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.

Irmo spans Lexington and Richland counties; Lexington is this directory’s grouping, not an exclusive town boundary. For residents considering ketamine-related care, the listings offer Columbia comparisons rather than confirmed Irmo offices. They do not represent every available clinic or establish current patient availability. You can also compare the Lexington, West Columbia, and Columbia guides when organizing an assessment and follow-up.
Future Psych Solutions lists ketamine infusion treatment and Spravato nasal spray. Columbia Ketamine Clinic lists IV ketamine infusion therapy, while LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists Columbia lists Spravato treatment. Confirm the service at the selected address before scheduling. These regional comparisons are not driving-distance or travel-time estimates.
Ask for a licensed physician’s assessment that considers your diagnosis, medical history, medications, and prior treatment history. Arrange coordination with your existing prescriber or therapist so that responsibilities for follow-up are clear. Evidence differs by diagnosis; a treatment discussed for one condition should not be assumed appropriate for another. Ask how progress, adverse effects, and decisions about continuing treatment will be reviewed.
Ketamine is approved for anesthesia. Psychiatric IV, IM, and compounded ketamine use is off-label. Spravato is esketamine with specific FDA-approved adult depression indications, not blanket approval for psychiatric ketamine care. A directory listing cannot determine eligibility or promise a treatment outcome.

When comparing Columbia appointments from Irmo, request an itemized estimate covering assessment, medication, monitoring, psychotherapy if provided, maintenance visits, and transportation. Ask which charges apply even if the physician recommends against treatment. Compare the proposed course and follow-up costs rather than a single advertised session. Keep transport and a responsible adult’s availability in the household budget; neither is included automatically in a clinic quote.
IV and compounded ketamine are often self-pay. Spravato benefits, prior authorization, network participation, and cost sharing vary by plan and selected address. Ask both the office and insurer what documentation is needed and which charges remain yours. Do not assume Medicare or Medicaid coverage, or that approval for assessment means approval for medication.
The FDA warning on compounded ketamine addresses potential risks, including psychiatric use at home. A lower-cost home option is not interchangeable with supervised treatment, and a telehealth evaluation does not replace monitoring requirements.
Confirm the selected Columbia address, arrival instructions, expected visit length, and discharge policy before arranging travel. Ask the office for an individualized assessment and visit schedule before arranging travel. For Spravato, treatment requires a certified supervised setting and monitoring for at least two hours. The FDA label says not to drive until the next day after restful sleep. For other routes, follow clinician instructions and arrange responsible adult pickup.
Transit or rideshare alone is not automatically an acceptable escort plan. The SCDOT transit provider list can support research, but confirm routes, schedules, eligibility, and the clinic’s escort requirements independently. Allow for the entire visit rather than medication administration alone.
Ask who handles questions between visits and how your existing Irmo-area care team will receive updates. The BHDD mental health center directory lists centers and counties served; it does not establish that they provide ketamine. Because Irmo spans counties, check the applicable service area rather than relying on this page’s grouping.
This directory does not provide emergency intake. For crisis support, call or text 988; for an emergency, call 911.
The options are in Columbia, not confirmed Irmo offices. They are regional comparisons rather than a complete inventory of care. Confirm the selected address and current services directly, then compare travel arrangements and follow-up responsibilities before deciding whether to schedule an assessment.
Future Psych Solutions and LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists Columbia describe Spravato. Future Psych Solutions also describes ketamine infusion treatment, while Columbia Ketamine Clinic describes IV infusions. These descriptions do not establish your eligibility, current appointments, or services at another address; confirm those details with the office.
No. Irmo spans Lexington and Richland counties, and this page uses Lexington only as a directory grouping. Confirm county service areas directly when seeking community support. A community mental health referral can help organize existing care without implying that the referred center offers ketamine.
Prepare your medication list, relevant medical records, and a summary of prior treatments, including why they stopped or changed. For an Irmo resident seeing a Columbia clinician, also identify your existing prescriber or therapist and ask how records and follow-up recommendations will be shared.
No. Spravato instructions prohibit driving until the next day after restful sleep, and supervised monitoring lasts at least two hours. Arrange an office-approved transport and escort plan before treatment. A rideshare booking by itself does not establish that you meet the clinic’s discharge requirements.
Ask each Columbia office for the same categories: assessment, medication, monitoring, psychotherapy if provided, and maintenance. Add travel costs from Irmo separately. IV treatment is often self-pay, while Spravato coverage varies; compare your actual written financial responsibility rather than assuming one route will cost less.
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 Irmo 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.
