Syntonic's Intravenous Infusion Process
01
Initial Screening & Preparation
90 mins
Comprehensive Screening
An initial, non-invasive, screening process helps determine whether this therapeutic option would, presently, be the right one for you. One of our resident psychiatrists consult with you to review your medical and psychological history, medications, and current physical health.
We ensure collaborative care, working with existing treating professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes during your intervention at Syntonic.
Optional - Preparation & Intention-setting with a Psychologist
Preparation may support Intravenous Infusions by priming you for the physical and mental aspects of the experience.
We assist you in setting an intention/s for your infusion to serve as anchor and goal for the intervention.

Infusion Treatment Sessions
45-60 mins
Based on each individual’s needs | Our qualified medical professionals administer between 1-6 infusions, typically one week apart.
What to Expect from an Intravenous Infusion Treatment Session
The experience is characterised by major changes in how the body and world are perceived, often including a feeling of detachment from one's self or body. These changes are frequently accompanied by powerful, positive emotions like a sense of awe and deep peace.
A core feature is a shift in thought patterns, leading to, among others, an altered sense of time during the infusion.
What can you expect during an infusion treatment session?

Optional Therapy
3-4 days after each Intravenous Infusion Session
Therapy can support deepened and sustained neurophysiological benefits following a treatment session. Should you wish to include therapy, we will help you connect with a trained psychologist in our network to translate the insights gained from your infusions into more lasting behaviour change. You may also opt to complete this process with your existing therapist.
