What Is Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray in North Scottsdale, AZ?

Rapid-Acting Relief

Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks or months to become effective, Spravato can produce noticeable improvements in depressive symptoms within days. This fast-acting nature provides hope and relief much sooner for individuals in crisis.

FDA-Approved Indications

Spravato is FDA-approved for two specific, hard-to-treat conditions: Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. This approval signifies a rigorous review of its safety and effectiveness.

Simple Nasal Spray Administration

The treatment is administered as a simple nasal spray, which you will self-administer in our clinic. This method is non-invasive, avoiding the need for injections or more complex procedures while ensuring precise dosage under clinical guidance.

Medically Supervised Sessions

Every treatment session takes place in our comfortable, REMS-certified clinic under the direct supervision of our medical team. Patients are monitored for two hours after administration to ensure safety and manage any side effects.

Novel Brain Pathway

Spravato works by targeting the NMDA receptor in the brain, a different mechanism than most oral antidepressants (like SSRIs). This novel approach is often effective for individuals who have not responded to other medications.

Insurance Coverage

Many major insurance plans, including Medicare, offer coverage for Spravato treatment. Our administrative team at Scottsdale TMS & Spravato can assist you with understanding your benefits and navigating the pre-authorization process.

Convenient Outpatient Care

Spravato therapy is provided on an outpatient basis, allowing you to incorporate treatment into your life without requiring a hospital stay. You can return home the same day after your monitoring period is complete.

Our Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray Process

Initial Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation by one of our board-certified psychiatrists. We will review your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments to determine if Spravato is an appropriate and safe option for you.

Personalized Treatment Plan & Insurance

If you are a candidate, we will create a personalized treatment plan outlining your session schedule. At this stage, our team will also handle the necessary steps for insurance pre-authorization to clarify your coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

Your Supervised Treatment Session

During your appointment, you will self-administer the Spravato nasal spray in a private, comfortable room. Our clinical team will be present to guide you through the simple process and provide support.

Post-Administration Monitoring

For your safety, you will relax in our clinic for a two-hour monitoring period after taking the spray. You must arrange for transportation home, as you will not be able to drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day.
