About Emerge Ketamine

Emerge Ketamine is a trusted provider of ketamine therapy in the Boston area, with state-of-the-art clinics conveniently located in Danvers and Woburn. We specialize in compassionate, innovative care for individuals facing mental health challenges and chronic pain.

Emerge was founded by board-certified emergency physicians Dr. Liam Mahony and Dr. Joseph Benedict. With extensive clinical experience using ketamine, they began Emerge to utilize the medication’s powerful benefits to improve the lives of patients.

We offer two primary treatments: intravenous (IV) ketamine infusions and Spravato, an FDA-approved form of ketamine administered as a nasal spray. Both are delivered following evidence-based protocols and adapted to meet each patient’s individual needs.

From the initial intake evaluation to your final ketamine infusion, our team is here to help you through the process of reclaiming your mental health.

Science-backed Benefits of Ketamine Therapy

Highly Effective

Many patients experience significant symptom reduction after completing a course of ketamine therapy, with relief often lasting up to a month. Studies show that around 30% of individuals with major depression achieve complete remission following treatment, meaning they no longer meet the criteria for the condition.

Provides Relief When Nothing Else Works

Ketamine can provide relief when other medications have failed to work. Over 50% of people with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) respond to ketamine in clinical studies .

I had my first treatment at Emerge Ketamine Woburn and it was fantastic. From the staff on the phones to Julia who explained and answered all of my questions about the process and what to expect. I had a wonderful experience and I will come back and write another review after a few weeks of treatment to see how I’m doing.

The doctors are sympathetic and the nurses are knowledgeable and kind. The whole environment feels like it was designed for healing and calm, making you feel safe while doing something new. I would recommend Emerge to anyone considering ketamine.
