Yes, pairing microdose ketamine treatment with telehealth (video / phone) therapy sessions is a great option. You can experience the benefits of psycholytic ketamine treatment from the comfort of home and experience breakthroughs in therapy through digital talk therapy.

The Joyous treatment costs $129/month (monthly subscription), with no long-term commitment. The Joyous for Therapists program, which connects your therapist with Joyous to help educate and train them to integrate ketamine into their sessions, is completely free! We want to help therapists understand the best practices and the latest research to guide them and guide our patients to make meaningful mental health improvements. Therapists do not get paid to join the program, and there is no incentive for them to recommend Joyous.

Yes, it is considered safe to take low-dose ketamine before a therapy session. Joyous ketamine treatment uses very low doses of ketamine, between 15-120mg, which produces a psycholytic state (not a psychedelic state). This is described as a light, calm experience with a sense of mental spaciousness. This is an incredibly powerful state to help you make significant mental health progress, from learning new skills to reframing experiences. Unlike high dose ketamine treatments, the low-dose ketamine session keeps patients fully coherent and functional, able to engage with their environments. It's important not to drive or operate heavy machinery within 1-2 hours after taking their medication. If therapy is in-person, we recommend having a friend or family member drive you home after your session. If your therapy session is via telehealth (video or phone), you can take your medication about 15 minutes before your session and stay home to relax afterward.

Our Joyous for Therapists program is currently only for patients who already have a therapist that they'd like to talk to about pairing their treatments. This program is completely free and is available for all Joyous patients who would like to connect their therapist with Joyous. If you're already a Joyous patient, you have access to at-home therapy based practices in the Be Joyous patient portal under Joyous Courses. We highly recommend watching the videos to help you get the most from your treatment. If you find a therapist in the future and would like to connect us with them to train them to integrate ketamine into their therapy sessions, you can share their information with us at a later date.

Current or new Joyous patients can start by clicking "connect your therapist" above and sharing your therapist information. You'll provide your therapist's email address and we'll reach out to them to see if they'd like to join our Joyous for Therapists training course. The course is completely free for them. We'll train them on how to integrate low-dose ketamine into their therapy sessions, including safety protocols, therapy guidance, and connect them with our network of licensed psychotherapists and researchers. If you would like us to share your information with them so they can track your progress on Joyous treatment, you can sign a release of information and once we verify their information, we can start sharing that with them and work together to help you reach your mental health goals!
