Spravato Treatment in Georgia
At St. Mary’s Wellness Center, we offer Spravato (esketamine) treatment, a novel therapeutic option approved for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. This breakthrough treatment provides new hope for those who have not responded to traditional antidepressant medications.
Your Recovery is Our Priority
St. Marys Wellness Center has caring representatives available 24/7 to help you or your loved one when dealing with mental health concerns.
What is Spravato?
Spravato, the brand name for esketamine nasal spray, is derived from ketamine and functions as a rapid-acting antidepressant. It is specifically designed for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have tried other antidepressants without success. Spravato is administered under medical supervision in a clinic setting, as it can induce dissociative effects and requires monitoring.
Benefits of Spravato Treatment
- Provides relief from depressive symptoms quickly, often within hours or days
- Has a novel mechanism of action compared to traditional antidepressants
- Offers a treatment option when other medications have failed
- Can reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors in patients with severe depression
How We Administer Spravato
Spravato treatment at St. Mary’s Wellness Center is administered twice a week for the first month, followed by a tapering schedule based on individual response. Each treatment session lasts about two hours, during which the patient self-administers Spravato under the supervision of healthcare professionals. After administration, patients are observed in a comfortable setting to manage any immediate side effects.
