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.

No, driving is strictly prohibited after receiving Spravato or IV ketamine. You must have a responsible adult provide transportation back to Ocean City. Furthermore, you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery until the day following your treatment, and only after you have had a restful night of sleep.
No. Spravato is an FDA-approved medication specifically indicated for certain types of treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder who exhibit acute suicidal ideation or behavior. It is not FDA-approved for treating chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Because intravenous (IV) ketamine is used off-label for psychiatric conditions, it is typically not covered by standard health insurance plans. Patients from the Eastern Shore usually pay out-of-pocket for these infusions. Always request a written estimate to understand the full financial commitment before beginning any off-label therapy.
Spravato carries risks of significant side effects, including sedation, dissociation, and sudden spikes in blood pressure. To ensure patient safety, the FDA requires that the medication be administered in a certified healthcare setting where medical personnel observe you for at least two hours after your dose.
Spravato is never administered at home. Some providers may prescribe off-label compounded ketamine for home use; however, these formulations lack FDA approval for psychiatric care. The FDA has issued warnings about potential severe safety risks associated with taking compounded ketamine products without direct, on-site clinical monitoring.
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 Ocean City 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.
