What is Spravato®?

Spravato® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray used in combination with an oral antidepressant for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to work, Spravato® works differently in the brain and may help improve symptoms more quickly for some individuals.

Spravato® is administered in a safe, medically supervised setting by trained healthcare professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spravato® may be appropriate for adults who:

Have treatment-resistant depression
Have tried multiple antidepressant medications without significant improvement
Continue experiencing persistent symptoms of depression
Are seeking additional treatment options under the guidance of a healthcare provider

Our providers carefully evaluate each individual to determine whether Spravato® may be a good fit for their unique needs and treatment goals.

Spravato® works differently than many traditional antidepressants by targeting glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and brain function. This unique approach may help restore connections in the brain affected by depression.

Treatment sessions take place in one of our comfortable clinical settings, where patients self-administer the nasal spray under medical supervision. Because temporary side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, or changes in perception can occur, patients are monitored for a period after each treatment session before returning home.

Will My Insurance Cover Spravato®?

Many insurance plans may provide coverage for Spravato treatment, especially for individuals who meet criteria for treatment-resistant depression or other approved uses. Coverage can vary depending on your specific insurance provider, plan benefits, prior authorization requirements, and medical history.]

At Astra Behavioral Health, our team can help guide you through the insurance verification process and discuss available options before starting treatment. We understand that navigating insurance can feel overwhelming, and we are committed to helping patients better understand their benefits and potential out-of-pocket costs.
