SPRAVATO®: A Solution for Treatment Resistant Depression

Finally, a solution for your depression that is fast-acting and covered by all commercial insurance including Medicare. Relief Mental Health is a  REMS-certified provider of SPRAVATO®, designed to help patients with treatment-resistant depression and major depression with suicidal thoughts or actions.

SPRAVATO® works differently than oral antidepressants by targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. What’s more, SPRAVATO® is administered intranasally in an outpatient setting and doesn’t require an IV or needles.

SPRAVATO® appointments require a personal intake and in-office medical supervision. Provider availability varies by location. Call (855) 205-4764 or email info@reliefmh.com to discuss treatment and the soonest available options.

Frequently Asked Questions: SPRAVATO®

Yes, treatment with SPRAVATO® is safe. SPRAVATO® nasal spray is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for :

  • Adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
  • Depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or actions

In some cases, patients may experience sleepiness, dizziness, and/or dissociation. Because of these potential side-effects, we administer SPRAVATO® under the guidelines established by the SPRAVATO® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) protocol. We monitor you closely for any side-effects and/or warning signs, and a Relief clinician is always present to help address any problems or concerns if they arise during a treatment session.

You’ll self-administer SPRAVATO® under the supervision of a qualified Relief Mental Health medical practitioner.

You’ll self-administer SPRAVATO® in our comfortable outpatient office environment.

A full session takes about two and a half hours. You arrive, spend about 15 minutes getting settled in and comfortable, then self-administer SPRAVATO® with a nasal inhaler. You remain under the observation of a trained and qualified Relief Mental Health clinician for a minimum of two hours after self-administration.

Because the potential side effects of SPRAVATO® include drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation, it’s important to arrange transportation to and from each treatment session. Although these side effects fade rapidly, the makers of SPRAVATO® include this advice on the label:

“Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything where you need to be completely alert after taking SPRAVATO®. Do not take part in these activities until the next day following a restful sleep.”

Patients receiving SPRAVATO® treatments are required to have transportation from care.

The exact number of treatment sessions depends on your treatment progress, how you feel about the treatment, and the input of your therapist/psychiatrist.

Relief Mental Health will provide you with an assessment to see if SPRAVATO® is a good fit for you. Contact us today to learn more or take our assessment here: SPRAVATO® Self-Assessment.
