Ketamine treatment
Ketamine has been studied for treatment-resistant depression. A 2023 randomized trial compared IV ketamine with ECT in adults with nonpsychotic treatment-resistant major depression; its findings do not apply automatically to psychotic depression, every patient or every route. FDA-approved Spravato is esketamine, a different medication and administration program.

Furthermore, patients should be aware of safety guidelines regarding compounded formulations. The FDA has issued alerts regarding certain off-label practices; patients are advised to review the FDA warning on compounded ketamine products. Understanding these distinctions helps individuals navigate both the financial and clinical realities of their available treatment pathways.
In any psychiatric emergency, immediate help is available. Contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or call 911 for urgent medical assistance.
Astoria has robust local medical services, but dedicated ketamine or Spravato clinics are often situated in nearby Manhattan. Clinics like Keta Medical Center operate offices in New York. Patients from Astoria frequently travel across the East River to access these specialized facilities for their ongoing treatment protocols.
You may use the subway or a rideshare service, but safety protocols mandate that you cannot travel entirely alone. Spravato regulations require a responsible adult escort to accompany you home after the mandatory two-hour clinical observation period, as you cannot drive or navigate safely unsupervised.
Intravenous (IV) ketamine is generally administered off-label for psychiatric conditions and is typically not covered by standard insurance plans, making it a self-pay treatment. In contrast, FDA-approved Spravato may be eligible for coverage depending on your specific health plan and successful prior authorization.
A Spravato session involves administering the nasal spray under direct medical supervision in a certified clinical setting. After administration, patients must remain on-site for a minimum two-hour observation period to monitor for potential side effects, followed by a coordinated ride home with a responsible adult.
Telehealth can be highly useful for initial psychiatric assessments and follow-up appointments. However, Spravato is strictly never dispensed for home use. While some providers may prescribe off-label compounded ketamine remotely, the FDA strongly warns against utilizing these products without direct on-site clinical supervision due to potential safety risks.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency, seek immediate assistance. You can contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting [988](tel:988) for 24/7 support. In cases requiring urgent medical intervention, dial [911](tel:911) or proceed 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 Astoria 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.
