How Can I Find Spravato Treatment Near Me To Treat My Depression?

If you’ve struggled with depression that hasn’t responded to other treatments, you might be wondering: How do I find Spravato treatment near me? In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know—from how Spravato works to what to expect during treatment, how to find a certified center, and how to make it affordable.

What Is Spravato and Who Is It For?

Spravato® (esketamine) is the only FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It is also approved for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicidal thoughts. It’s typically used when traditional antidepressants haven’t worked.

How Does Spravato Work in the Brain?

Unlike SSRIs, Spravato doesn't simply increase neurotransmitter levels. Instead, it targets the NMDA receptor and boosts neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to form new connections—helping you feel relief faster. Research shows that it begins enhancing these connections within just hours of administration.

What to Expect During a Spravato Treatment Session

At Axis Integrated Mental Health, patients relax in private rooms with zero-gravity chairs, blankets, and eye masks. The medication is self-administered under clinical supervision. Vitals are monitored throughout the two-hour visit. Most patients begin with twice-weekly visits, tapering down over time.

How Long Is the Treatment Schedule for Spravato?

  • Weeks 1–4: Twice per week

  • Weeks 5–8: Once per week

  • After Week 8: Maintenance varies—typically once every 2 to 4 weeks

Your provider will tailor this schedule based on your response and needs.

Spravato Treatment Side Effects: What You Should Know

Common side effects include:

  • Dissociation (feeling disconnected)
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Drowsiness or fatigue
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Headache or dizziness

To manage these, your provider may offer supportive care such as anti-nausea medications. Patients must arrange a ride home post-treatment due to temporary sedation.

Spravato for Anxiety: What the Research Shows

Although Spravato is not yet FDA-approved specifically for anxiety, studies show it can improve symptoms of co-occurring anxiety in patients with depression. Social functioning, ability to work, and quality of life often improve.

Spravato vs Traditional Ketamine: Why FDA Approval Matters

Spravato is FDA-approved, administered only in certified clinics under the REMS program, and covered by most major insurance providers. In contrast, IV ketamine is off-label and often paid out of pocket.
