Ketamine is used at home as frequently as propofol is, as in NEVER. There are ketamine clinics, where people receive periodic infusions when other methods of treating depression fail, and some people use nasal ketamine, which must be administered by a physician; the inhaler, which is sold at the pharmacy, has a single dose, so the doctor will know if you sneaked a dose beforehand.
He was using it recreationally; don't kid yourselves. Had he not been wealthy and able to spend $9 million of his own money on treatment programs, he would have died decades ago. I hope he is at peace now, because he definitely wasn't while he was here.
Ketamine is sold on the street and used at home. There are entire online forums about this. At there's even a medical service that will bring ketamine to your home (so it IS used at home, monitored by an RN, is how I understand it):
$125 per visit.
And a person can book online and get ketamine treatment at home. ChooseKetamine.
All of these programs allow a doctor to prescribe after an online visit. It's not the only Rx one can get online with an online doctor's visit. And these online visits can be as simple as a questionnaire or a text-chat. Some of them do not even require a video meeting (but the more reputable ones do...) These services really expanded during the pandemic.
Some of the programs require counseling sessions as well - the average cost is $125 per session, the initial RX is about $200. Obviously, not as cheap as getting it on the street - but for the well-heeled, it is easy to get and even easy to get more than one Rx. It's a very popular drug with lots of off-schedule uses.
Of course, one can also buy it on the street - I don't know how it gets on the street, but I have some ideas.
IMO.
