At Tri America Health & Wellness, we understand that depression can be a challenging, ongoing struggle. For many individuals, traditional treatments like therapy and antidepressant medications may not provide sufficient relief. That’s why we offer Spravato (esketamine) as an innovative treatment option for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
Spravato is a breakthrough, FDA-approved nasal spray that offers rapid relief for individuals who have not responded to traditional antidepressants. If you have tried other treatments without success, Spravato could be the next step in your journey to emotional well-being.
Spravato is a form of esketamine, a medication derived from ketamine, which has been shown to have rapid and potent antidepressant effects. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show results, Spravato can help provide rapid relief of symptoms, sometimes within hours of administration.
Spravato works differently than conventional antidepressants by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain to regulate mood and emotional processing. It has shown significant promise in treating those with depression that hasn’t responded to other treatments, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
Spravato is administered in a controlled, supervised setting, typically in a comfortable clinic environment. The treatment involves:
Spravato is delivered as a nasal spray, making it easy to use without the need for injections.
Our licensed clinicians administer the medication and monitor you for any side effects or reactions. You will remain at our facility for about two hours after each treatment for observation.
Many individuals report feeling better within hours to days after their first dose, offering significant relief from symptoms like deep sadness, hopelessness, and lack of motivation.
Spravato is typically used in conjunction with ongoing therapy and other forms of care, which helps ensure long-term mental health improvement.
Spravato may be an appropriate treatment for you if:
Spravato can provide faster symptom relief compared to traditional antidepressants, helping to improve your mood and quality of life in as little as a few hours.
For many individuals who haven’t found success with traditional medications, Spravato offers a new hope for managing depression.
Spravato is generally well-tolerated, and adverse effects are typically mild, such as temporary dizziness or disorientation, which resolve within hours of treatment.
When combined with therapy, Spravato can enhance the overall treatment of depression, addressing both the biological and emotional aspects of the condition.
Each Spravato treatment session is designed with your comfort and safety in mind. Here’s what you can expect:
Before starting treatment, you’ll have a consultation with our medical team to discuss your medical history, any medications you are currently taking, and your treatment goals.
On the day of your treatment, you’ll be seated comfortably as the medication is administered as a nasal spray. The process only takes a few minutes.
After receiving your dose, you’ll remain in our facility for approximately two hours. During this time, our medical team will monitor you for any side effects or adverse reactions.
Before you leave, we’ll check in with you to assess how you’re feeling and provide any necessary follow-up instructions.
Spravato is typically administered in a series of treatments, starting at twice a week and eventually tapering to once a week or less as you experience improvement. Your care plan will be tailored to your individual needs and progress.

Traditional antidepressants work by adjusting the levels of neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain. Spravato, however, targets NMDA receptors, located in a different area of the brain, which play a role in mood regulation. This offers a novel approach to depression treatment.
