Quick Answer
Veterans Baltimore wellness patients at Vita Nova primarily use the clinic’s IV nutrient therapy, NAD+ IV therapy, and B12 injection services as complements to VA primary care and mental health treatment. Common indications: post-deployment recovery support, sleep and energy challenges, chronic pain adjunct, and antioxidant support. Vita Nova coordinates with treating clinicians and is not a substitute for VA mental health care. Book a consultation or call (443) 563-1059.

Baltimore is home to a substantial veteran population โ many connected to the VA Maryland Health Care System and Fort Meade. For veterans Baltimore wellness seekers researching complementary care alongside VA services, this guide covers what Vita Nova offers, how it integrates with primary care and mental health treatment, and what we don’t try to be.
In This Guide
Veterans Baltimore Wellness: What Vita Nova Is and Isn’t
Being upfront about scope is important for veterans Baltimore wellness seekers, especially given the gravity of mental health care decisions:
- What we are โ a physician-led wellness clinic offering IV nutrient therapy, NAD+ IV therapy, B12 and B-complex IM injections, and (with separate eligibility) ketamine infusion therapy and SPRAVATOยฎ treatments under REMS certification
- What we aren’t โ a VA facility, a substitute for VA primary care or mental health services, an emergency mental health resource. VA health care services remains the foundation for enrolled veterans
- How we work alongside โ we coordinate with treating clinicians, provide records on request, and never advise stopping VA medications without that conversation
- Mental health crisis โ the Veterans Crisis Line (dial 988 then press 1) is the right resource for acute mental health concerns, not a wellness clinic

Mental Health Care Coordination for Veterans Baltimore Wellness
For veterans considering Vita Nova’s broader mental health services (separate from IV wellness):

- SPRAVATOยฎ (esketamine) โ FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression under REMS certification. FDA SPRAVATO information

Frequently Asked Questions
Does VA coverage apply at Vita Nova for veterans Baltimore wellness services?
Wellness IV therapy typically isn’t covered by VA or commercial insurance. HSA/FSA dollars work for most patients per IRS Topic 502. For ketamine and SPRAVATO, coverage varies; we discuss specifics at consultation.
Can I use Vita Nova alongside my VA mental health treatment?
Yes, and we strongly prefer this. We coordinate with VA providers rather than working as a parallel or replacement track. Bring your provider’s contact information to consultation.
Will IV therapy help with PTSD?
IV nutrient therapy is wellness support, not a PTSD treatment. For PTSD specifically, evidence-based treatments (trauma-focused therapies, certain medications, and emerging options like ketamine and SPRAVATO under appropriate evaluation) are the foundation.
Are there veteran discounts?
Please ask at consultation. Vitality Circle ($99.99/month) is the most accessible structure for ongoing IV wellness support.
What if I’m having a mental health crisis?
Please reach out to the Veterans Crisis Line (988 then press 1, or text 838255) or your VA mental health team. Wellness clinics are not the right resource for acute crisis.
How do I learn about ketamine or SPRAVATO eligibility?
Book a consultation. We’ll review your treatment history, current providers, and walk through eligibility, evidence, and the decision context. We are LegitScript-certified and REMS-compliant.
