Ketamine Infusions for OCD
Find Relief from Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder with Cutting‑Edge Ketamine Therapy
Living in Queens and struggling with OCD? If traditional treatments haven’t provided the relief you need, consider ketamine infusion therapy—a fast-acting, science-backed option available at our Queens clinic.
How Does Ketamine Work for OCD?
Ketamine interacts with the brain’s glutamate system, a key player in the brain’s OCD mechanism.
Its effects include:
-
Reducing intensity and frequency of obsessions and urges
-
Enhancing mood and alleviating secondary anxiety or depression
-
Improving receptivity to therapy
-
Delivering relief within hours or days
-
Offering lasting benefits—often weeks or months after a treatment series
The Science Behind Ketamine for OCD
Using ketamine to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a promising and evolving approach. While it's considered a relatively new treatment option, clinical studies continue to build on early success stories—showing that ketamine can offer fast and sometimes dramatic relief from OCD symptoms.
Research suggests that even a single ketamine infusion can significantly reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors within hours. In one study, patients who received a low-dose IV infusion (0.5 mg/kg over 40 minutes) reported noticeable relief within 1 to 3 hours, with effects lasting up to 3 days.
These brief periods of clarity, even if short-lived, can offer a critical window into what “normal” feels like. That experience often serves as a turning point, helping patients re-engage in therapy with renewed hope and direction.
However, studies show that without continued support, symptoms typically return within 2–3 weeks. That’s why booster infusions—usually every few weeks—and ongoing therapy are essential for maintaining progress.
The most effective results come when ketamine treatment is combined with psychotherapy. For this reason, our Queens clinic recommends Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and traditional OCD-focused therapy in partnership with local mental health professionals. This combined approach helps extend the benefits of ketamine and build long-term coping strategies tailored to each individual.
