Ketamine treatment
A small 2021 randomized controlled trial studied repeated IV ketamine in chronic PTSD. It is useful research, but does not establish long-term effectiveness for all patients or other administration routes. Ketamine treatment for PTSD is off-label; discuss established trauma-focused care and medication options with a qualified clinician.

When evaluating ketamine therapy, it is essential to distinguish between off-label treatments and FDA-approved medications. Intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and sublingual ketamine are provided off-label for mental health conditions. Because these are off-label, they are typically not covered by commercial insurance, meaning patients must rely on self-pay arrangements. In contrast, Spravato (esketamine) is FDA-approved specifically for certain types of treatment-resistant depression in adults. This approval means it may be covered by health insurance plans, though coverage varies widely and often requires an extensive prior authorization process.
Patients should always request a detailed, written estimate of all expected out-of-pocket costs before beginning any treatment protocol. Because therapy requires multiple sessions over a period of several weeks, total expenses can accumulate quickly. If you are traveling from Stony Brook to clinics in western Long Island or New York City, remember to factor in additional expenses such as train tickets, gas, tolls, or even overnight lodging if you prefer to avoid a long commute immediately following treatment. Patients must also be aware of the FDA warns patients and health care providers about potential risks associated with compounded ketamine products.
Comprehensive plan assessment is the critical first step in determining if ketamine therapy is appropriate. For those approved for Spravato, treatments must occur in a certified healthcare setting. Patients undergo at least two hours of clinical observation following administration to monitor for potential side effects. Strict safety protocols dictate that patients cannot drive until the day after treatment, following a restful sleep. A responsible adult must be available for pickup and safe transport home.
Traveling across Suffolk County or into the city can be complicated by long rural distances and dense traffic, especially during winter months when snow and ice affect road conditions. While telehealth appointments can support initial assessments and psychiatric follow-ups, they do not establish home treatment availability. Spravato is strictly monitored and never administered at home. Furthermore, while some clinicians prescribe other compounded ketamine formulations off-label for home use, these are not FDA-approved for psychiatric care, and the FDA has issued warnings regarding the risks of unsupervised administration without on-site monitoring.
If you or a loved one is experiencing a mental health crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. For immediate medical emergencies, dial 911.
The directory does not list clinics located physically in Stony Brook. However, nearby Long Island offices include NY Ketamine Infusions in Melville, which lists Ketamine treatment and Spravato on its website. Other directory options are located further west in New York City for those willing to commute.
No, you cannot travel alone. Patients must be discharged to the care of a responsible adult who will safely transport them home. Riding public transit unescorted after Spravato administration is not permitted due to strict monitoring and safety guidelines. A designated adult escort must accompany you.
No, IV ketamine is not FDA-approved for PTSD. It is sometimes prescribed off-label by clinicians for various psychiatric conditions. Spravato (esketamine) is the only FDA-approved formulation, and it is authorized specifically for certain types of treatment-resistant depression in adults under strict medical observation.
Treatment protocols usually involve multiple sessions administered over several weeks, followed by a maintenance phase. A thorough clinical assessment will determine the exact schedule. Because repeated visits are required, Stony Brook residents must carefully plan for the travel and time commitment involved for each appointment.
While some practitioners may prescribe sublingual compounded ketamine off-label for home use, these products are not FDA-approved for psychiatric care. Spravato is never dispensed for home administration. The FDA warns patients about the potential medical risks of using compounded ketamine formulations without direct, on-site clinical monitoring.
If you are facing a mental health emergency, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately by calling or texting 988. Help is available 24/7. For any acute physical or medical emergencies, dial 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency department right away.
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 Stony Brook 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.
