Ketamine treatment
Ketamine is not FDA-approved specifically for OCD. Research is preliminary, and a response to ketamine in depression does not establish that it treats OCD. Ask a clinician about exposure and response prevention, medication and the evidence and risks for any off-label option.

Following a Spravato session, patients are required to have a responsible adult drive them home. You cannot operate a vehicle until the next day after a restful sleep. Albany residents should plan their rides in advance, factoring in local Capital Region traffic and potential winter weather conditions.
IV ketamine is an off-label treatment for mental health conditions, meaning it is not FDA-approved for psychiatric use. Consequently, it is typically excluded from standard health insurance coverage. Patients generally pay out-of-pocket and should request a comprehensive written estimate before beginning a self-pay treatment plan.
Ketamine and Spravato therapies require an intensive initial phase with multiple weekly appointments. Albany's winter weather, which often includes significant snow and ice storms, can complicate travel to and from the clinic. Patients must proactively plan safe transportation and coordinate with their clinic regarding potential weather-related scheduling adjustments.
No, Spravato cannot be administered at home under any circumstances. It is strictly regulated and must be given in a certified healthcare setting. Patients must be monitored by healthcare professionals for at least two hours after receiving the nasal spray to watch for potential side effects.
Spravato is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray indicated for specific types of adult depression and is administered under direct clinical supervision. Compounded ketamine (IV, IM, or oral) is used off-label. The FDA has warned about the risks of using compounded ketamine without on-site medical monitoring.
If you or a loved one is in immediate distress, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 to connect with trained counselors 24/7. In the event of an urgent medical or safety emergency, dial 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.
Costs, coverage & aftercare
IV, IM and compounded ketamine for psychiatric conditions are off-label; many programs are self-pay. Ask about assessment, medication, administration, monitoring, therapy and maintenance charges separately. We do not assume a statewide price.
Spravato is FDA-approved esketamine, not the same as ketamine infusions. Coverage is not guaranteed. Check eligibility, prior authorization, network status, drug and visit charges, deductibles and copays with your insurer and clinic.
Spravato requires a certified healthcare setting and monitoring for at least two hours. Arrange transport home; do not drive until the next day after restful sleep. For other ketamine treatments, follow your clinician's instructions. Follow-up and maintenance depend on response and tolerability.
Ask who manages your medications, how your usual clinician will receive updates, and whom to contact between visits. Neither a shortage designation nor local depression statistics show that ketamine is appropriate or effective for you. Consult a licensed physician.
Use these questions when you call or book a consultation with any Albany provider.
Ask whether a physician, psychiatrist or anesthesiologist oversees each session and who you can reach afterward.
A good clinic reviews your history, medications, blood pressure and past treatments before recommending ketamine.
Look for continuous vital-sign monitoring and a calm, private recovery space.
IV infusions, Spravato® nasal spray, IM or sublingual options suit different goals and budgets.
Ask how the clinic coordinates with your therapist or offers integration support between sessions.
Request a written estimate for the first series and any maintenance sessions before you start.
