Conditions Treated
Ketamine is FDA-approved as an anesthetic and, in the form of Spravato (esketamine), for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation. It is also widely used off-label for anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, and certain chronic-pain conditions including CRPS and fibromyalgia. Eligibility depends on a clinical intake evaluation with the prescribing provider.
Treatment Offered at Breakthru Psychiatric Solutions
Spravato (Esketamine)
Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray derived from ketamine, administered in a certified healthcare setting. Patients self-administer the spray under clinical supervision and then rest on-site for two hours while staff monitor blood pressure and mental status. Treatment typically starts twice weekly, then tapers to weekly and eventually bi-weekly maintenance. Because Spravato is dispensed through a REMS-certified program, it must be given in-office — patients cannot take it home.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Before your first Spravato appointment, the clinic's team will review your psychiatric history, current medications, and confirm that you meet the FDA criteria (treatment-resistant depression or MDD with suicidal ideation). A prescriber must certify enrollment in the REMS program, so expect some administrative paperwork at the initial consultation.
On treatment days, the clinical staff will guide you through self-administering the nasal spray. You'll then remain in the office for a mandatory two-hour observation window while staff monitor blood pressure, alertness, and mental status. Bring something relaxing — music, an eye mask — and arrange a ride home, as driving is not permitted on treatment days.
