Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) traps you in cycles of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that standard therapies sometimes struggle to break.
At our New York ketamine infusion centers—conveniently located in Manhattan, Long Island, and Westchester—we leverage sub-anesthetic ketamine dosing to disrupt these cycles and promote rapid neural rewiring.
Many patients experience meaningful reductions in obsessions and compulsions within hours of their first infusion, a pace that traditional SSRIs or CBT may take weeks or months to achieve.
OCD is linked to overactivity in the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuit, where rigid thought patterns and compulsive urges loop endlessly. Ketamine, by blocking NMDA receptors, triggers a surge of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex and related networks.
This burst stimulates AMPA receptors and activates the mTOR pathway, fostering new synaptic connections that “reset” over-rigid circuitry. In effect, ketamine gives the brain a window of heightened plasticity—an opportunity to break free from entrenched OCD patterns.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation: we’ll review your OCD history, assess your medical profile, and set clear goals. On infusion days, you’ll relax in a private suite while ketamine drips intravenously over 40 minutes.
Throughout the session and for an hour afterward, our clinicians monitor your vital signs and comfort level. Whether you choose our chic Manhattan loft overlooking the skyline, our peaceful Long Island facility, or our state-of-the-art Westchester clinic, you’ll receive the same rigorous protocols and compassionate support.
Ideal candidates are adults whose symptoms have remained stubborn despite at least two adequate trials of SSRIs or CBT, or those whose compulsions cause serious functional impairment.
Because ketamine can transiently raise blood pressure and produce mild dissociation, we carefully screen cardiovascular health and other factors.
Under medical supervision, the relief—often a 30–50% reduction in symptom severity after one or two infusions—can be transformative.
Most patients start with an induction phase of twice-weekly infusions for three to four weeks. As you notice improvement, we taper to maintenance sessions every three to six weeks, personalized to your response.
To solidify gains, we strongly recommend pairing ketamine with ERP (exposure and response prevention) or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, harnessing that period of neural flexibility to learn new coping strategies and diminish relapse risk.
Under our protocols, temporary increases in heart rate, mild nausea, or a brief “floating” sensation are expected and managed immediately.
Recreational high-dose misuse carries bladder and cognitive risks, but our clinical dosing remains conservative and supported by close follow-up.
Our multidisciplinary teams in NYC, Long Island, and Westchester tailor every plan to your unique needs, ensuring maximum benefit with minimal risk.

Most patients notice a measurable drop in intrusive thoughts and ritual urges within two to four hours of their first infusion—much faster than medications that may take months to help.
Individual responses vary, but many experience relief for one to three weeks after a single infusion. A structured induction of twice-weekly infusions followed by maintenance sessions helps sustain symptom reduction.
At clinical doses, some mild dissociation or a dream-like feeling can occur, but you remain lucid and able to communicate. Our team monitors you closely throughout and after each session.
Ketamine is typically used alongside existing therapies rather than as a sole treatment. Over time, as you and your clinician assess your progress, medication adjustments may be discussed.
Yes. We serve all of New York—Manhattan, Long Island, and Westchester—with flexible scheduling and telehealth follow-ups. Many patients travel to our clinics for inductions and then return for as-needed maintenance.
