KETAMINE THERAPY FOR VETERANS & FIRST RESPONDERS

Military veterans and first responders carry burdens that most people will never fully understand. Combat trauma, operational stress, moral injury, and repeated exposure to crisis leave lasting marks — not because of weakness, but because of the extraordinary demands placed on those who serve.

At LUMUS Mind, we recognize that these mental health challenges are distinct. The hypervigilance that kept you alive in the field does not simply switch off when you come home. The images that replay after a critical incident do not fade on their own timeline. Standard treatments often fall short because they were not designed for what you have been through.

IV ketamine therapy offers a different path. By targeting the brain's glutamate system and promoting rapid neural plasticity, ketamine can provide relief where traditional medications have not — often within hours, not weeks.

Dr. Garcia is a double board-certified psychiatrist who understands the complexity of military and first responder mental health. This is not a one-size-fits-all clinic. Every treatment protocol is built around your specific history, your symptoms, and your goals.

At LUMUS, treatment is private and confidential. There are no group settings, no waiting rooms full of strangers, and no judgment. You receive care in a calm, controlled environment designed for focus and healing — the way it should be.

We also understand that asking for help is its own act of courage. Our team treats every patient with the respect and discretion that your service has earned.

VA insurance covers ketamine therapy for eligible veterans, making it one of the more reliable coverage options available for this treatment. If you are a veteran with VA benefits, ketamine infusion therapy may be covered as part of your mental health care.

We encourage all veterans to check with their VA benefits coordinator to confirm coverage details and any referral requirements. Our team is available to help navigate the process and answer questions about how to get started.

LUMUS Mind is located in Corona, California — centrally positioned in the Inland Empire to serve veterans and first responders from across the region. We are accessible to service members and their families from March Air Reserve Base, the Camp Pendleton corridor, Fort Irwin, and surrounding communities throughout Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Whether you are active duty, a veteran, a firefighter, a paramedic, or a law enforcement officer, LUMUS provides a dedicated space where your experience is understood and your recovery is the priority.
