Spravato (Esketamine) Treatment near Dracut, MA

Psych Boston offers Spravato (esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression at our Lexington office, serving patients from Dracut.

About Spravato (esketamine) treatment

Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression, and for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder who have suicidal thoughts or actions. It works differently from traditional antidepressants and is used under close medical supervision.

When patients in Dracut reach out

  • Depression that has not improved after two or more antidepressant trials
  • Ongoing severe depressive symptoms despite therapy and medication
  • Wanting an alternative approach with structured medical monitoring
  • Patients exploring options alongside or before TMS
  • Questions about whether esketamine is safe with current medications
  • Adults seeking a second opinion on treatment-resistant depression

These examples are educational and are not a diagnosis. A licensed clinician determines the right assessment and treatment plan.

Our approach

Every patient first has a psychiatric evaluation to confirm that Spravato is appropriate, review medical history and blood pressure, and check for conditions where it should not be used. Insurance authorization is usually required before treatment begins.

On treatment days, you self-administer the nasal spray under clinician supervision and remain at the office for monitoring for at least two hours. You should not drive or operate machinery until the next day after a restful sleep, so you will need a ride home. Treatment typically starts twice weekly, then tapers in frequency based on response.
