Physician-led, in-person ketamine treatment in Franklin, Michigan


The Drake Center provides physician-led ketamine treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, with careful medical screening, monitoring, and structured preparation and integration support. If you are comparing at-home programs with in-person care, this page outlines practical differences and how to choose the right setting.



The Drake Center and BetterU Care are two ketamine therapy providers that offer distinct treatment options for patients. Here at the Drake Center, we focus on in-person therapy, while BetterU Care leans towards a remote approach.


Key Differences:


  1. Treatment Approach: The Drake Center is dedicated to providing in-person ketamine therapy with a focus on reducing the number of treatments needed for long-term healing. BetterU Care offers at-home treatments, allowing patients to choose the most convenient option for their needs.

  2. Supervision and Care: At The Drake Center, all treatments are supervised by a medical doctor, ensuring that each session is closely monitored. Additionally, we work to focus on the root issue that’s causing you to feel how you’re feeling instead of going through the typical talk therapy approach. Remote care can be appropriate for some people, but it places more responsibility on the patient’s home environment and remote support systems. In-person care offers on-site medical monitoring and immediate assistance if unexpected discomfort or side effects occur.

  3. Treatment Philosophy: The Drake Center aims to minimize reliance on medication by promoting lasting recovery through the integration of art and virtual reality therapies.  BetterU Care takes a more flexible approach, providing both maintenance and recovery options based on individual preferences.
