Spravato Ketamine Treatment in Las Vegas, Nevada

What is Spravato and How Does It Work?

Spravato is a nasal spray made from esketamine, approved by the FDA for adults facing treatment-resistant depression or depression with suicidal thoughts. Unlike common antidepressants, which act on serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato targets the glutamate system. This difference allows it to work faster and in ways that other medications cannot.

Many people in Las Vegas seek Spravato after years of trying multiple medications with limited results. If that sounds like your experience, you’re not alone, and this may be a next step worth exploring.

Where You’ll Receive Spravato Treatment in Las Vegas

We serve clients across Summerlin, Spring Valley, The Lakes, the Las Vegas Medical District, Rancho Oakey, Twin Lakes, Meadows, and West Las Vegas. If you’re within driving distance, you’re eligible for in-person treatment.

While your consultation starts through Henderson Mental Health, Spravato sessions are held in person at our affiliated clinic in Las Vegas, Serene Path Wellness. This location offers a calm, private environment with medical staff on site throughout the 2-hour treatment process.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Spravato?

Spravato is intended for adults who meet specific clinical criteria. You may be a good fit if:

We always start with a full psychiatric assessment to make sure Spravato is safe and appropriate for your situation.

You have tried two or more antidepressants without success

This is one of the main criteria for Spravato eligibility. If traditional medications haven’t improved your symptoms, you may qualify for treatment.

You experience suicidal thoughts alongside your depression

Spravato is FDA-approved for adults with major depressive disorder who also have suicidal thinking. It can reduce symptoms quickly during high-risk periods.

You have a diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression

If your depression has persisted despite therapy and multiple medication trials, Spravato may offer a new path toward relief.

You’re a veteran or first responder dealing with PTSD

Many of our clients have experienced trauma in high-stress roles. Spravato can help ease persistent symptoms tied to PTSD when other treatments fall short.

You’re ready to engage in therapy alongside medication

We encourage combining Spravato with virtual therapy through our team to support longer-lasting outcomes and emotional growth.

You’re looking for a medication with a different mechanism than SSRIs or SNRIs

Spravato works on a different brain system than most antidepressants, offering a faster-acting and alternative approach.
