At KetaMed, OCD treatment means more than symptoms management—it means restoring daily balance and confidence. We are a physician-led, veteran-owned clinic, and our team brings both clinical excellence and genuine empathy to every patient.
Our OCD care incorporates three ketamine delivery options—IV infusions, IM injections, and oral troches—all overseen by licensed medical providers. We tailor plans to your specific needs, history, and preferences, ensuring you’re treated with respect, expertise, and compassion.
Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves persistent, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) used to ease anxiety. Whether it’s intrusive mental loops, checking behaviors, repetitive counting, or contamination fears, OCD can monopolize your thoughts and disrupt your life.
It often leads to serious impacts on daily functioning:
While SSRIs and therapy (like ERP) help many, they aren’t effective for everyone. Some patients experience partial relief or plateau after months or years—this is where ketamine therapy can provide a breakthrough.
Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic now used off-label for psychiatric conditions, including OCD—especially in cases where other treatments fall short. It’s safe, fast-acting, and effective.
We offer three ketamine treatment options:
Your treatment type and plan will be personally designed to fit your symptom severity and life context.
Ketamine works by modulating NMDA receptors and boosting glutamate in the brain, which supports the development of new neural pathways. In OCD, this process helps “unstick” brain circuits that perpetuate obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior.
Unlike SSRIs, which can take weeks to show effects, ketamine often produces noticeable relief within hours to days. It doesn’t mask symptoms—it helps rewire the brain’s response to stress and anxiety, giving patients the mental space they need to engage more effectively in therapy and daily life.
We recognize OCD as a serious condition that affects every part of your day. Every step of your ketamine journey at KetaMed is personalized and transparent:

You come first. That’s our promise.
Ketamine therapy is not currently covered by insurance—but we aim to make access as clear and affordable as possible:
