There is another clinic just outside of Toronto in Mississauga that opened in, I think, 2018 https://www.crtce.com/ . I'm not sure they include psychotherapy in their treatment protocol. Their page https://www.crtce.com/iv-ketamine-infusion-therapy/ explains the hypotheses of how ketamine may be working for depression (when it does, it apparently works very rapidly). I've done just a little investigating into both clinics - a course of treatments is expensive e.g. go to https://www.fieldtriphealth.com/faq and scroll down to "How much does the treatment cost". It is not covered by the Provincial Health Insurance. I haven't found much research on rates of response and remission and how long it lasts or if you have to periodically have follow-up treatments.
Would be great to hear from people who have tried it, especially long term reports.
