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

Rapid-Acting Relief

Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks or months to become effective, Spravato can produce a noticeable improvement in depressive symptoms within days. This rapid onset of action is crucial for individuals needing urgent relief.

FDA-Approved for TRD

Spravato is specifically FDA-approved for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts. It represents a clinically proven option for those who have not found success with other medications.

Supervised & Comfortable Sessions

Each treatment is self-administered as a simple nasal spray under the direct supervision of our medical team in a private, comfortable suite. We monitor you for two hours after administration to ensure your safety and well-being.

Insurance & Financial Support

Navigating insurance can be complex. Our administrative team assists with verifying your benefits with major insurance plans, including Medicare, handles the prior authorization process, and helps you explore financial support programs to make treatment accessible.

Promotes Neuroplasticity

Esketamine works by targeting the NMDA receptor, which is thought to help restore synaptic connections in brain cells. This process, known as neuroplasticity, can help your brain form new, healthier pathways and improve mood regulation over time.

Integrated Care Approach

Spravato is administered as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes an ongoing therapeutic relationship with a healthcare provider. We believe in an integrated approach that addresses your mental health from multiple angles for lasting stability.

REMS Certified Safety

Our clinic is a REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) certified center, meaning we meet strict FDA safety protocols for prescribing and administering Spravato. This ensures you receive treatment in a controlled, secure, and professional environment.

FAQ About Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray in Tempe, AZ

How does Spravato work differently from other antidepressants?

Spravato targets the brain’s NMDA receptor, a different mechanism from most common antidepressants. This action is believed to increase neuroplasticity, helping the brain form new neural connections, which can lead to rapid symptom improvement.

How long does a Spravato treatment session take?

Each Spravato treatment session requires a two-hour in-clinic stay. This includes the time to administer the nasal spray and the mandatory observation period where our staff monitors your well-being and vital signs before you can be safely discharged.

Is Spravato covered by insurance?

Yes, Spravato is covered by most major insurance plans, including Medicare, for its FDA-approved indications. Our administrative team will work with you and your insurance provider to handle prior authorizations and determine your specific coverage.

Will I be able to drive myself home after a treatment session?

No, you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery for the rest of the day after your treatment. You must arrange for transportation home from the clinic, as Spravato can cause drowsiness and affect your coordination and judgment.
