — Opening Soon - Currently accepting waitlist - Will serve the Emerald Coast and surrounding communities --- ## Financing - IV ketamine and KAP are typically out-of-pocket and not covered by insurance.

Spravato® has FDA-defined eligibility criteria assessed during your evaluation. **Q: Will Renue replace my current therapist or psychiatrist?** A: Almost never. We coordinate with your existing providers. ### IV Ketamine **Q: How quickly does ketamine work for depression?** A: Many patients describe a meaningful shift within 24 to 72 hours of their first or second infusion. Response rates of 50 to 70 percent are reported across full induction series in published treatment-resistant depression studies. **Q: What does a typical course look like?** A: Six infusions over two to three weeks, followed by individualized maintenance every two to six weeks. **Q: Is ketamine therapy safe?** A: At sub-anesthetic doses with full vital-sign monitoring, low-dose ketamine has a strong safety record. Common short-term effects (mild dissociation, nausea, transient blood pressure rise) resolve quickly. **Q: Will I be conscious during the infusion?** A: Yes. Therapeutic ketamine is not anesthesia. Patients remain awake, breathing on their own, in a calm dreamlike state. **Q: Is ketamine addictive?** A: At the low, infrequent clinical doses used at Renue, addictive potential is very low. Medication is administered only at the clinic and is never sent home. ### Spravato® **Q: How is Spravato® different from IV ketamine?** A: Spravato® is FDA-approved on-label for treatment-resistant depression, often insurance-covered, and delivered as a nasal spray under REMS observation. **Q: Is Spravato® covered by insurance?** A: Frequently yes, including commercial plans, Medicare, and many Medicaid plans. We verify benefits and handle prior authorization. **Q: How long does treatment last?** A: Twice weekly for four weeks, then once weekly for four weeks, then every one to two weeks for maintenance. **Q: What are the side effects?** A: Dissociation, dizziness, sedation, nausea, mild blood pressure elevation. Effects usually resolve within the two-hour observation window. ### Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy **Q: How is KAP different from a standard infusion?** A: KAP adds intentional psychotherapy on either side of the medicine session — preparation before, support during, and integration after. **Q: Who is a good candidate?** A: Patients with PTSD, complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, grief, end-of-life distress, or stuck patterns in long-term therapy. **Q: How long is a session?** A: Two to three hours for the medicine session; 50 to 75 minutes for preparation and integration sessions. ### Cost, Insurance, and Logistics **Q: How much does ketamine therapy cost?** A: IV infusions typically $450 to $700 each; KAP varies with therapist time and number of sessions. Spravato® is usually insurance-covered. **Q: Do you offer financing?** A: Yes, through CareCredit, Advance Care Card, and similar partners, often with 0 percent promotional periods. **Q: Do you accept HSA and FSA?** A: Yes, with itemized receipts and appropriate medical codes. **Q: How long is each visit?** A: About 90 minutes for IV ketamine, two and a half hours for Spravato®, two to three hours for a KAP medicine session, 60 to 90 minutes for the initial evaluation. **Q: Can I drive home?** A: No. Patients may not drive on the day of any ketamine or Spravato® session. Plan for a ride or rideshare. **Q: What should I do to prepare?** A: Light meal at least two hours before, hydrate well, comfortable layered clothing, arranged ride home, no alcohol or recreational substances for 24 hours before and after. **Q: What if I take other psychiatric medications?** A: Most are compatible. Benzodiazepines and lamotrigine can blunt response and may need adjustment on treatment days; we coordinate any changes with your prescriber. --- ## Contact - New Hyde Park, NY clinic: (516) 266-2339 - Paramus, NJ clinic: (551) 212-5411 - Website: https://renuewellness.com - Consultation requests: /contact Information on this site is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for medical advice.
