The VA now covers ketamine therapy at 100% for Clarksville veterans.
Novus Behavioral Health is contracted with the VA to bring this much-needed resource to veterans. For service-connected disabled veterans with treatment-resistant depression, the full cost of ketamine infusion therapy is billed directly to the VA — nothing out of pocket.
Caring for veterans is our greatest passion.
We have treated hundreds of veterans in Clarksville struggling with their mental health. It is a personal mission of each of our team members to serve the men and women who have bravely served our country — and we are eager to do our part against the tragic epidemic of veteran suicide.
Veterans are 57% more likely to die by suicide than those who have not served. Most treatments for PTSD and depression take weeks to kick in and can carry hard side effects. Ketamine can relieve symptoms of depression within hours — and the VA's decision to cover infusions at 100% recognizes exactly that potential.
Novus is veteran owned and operated. Founded by an Air Force medic turned PA, with every team member holding a military affiliation. This isn't a program to us — it's personal.
My mission in creating Novus Behavioral Health is two-fold: taking care of patients and taking care of health care providers. I promise you'll never be treated like a number here. You will receive the individualized care you are seeking — and you deserve.
From referral to relief.
Start the referral — or let us
Ask your VA provider for a Community Care referral (RFS) to Novus, call the VA at 866-606-8198, or simply call us — we can now initiate referrals on your behalf.
Consultation & screening
We review your overall health and complete a comprehensive mental health screening to personalize your ketamine treatment.
Your infusion sessions
Seated in a lounge chair with headphones, monitored throughout each 45–60 minute session by our ACLS-certified RN. Arrange a ride home; bring someone you trust.
Recovery & follow-through
After each session you'll rest in our spa-like recovery area before heading home — and your care team tracks your progress across the full series.
Here's what some of them say.
“Quality of care for their patients is unbound. Advocates for the community as a whole, and constantly striving to find new ways to help the veteran community heal.”
“I have had numerous mental health professionals over the last couple of decades. Novus is a cut above the others — knowledgeable, insightful, empathetic, and easily accessible.”
“Going to Novus saved my life. I completed my journeys and feel 1000% better. Active or retired military is completely covered.”
