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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common side effects include:
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.
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 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.
