Thrive IV (508-848-8089), a private clinic in Dartmouth, MA, has launched new clinical options for clients suffering from treatment-resistant depression, with proven success rates as high as 80%.
Though medications have been in common use for many years, for many patients, they are still ineffective. A new option recently launched by Thrive IV, using ketamine to help with treatment-resistant depression, has been shown to help as much as 80% of patients that were not adequately affected by standard treatment.

The newly added treatment option utilizes either ketamine by itself or in combination with vitamins and nutrients. The exact combination will vary for each patient, based on their individual needs and the personalized treatment plan created for them by the clinic’s ketamine expert, Dr. Michael Pellegrino.
Dr. Pellegrino has spent years studying ketamine and its effectiveness for patients with certain treatment-resistant medical conditions, such as depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Every treatment plan is designed after in-depth consultations and review by Dr. Pellegrino, with regular updates to ensure the most effective combination for each individual.
Though every treatment plan will differ slightly, a typical plan might involve up to six infusions over a period of several weeks, administered in the clinic under comfortable, supervised conditions. A standard treatment session can take approximately one hour, and patients are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing bring a blanket. A pair of noise cancelling headphones, eye shades and a playlist of positive peaceful music are all provided.
The Thrive IV clinic has found that most patients, after receiving their initial set of treatments, may have their other medication dosages significantly reduced while remaining effective. Some may even be able to be weaned off. Many patients continue to receive lower “maintenance doses” or “boosters” every few weeks or months, with adjustments made as necessary by Dr. Pellegrino.
One patient said in her Google review:, “Ketamine therapy helped me where traditional medicine had failed. I suffered for years from depression and trauma and Dr. Pellegrino has shown me how wonderful life can be. I no longer struggle every day, and I am eternally grateful to him and his staff for giving me a new lease on life.”
