Breaking Free: Why Our Ketamine Therapy Program Is More Cost-Effective Than IV Centers Relying on Boosters

Writer's picture: thedrakecenterthedrakecenter

When it comes to ketamine therapy, patients often face two very different approaches: short-term transformative ketamine therapy programs and the more common IV infusion models that rely heavily on regular booster sessions. While both aim to address conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, the financial and emotional burdens of these approaches can vary widely.

At The Drake Center for Transformative Healing, a Michigan-based clinic,, our program prioritizes lasting transformation over dependency. Here’s how our model compares to the booster-reliant system, and why our comprehensive care is a better value for your investment. Imagine breaking free from depression or anxiety and reclaiming joy in your life. At The Drake Center, we’re here to make that a reality.

The True Cost of Ketamine Therapy

Our Program at The Drake Center

We’ve designed a program that’s comprehensive, efficient, and cost-effective:

  • Intake and Preparation Session: Included in the package.

  • 6 Ketamine Treatments: Administered in a safe, clinical environment.

  • 6 Integration Sessions: Tailored to help you process and maximize your ketamine experience.

  • Total Cost: $5,000

This package includes everything you need to start and sustain your healing journey: preparation, ketamine treatments, and integration sessions to help you make the most of your experience. We also focus on minimizing booster dependency through our holistic approach.

IV Infusion Centers: A Recurring Expense

Most IV infusion centers charge between $400 and $800 per session, making ketamine infusion cost a significant factor to consider. While their initial treatment packages might seem comparable, the costs can skyrocket when you factor in weekly or monthly boosters:

  • Weekly Boosters (52/year): $20,800–$41,600 annually

  • Monthly Boosters (12/year): $4,800–$9,600 annually

Even without boosters, these clinics often don’t include integration therapy, leaving patients to navigate the emotional and psychological impact on their own. At $200–$500 per therapy session, the costs add up fast.

Why Our Program Is the Better Choice

1. Comprehensive Ketamine Therapy Benefits for Sustainable Healing

Our program includes intake, ketamine treatments, and integration sessions in one package. Many IV centers focus only on the infusion, leaving you to navigate the emotional and psychological impact on your own.

With our integrated approach, you’ll benefit from:

  • Preparation sessions to set your goals and align your treatment with your personal needs.

  • Integration sessions to process your experience and turn insights into lasting change.





2. Minimal Reliance on Boosters

Unlike IV centers that encourage ongoing boosters, our program is designed for short-term ketamine use with long-term gains. While boosters may occasionally be necessary, our integration-focused model reduces their frequency and reliance.

3. Cost-Effective and Transparent Pricing

At $5,000 for the entire program, our cost is significantly lower than a year of monthly boosters at most IV centers. With us, you know exactly what you’re paying for: a clear path to healing without hidden fees or recurring costs.

4. Patient Convenience

Frequent clinic visits for boosters can be disruptive and exhausting. Our program condenses treatment into a manageable timeframe, so you can focus on living your life instead of scheduling your next session.

The Transformative Difference

At The Drake Center, we believe that true healing is about more than just the infusion. Our Way of the Butterfly paradigm combines Michigan ketamine therapy with mindfulness, integration, and creative modalities to support deep and lasting change.
