What is the difference between IV clinics and at-home ketamine in NYC?
IV Ketamine clinics (like Nushama or Ember Health) require patients to travel to a facility, undergo treatment, and then commute home while in a sensitive neuroplastic state, often requiring a chaperone. At-home ketamine therapy (like Isha Health) allows patients to self-administer clinical-grade medication in their own bed, eliminating external stressors and the need for travel.
You’ve just finished a 60-minute ketamine infusion. You feel open, vulnerable, and deeply relaxed. Your brain is in a state of neuroplasticity—physically rewiring itself to form new, healthier pathways.
Then, you step out onto the street in Midtown Manhattan or Williamsburg.
Suddenly, you are navigating an Uber surge, dodging tourists, or squeezing onto a crowded L train. Sirens are blaring. The stress of the city rushes back in before your brain has had a chance to integrate the experience.
This is the hidden cost of IV clinics in New York. While the infusion itself may be therapeutic, the "re-entry" into the chaotic city environment can blunt the antidepressant effects of the treatment.
In psychedelic medicine, "Set" (your mindset) and "Setting" (your environment) are clinical variables, not just "vibes."
New Yorkers are efficiency-obsessed. Here is how the two models compare for a busy professional.

No, it is not recommended. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic. Even after the acute effects wear off (usually 40-60 minutes post-infusion), your reaction times, balance, and sensory processing are altered.

Most NYC clinics, such as Nushama or Ember Health, strictly require you to have a chaperone to sign you out.
Isha Health solves this. Because our safety protocols are designed for the home, you do not need a physical chaperone present if you pass our safety assessment. We provide virtual monitoring and safety guides, allowing you to heal on your own schedule—even late at night or on weekends.

Your healing shouldn't require a logistical miracle. If you are treating anxiety or depression, the last thing you need is the stress of New York City traffic immediately after your therapy.
Skip the commute. Heal at home.
