Ketamine Assisted Therapy Personal Retreats

​​Looking for ketamine therapy package options? Visit this page.

Experience psychedelic therapy with your own personal retreat. Through our clinical experience and valuable patient feedback, we've learned that allowing time for restoration and relaxation following a ketamine session greatly enhances the neuroplastic benefits of ketamine. We care most about offering a high-quality experience that is individualized for you.

By providing comfortable accommodations just above the clinic, we eliminate the need for you to rush and create a seamless transition from your journey to the start of integration. This is about ease.

Each retreat includes:

75 minute initial session to get to know, 50 minute preparation session, a 3 hour ketamine journey, and 50 minute integration session with Dr. Burger.  If you sign up for a 5 day retreat, you will have two 3 hour ketamine journeys and two integration sessions. You will be provided with healthy snacks post-ketamine journey and have access to guided meditation/use of sound vibrational therapy (optional).

Extra integrative psychiatry tools and recommendations based on your symptoms, history, and preferences, including supplement optimization, lifestyle recommendations, mind-body practices, or psychiatric medication optimization.

Concierge service for local recommendations including hikes, synergistic wellness services (laughter yoga, massage, reiki), attractions, and restaurants.

How We Are Different from 
Ketamine Clinics

We believe in providing personalized and exceptional care to our patients. To ensure this, we deliberately practice on a small-scale, allowing us to dedicate ample time to get to know you as an individual and work with you collaboratively.

We pride ourselves on offering appointments that are adequately spaced out, ensuring that you never feel rushed. Throughout your experience with us, you will work alongside Dr. Burger, who will be with you every step of the way.

As a low-volume clinic, we never compromise on quality and typically offer ketamine sessions no more than three times a week. Our retreat packages are designed to enhance your experience and include additional tools and high-quality additions.

Small-scale, personalized care

Our approach incorporates skilled mental health support, ensuring that you receive comprehensive care throughout your entire ketamine experience.

We view ketamine as a tool that can help open doors to further psychological work, and as such, we provide additional integration tools to ensure that your experience is both meaningful and transformative.

With Dr. Burger providing both medical and therapy aspects, we can customize dosing and tailor the style of ketamine work to your specific needs. This personalized approach allows us to fine-tune your experience and maximize the benefits of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Psychiatrist-Led
On-Site Physician

As the founder and medical director of Driftless Integrative Psychiatry, Dr. Erica Burger is the sole practitioner who will be present throughout your ketamine experience.

While medical emergencies related to ketamine use are rare, we prioritize safety by ensuring a physician is on-site at all times. We strongly advise against the use of ketamine outside of a medical office setting, as patient safety is our top priority.

Whole Person
Integrative Psychiatry

While we recognize ketamine as a valuable tool for our patients, we do not consider ourselves a ketamine clinic. Instead, we approach healing from a holistic perspective, incorporating various modalities to provide comprehensive care.

At our practice, we specialize in integrative psychiatry, offering a range of treatments that include psychotherapy, somatic therapy (ART), light osteopathic manipulation, medications, supplements, botanicals, mind-body skills, nutritional psychiatry, and lifestyle support.

You will be evaluated from a holistic perspective, and we will provide non-medication recommendations to help you utilize complementary strategies to ketamine. Our aim is to empower you with a range of tools to support your healing journey beyond your ketamine experience.
