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. Please view the chart below to see your visit cadence and provider check-ins.

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

While Spravato and ketamine are both used to treat depression, they’re not the same. Ketamine is a decades-old anesthetic that’s used off-label in low doses for depression, typically administered through an IV. Spravato®, on the other hand, is a prescription nasal spray version of esketamine–a close chemical cousin of ketamine. Unlike ketamine, Spravato is FDA-approved specifically for treatment-resistant depression and must be administered in a certified clinic like Axis under direct supervision, and it’s covered by most insurance plans, unlike IV ketamine. We provide greater detail about the differences between Spravato vs Ketamine on our blog.

What Makes Axis Integrated Mental Health Different?

1. Integrated Care—Not a One-Off Treatment

Most Spravato clinics focus only on administering the medication. At Axis, we take it further. Your Spravato journey is part of a larger, personalized treatment plan that includes psychiatric support, therapy, and trauma-informed care all under one roof. You’re not just a chart. You’re a person with a story, and we treat the whole of it.

2. Insurance Advocates, Not Just Providers

Spravato is one of the few advanced depression treatments covered by insurance, but navigating approvals can be a headache. Our team handles prior authorizations, benefits checks, and appeals so you don’t have to. You focus on healing. We’ll deal with the paperwork.

3. Comfortable, Private Treatment Suites (With Vibes)

No cold exam tables or sterile hospital rooms here. Axis offers cozy, low-stimulation Spravato rooms with blankets, music, and noise-canceling headphones—so you can relax, reflect, and recover in peace. It’s clinical care that doesn’t feel clinical.

4. Trauma-Informed, Emotionally Safe Environment

Healing is vulnerable. That’s why every Axis team member is trained in trauma-informed practices. Whether you’re navigating depression, PTSD, or anxiety, you’ll never be judged, rushed, or left alone when you need support the most.

5. Transportation Support

We don't want you to miss treatment because rides fall through. This is why we developed a unique ketamine therapy transportation program. All new patients receive a $90 Uber voucher to ensure that transportation doesn't pose a barrier to treatment.

6. We Actually Listen

At Axis, we don’t just hear your symptoms–we hear you. We believe healing happens when people feel seen, understood, and supported. That’s why every provider from your intake coordinator to your psychiatric nurse makes connection the priority.

7. Award-Winning, Community-Focused Mental Health Care

We’re not a national chain. We’re a Colorado-grown, award-winning clinic deeply invested in our communities across Denver, Boulder, Westminster, and beyond. That means we don’t just offer excellent care—we’re part of the support system you live in.
