Approach

HIVE BIO follows a phased approach beginning with thorough medical and psychiatric assessments to determine suitability and safety for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. A three-week online preparation with a licensed psychotherapist sets therapeutic intentions and readies clients for the retreat experience.

The on-site retreat in Malta provides 3–4 clinician-guided ketamine sessions delivered at lower, therapeutic doses as part of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP). Sessions are accompanied by psychotherapeutic support, music, and practices such as breathing and meditation to facilitate the therapeutic process.

Following the retreat, a three-week programme of integration sessions with a psychotherapist helps clients process insights from the experience and apply them in daily life to support sustained improvement.

Education and Training

The team comprises licensed psychotherapists, physicians, and expert clinicians who adhere to standardised safety protocols. Clinical staff perform medical and psychiatric evaluations and follow established procedures for safe ketamine administration and monitoring.

Support

Clinical oversight is provided throughout assessment, preparation, on-site sessions, and integration. Integration therapy and ongoing psychotherapeutic support are central to the model, with follow-up online sessions designed to consolidate therapeutic gains.

HIVE BIO also describes a compassionate access programme to provide low-cost or no-cost care for community patients in need. Safety protocols and sustainability practices are emphasised as part of service delivery.
