Spravato Treatment

When Other Treatments Haven’t Worked, Spravato Offers a New Path

At H3O Wellness in Twin Falls, ID, we understand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to try treatment after treatment without relief. If you’ve been living with treatment-resistant depression, there is hope. 

Spravato® (esketamine) offers a groundbreaking alternative designed to work differently than traditional antidepressants. Backed by science and administered in a safe, supportive environment, Spravato may be the path forward you’ve been searching for.

What Is Spravato Treatment?

SPRAVATO® is an innovative treatment for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation.

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray that works differently from traditional antidepressants, providing relief for patients who have not responded to other treatments. Administered under medical supervision, SPRAVATO® is used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant to help improve symptoms and support long-term mental health stability.

How Spravato Treatment Works

SPRAVATO® targets the NMDA receptors in the brain, influencing glutamate production, which plays a key role in mood regulation and neural connectivity. 

This mechanism allows for rapid symptom relief, often within hours or days, compared to traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to take effect. The treatment is administered as a nasal spray in a controlled clinical setting, ensuring patient safety and effectiveness.
