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.

Spravato is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray used alongside an oral antidepressant to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or actions. It is not approved to treat other psychiatric conditions like anxiety or PTSD.
Spravato is strictly regulated and must be administered in a certified healthcare setting; it is never taken at home. While some providers might prescribe compounded ketamine off-label for home use, it lacks FDA approval for psychiatric care and carries significant FDA warnings regarding safety without on-site medical monitoring.
Because you cannot drive after receiving Spravato or other in-clinic ketamine treatments, you must arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home. Patients generally rely on family members, friends, or specialized non-emergency medical transport services that operate throughout the coastal York County and greater Portland regions.
Insurance coverage depends heavily on the type of treatment. FDA-approved Spravato may be covered for eligible adults if strict prior authorization requirements are met. However, off-label treatments like intravenous or compounded sublingual ketamine are typically excluded by insurers, requiring patients to pay entirely out-of-pocket for these specific services.
Ketamine and Spravato therapies typically involve a series of appointments over several weeks. Coastal winter storms, ice, and heavy snow in Old Orchard Beach can make travel hazardous. Patients should proactively discuss weather-related cancellation and rescheduling policies with their clinical provider to ensure continuity of care during adverse conditions.
During a Spravato session, you will self-administer the nasal spray under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider. Afterward, you must remain at the certified clinic for a minimum of two hours of clinical observation to monitor for potential side effects, such as sedation or dissociation, before going home.
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 Old Orchard Beach 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.
