If you’re feeling trapped in a cycle of stubborn depression, you’re not alone. At Innerbloom Ketamine in San Luis Obispo, we understand the struggle and are here to offer hope through innovative treatments like SPRAVATO®. This FDA-approved nasal spray is designed for those who have not found relief from traditional antidepressants, providing rapid relief often within 24 hours. If you’re ready to explore a new path toward healing, let’s dive into what SPRAVATO® can do for you.
What Is SPRAVATO®?
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically designed for adults suffering from Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation. At Innerbloom Ketamine’s San Luis Obispo clinic, we are proud to offer this groundbreaking treatment option. One of the most compelling aspects of SPRAVATO® is its ability to provide rapid relief, often within just 24 hours of administration. Additionally, many insurance plans cover this treatment, making it a viable option for those seeking help.
How SPRAVATO® Works
SPRAVATO® works by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain, helping to reset the brain chemistry that contributes to depressive symptoms. This unique mechanism of action is what sets SPRAVATO® apart from traditional antidepressants, which often take weeks to show effects.
During your treatment at Innerbloom Ketamine, you will self-administer SPRAVATO® via a nasal spray under the supervision of our trained professionals. After each dose, you will be monitored for two hours in a calm and supportive clinic environment. We strictly adhere to FDA regulations, ensuring that SPRAVATO® is used safely and effectively, with no off-label applications.
Who SPRAVATO® Is For
SPRAVATO® is intended for adults who have not experienced improvement after trying two or more antidepressants. It can also be a crucial option for those grappling with suicidal thoughts due to MDD. Before beginning treatment at Innerbloom Ketamine, a referral from a psychiatrist is required. We accept various insurance providers, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Medicare, and others, making it easier for you to access the care you need.
