Ketamine Clinic Licensing by State

Ketamine licensing by state

Can you offer ketamine where you’re licensed?

Pick a state to see who is allowed to give the dose, who can own the practice, and what the licensing agency wants before you add ketamine. Every state links to the ketamine section of our residential, mental health inpatient and outpatient guides.

18 states covered so far, with 9 more in progress. Data as of October 6, 2026, drawn from the ketamine sections of our state licensing guides.

Pick a state (click on one)

Choose your Facility Type, then click a state to see whether ketamine fits that license and what the agency expects. With a Facility Type chosen, the map colors each state by that answer. Without one, it shows how each state treats ownership of a medical practice. Light blue states are being researched now. Each state also shows CPOM (corporate practice of medicine): Yes means state law bars anyone who isn’t a licensed physician or other medical professional from owning a medical practice.

This tool summarizes the ketamine sections of Continued Compliance, Inc.’s state licensing guides and is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal, medical, licensing, regulatory or compliance advice. Nursing board opinions, ownership rules and proposed regulations change, and a summary can’t capture every exception. This tool is provided “as is.” Continued Compliance, Inc. makes no warranty that this information is accurate, complete or current, and is not liable for any decision made or action taken based on it. Using it does not create a consulting, attorney-client or other professional relationship. Confirm requirements with the state licensing agency, the medical and nursing boards and qualified legal counsel before relying on them. Some citations in this tool could not be confirmed using two verification methods. Please consult the appropriate state agency for additional details, since ketamine is a rapidly developing method of treatment and its regulations change quickly. You may also contact us for more information or for help getting your ketamine services approved.
