Depression is a serious illness that is often overlooked and misunderstood. It affects each patient differently and can become so severe that one develops suicidal thoughts or behavior. If you suffer from depression symptoms and have not found relief in medications and therapy, such as TMS therapy, SPRAVATO® (esketamine treatment) may be a great treatment option for you.
Haven Nexus Family Psychiatry is a certified SPRAVATO® treatment center for patients who suffer from treatment-resistant depression (TRD), or depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. In addition, Haven Nexus Family Psychiatry offers talk therapy by highly trained therapists and counselors for various behavioral health conditions.
If you have tried medication for your depression and are not getting better, SPRAVATO® may be right for you. SPRAVATO® is only available at certified SPRAVATO® treatment centers under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Our healthcare facility is certified in the SPRAVATO® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). This is a set of standards developed by the FDA to ensure your safety and well-being as you undergo SPRAVATO® treatment in our facility.
We believe that each patient's journey with depression is unique and must be handled with care. That is why we will create a tailored treatment plan that works best for you, so you can lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
Our staff is highly trained to dispense and administer SPRAVATO® to patients who need it to treat their depression. We have also implemented policies and procedures to ensure the safe handling, storage, and disposal of SPRAVATO® in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations and laws.
Patients who feel comfortable and at ease throughout the recovery process are more likely to remain committed to treatment. Hence, we are devoted to providing compassionate patient care and maintaining a positive atmosphere in our facility.

Spravato® plus medication has shown a rapid reduction of depressive symptoms as quickly as 24 hours.
SPRAVATO® is a nasal spray that contains esketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Used in conjunction with a traditional oral antidepressant, it is the first and only treatment of its kind approved to treat two subtypes of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients:
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD): Defined as having failed to respond to two or more antidepressant medications at adequate doses during the current episode.
Depressive symptoms with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal thoughts or behavior (MDSI).
SPRAVATO® has been proven to reduce depression symptoms within 24 hours, unlike traditional antidepressant medications that can take weeks to show effects. Given the urgent need for timely treatment, SPRAVATO® is an excellent option for patients who require significant symptom relief while a comprehensive, long-term treatment plan is developed.

If you and your healthcare provider decide that SPRAVATO® could be part of your treatment plan, contact us today.
On your first visit, we will evaluate if you are a candidate for SPRAVATO® (esketamine) treatment based on your medical history and symptoms, including:
We will also discuss safety information and answer any questions you may have. It is important that you understand how everything works so that you know what you are getting into with treatment.
After a comprehensive assessment is complete, we will discuss an individualized treatment plan with you that is tailored to your needs. We will also schedule your appointments and thoroughly check your insurance plans to ensure they cover our services.
Haven Nexus Family Psychiatry will attempt to compile all the necessary information for your insurance to determine if they will cover the SPRAVATO® treatment. Insurance will require a Prior Authorization (PA) to cover the SPRAVATO® treatment. This process can take some time, usually 1-3 weeks, depending on the insurance. We will do our best to update you during this process. Counseling and care coordination are available if needed. We will work hard to ensure that your case is reviewed as quickly as possible and that a favorable outcome is achieved.
You will also need to plan ahead for your rides on treatment days since driving or operating machinery will not be possible until the following day after a restful sleep.
On your second visit, you will begin your SPRAVATO® treatment. We will instruct you on how to use the SPRAVATO® nasal spray, and once you are ready, you may administer your dose under our supervision. We will monitor you afterward for at least 2 hours to check for possible side effects.
Once we deem you fit to leave, you may go home with your ride.
You will undergo SPRAVATO® treatment twice a week for the first month. We will then evaluate your progress to determine whether you should continue with treatment. If you are fit to do so, you will undergo treatment once a week during the second month, and then either once a week or once every other week starting from the third month onwards.
One common side effect is an increase in blood pressure, but this usually goes away after 4 hours. Other side effects that may occur and should disappear on the same day of your treatment include:
