Quick Answer

NY Ketamine Infusions offers specialized mental health treatment in New York City and Long Island, with a focus on medically supervised IV ketamine and SPRAVATO® for appropriately screened patients. Conditions evaluated include depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, bipolar depression, OCD, PTSD and alcohol dependence.

Individualized Treatment

Mental Health Care Starts With Understanding the Condition

Mental health conditions can affect mood, concentration, sleep, relationships, work and everyday functioning. They can also overlap. Someone experiencing depression, for example, may also have significant anxiety, trauma-related symptoms or another condition that influences treatment decisions.

Treatment at NY Ketamine Infusions begins with an individual evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. Our team reviews symptoms, diagnosis, medical history, medications, previous treatments and treatment goals before discussing appropriate options.

How Ketamine Works For Mental Health Treatment At Ny Ketamine Infusions
The Science Behind Treatment

How Does Ketamine Work?

Ketamine works differently from conventional antidepressants. Its antidepressant effects involve the brain’s glutamate signaling system, including NMDA and AMPA receptors and downstream pathways associated with synaptic plasticity.

By altering glutamate signaling, ketamine may help engage processes involved in forming and strengthening connections between brain cells. This different biological pathway is one reason researchers have studied ketamine for people with difficult-to-treat depression.

Response varies, and ketamine is not appropriate for everyone. Treatment at NY Ketamine Infusions is medically supervised and begins with individual screening.

The Right Level of Care Matters

Specialized Treatment Begins With Appropriate Screening

NY Ketamine Infusions focuses on specialized medically supervised treatment rather than every form of mental health care. Some patients may also benefit from ongoing treatment with a psychiatrist, therapist, primary care provider, addiction specialist or another healthcare professional.

NIMH describes depression care as potentially including psychotherapy, medication and other interventions depending on individual needs. Read the NIMH overview of depression treatment.

A Note About Alcohol Dependence

Alcohol use disorder can range from mild to severe. Treatment may involve behavioral therapy, medications and other medical or addiction services. NIAAA describes AUD as a spectrum disorder and notes that evidence-based treatment can include behavioral therapies, medications or both.

  • Clinical screening is required.
  • Withdrawal risk must be considered.
  • Ketamine is not a substitute for emergency detoxification.
  • Additional addiction treatment may be recommended.

Your Treatment Experience

What to Expect During Treatment

Knowing what to expect can make your first treatment feel more comfortable. Explore each stage of the experience, from arriving at NY Ketamine Institute through the hours and days after treatment.

Step 01

Arrival

Getting Comfortable

Your Visit Begins With You

Your first appointment includes a consultation so your physician can review your medical and mental health history, answer your questions, and determine an appropriate starting dose.

When it is time for your infusion, a nurse will bring you to a comfortable, private treatment room. You can remain in your street clothes, and a family member or friend may stay with you if you choose.

✓ Your treatment is designed around privacy, comfort and individualized care.
Step 02

Procedure

Carefully Monitored

The Infusion Process

We begin by checking your vital signs. A small IV is then placed in a vein in your arm, wrist or hand so your prescribed dose of ketamine can be administered directly into your bloodstream.

Throughout treatment, our clinical team monitors your blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and response to the medication. The infusion generally lasts about 60 minutes for mood-disorder treatment.

✓ Dimmable lighting, Wi-Fi and your own music or headphones can help create a calm treatment environment.
Step 03

Experience

Relaxed & Aware

What Treatment May Feel Like

The effects of ketamine typically begin within minutes of starting the infusion. At the therapeutic doses used for mood disorders, the experience is generally much milder than the effects associated with anesthetic doses.

Many patients describe feeling deeply relaxed. You remain conscious and aware of your surroundings, and patients who have someone with them are generally able to communicate during treatment.

✓ Many patients choose to sit quietly and listen to music throughout the infusion.
Step 04

Sensation

Individual Experience

Sensations Can Feel Different

Some patients experience a temporary dissociative sensation during treatment. This may feel like a sense of separation from your body or surroundings while you remain relaxed and monitored.

The experience varies from person to person. Occasionally, patients—particularly those who begin treatment feeling very anxious—may experience brief moments of uneasiness.

✓ Your clinical team remains available and monitors you throughout the entire infusion.
Step 05

After Treatment

Moving Forward

How Will You Feel After Receiving Treatment?

Every patient's response is different. Some people may begin to notice improvement relatively quickly, while for others changes may emerge more gradually over several days or treatments.

After the infusion ends, you can remain comfortably in the treatment room while the immediate medication effects wear off. Your care team will guide you through the recovery period and your next steps.

✓ Response to treatment varies, and your progress is evaluated individually throughout your treatment course.
