Traditional antidepressants primarily affect serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine. Ketamine primarily works on the glutamate system by blocking NMDA receptors. This can lead to increased neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections.

Because of this different pathway, some people notice shifts more quickly than with standard medications.

Sessions take place in a calm, private setting under professional monitoring. Fully guided sessions are available for those who prefer additional support. Comfort and safety remain priorities throughout.

Every plan is individualized. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether this approach may be appropriate. As a locally owned practice, we focus on thoughtful, clinically supervised care in both English and Spanish.

Rewired Ketamine is based in Aventura and serves Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and the greater South Florida community.
