For Providers
REASONS TO REFER BRIDGEWAY
At Bridgeway, we only work with patients who are under the care of at least one licensed mental healthcare provider (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, mental health counselor). We believe IV ketamine is a complement to, not a replacement for, a broader mental health plan.
With consent from the patient, we will provide periodic updates to keep everyone on the same page.
- Collaborative Care Careful patient screening by licensed mental health professionals, fast referrals, detailed progress reports, and collaborative care that enhances your treatment.
