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.

The Mood Center lists IV ketamine, IM ketamine, Spravato, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy on its official website. This office is listed in Columbia, Maryland.
In contrast, intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and sublingual ketamine are prescribed off-label for psychiatric conditions. These treatments are usually self-pay, meaning patients must cover the costs out-of-pocket. Clinics typically require payment at or before the time of service.
While telehealth is useful for initial consultations and follow-up assessments, it does not establish home treatment availability. Spravato is never administered at home. Some clinicians prescribe off-label compounded ketamine for home use, but these formulations are not FDA-approved for psychiatric care, and the FDA has issued warnings about the risks of use without direct on-site monitoring.
While dedicated clinics may not operate directly in Catonsville, residents can access Spravato at Springs Health LLC in nearby Columbia. Additional services, including IV and IM ketamine therapies, are available at The Mood Center in Annapolis and various specialized clinics located in the Bethesda area.
Spravato is FDA-approved for specific adult depression indications, making it potentially eligible for insurance coverage. However, policies vary among providers, and coverage is never guaranteed. Patients usually need to complete a prior authorization process and provide clinical documentation of treatment-resistant depression before receiving approval.
Spravato must be administered in a certified healthcare setting and is never permitted for home use. While some clinicians prescribe off-label compounded ketamine for home administration, the FDA warns against this practice due to potential safety risks and the lack of clinical monitoring outside a medical facility.
Ketamine and Spravato therapies require strict adherence to a schedule of repeated visits. Winter snow, ice, and severe thunderstorms in Baltimore County can cause hazardous driving conditions. Patients should plan their transportation carefully, ensuring they have a reliable adult driver who can navigate these potential weather disruptions safely.
Yes, a reliable driver is mandatory. The medications used in these therapies cause significant impairment and sedation. Following a Spravato or ketamine session, you will be monitored for at least two hours. Afterward, a responsible adult must drive you home, and you cannot drive until the following day.
Intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and sublingual ketamine are not FDA-approved for psychiatric conditions like depression or anxiety. They are administered off-label. Spravato (esketamine) is the only formulation that holds FDA approval specifically for certain types of adult depression. Patients should discuss the differences with their provider.
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 Catonsville 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.
