What's the process like?
During your first visit, we’ll perform a consultation to review your overall health. Our experienced psychiatry team will guide you through a comprehensive mental health screening, ensuring that you receive the personalized care you need for your ketamine treatment.
Once you’ve completed the consultation, we’ll plan your infusion sessions. We require patients to organize transportation home from the treatment center, as driving is not allowed within the first several hours after the session. Patients are encouraged to invite a family member, friend, or spouse to accompany them to the treatment.
On the day of your session, you’ll meet with one of our healthcare providers who will explain the treatment process in detail within our state-of-the-art facility. You’ll be comfortably seated in a lounge chair and provided with headphones for music. Each infusion session typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes and is closely monitored by our psychiatric professionals. After your session is complete, you’ll be led to a recovery area with a spa-like atmosphere, where our medical staff will assess your condition before you go home.

From our founder:
After years of witnessing the lack of psychiatric options in the Clarksville area it became apparent to me I could not continue to watch the problem while knowing I could contribute to the solution. Patient after patient shared with me their frustration in finding local, quality psychiatric treatment.
“My mission in creating Novus Behavioral Health is two fold. Taking care of patients and taking care of health care providers. I believe each person has an inherent drive to contribute to a greater good. Creating a healthy work culture & fostering a supportive environment allows our team members to naturally achieve their personal goals of providing exceptional care to patients.
I promise you’ll never be treated like a number here.You will receive the individualized care you are seeking & you deserve.”
