HOPE FOR YOUR TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION

 

Welcome to Lakes Depression Center. We have treated the largest number of Spravato patients in the country. We have done over 5000 treatments so we have the experience needed to provide the best outcome for you. Our location has 6 full time custom designed rooms for the optimal and most comfortable Spravato Treatment experience.

 

SPRAVATO can have a rapid antidepressant response and is added on to an antidepressant and the rest of your regimen. It is the first new mechanism of action to treat depression that has come out in over 30 years. The initial course of treatment is twice a week for four weeks then generally once a week.  It can be continued 2 to 4 times a month for maintenance, as long as it is needed. I’m hoping that it can be effective for those of you who have not had an adequate response with currently available treatment.

 

SPRAVATO is given through nasal inhalation and it must be given in the office. It requires 2 to 3 hours of medical monitoring before you are allowed to go home. I have an amazing team of caring RNs and assistants working 7 days a week to provide this. You must have a ride home and you cannot drive for the rest of the day. This ride can be a family member, friend or we also offer COVID safe private drivers for hire. After a good nights sleep you can drive and return to normal activities. There are physical effects that occur during the 2 hours after the treatment is given, but resolve by the time you are discharged.  

 

Be brave and allow yourself to hope it will get better. Call or email and my Spravato Clinical Manager will respond to your inquiry and guide you through the process. Most insurances have coverage and no referral is needed. We look forward to helping you!
