Questions people often ask
Do you take insurance?
Not yet, but we're working on it & expect to accept most insurance soon. For now, Alara is a cash-pay practice — you pay directly for each visit & always know the cost up front. We can provide a superbill if you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer, though reimbursement is never guaranteed.
Where do you provide care?
We see patients by secure video across 41 states & Washington, DC. You'll need to be physically located in one of those states at the time of your appointment. Check the map to see whether we're available where you are & which services apply.
How do I book?
For now, the best way to start is to email the practice. Please don't include detailed health information, symptoms, or medications in your message — a secure intake is handled once we connect. Online booking is coming soon.
Is ketamine treatment safe?
Ketamine is used off-label for psychiatric conditions; it is not FDA-approved for the treatment of depression. Treatment is provided only after an evaluation & when it's clinically appropriate, with preparation, monitoring, & integration support built into the process. We'll review the risks & benefits with you before starting.
Do you treat opioid, kratom, or 7-OH dependence?
Maybe — it depends. We offer at-home, medically supervised support for opioid, kratom, & 7-OH dependence, including medication-assisted treatment where appropriate. Care is confidential & paced to what you can manage.
Can you prescribe weight-loss medication?
We offer medically supervised weight care, including GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate. It starts with an evaluation to make sure it's a safe & sensible fit for you.
