If you are struggling with your mental health, finding solutions that work can sometimes feel like an impossible task. At Right Track Medical Group, we understand how frustrating it can be to dedicate time and effort toward seeking help but not feel improvement. This is why, in addition to our standard treatments such as antidepressants and therapy, we offer advanced, clinically proven mental health management for those who have been resistant to previous treatments.
Spravato is an advanced treatment for depression that renews hope for individuals still searching for relief. Our dedicated team of mental health professionals is here to help you understand what to expect from your Spravato treatment in Oxford.
Spravato is an FDA-cleared treatment designed for adults seeking relief from treatment-resistant depression (TRD). TRD is a form of major depressive disorder characterized by persistent symptoms that have not responded to two or more antidepressant medications. While traditional antidepressants are an effective treatment for some, about one in three patients do not experience relief. For these Oxford patients, advanced treatments such as Spravato can be life-changing.
We administer Spravato as a nasal spray containing esketamine, which works by targeting brain pathways involved in mood regulation. The effects are much faster than alternative treatments, and clients typically begin to feel a reduction in symptoms just 24 hours after their first dose. This makes Spravato particularly effective for those struggling with suicidal thoughts, which the FDA has also cleared it to treat.
Spravato typically works quickly and provides lasting effects. In Oxford, we administer the nasal spray treatment on a phase-based dosing schedule in order to provide meaningful improvement that lasts. For your first four weeks on Spravato, you may come to our office twice a week for treatment, followed by once a week for the following four weeks, then as needed for maintenance doses.
We designed this schedule to boost neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to heal itself over time. One of our board-certified psychiatry providers could oversee each session and monitor your mental and physical health for the duration of treatment. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we can make any adjustments needed throughout your treatment course to maintain its effectiveness and your welfare.
For those who have not had success with traditional medications and are still searching for symptom relief, you may be wondering about the differences between our two advanced treatment options, Spravato and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy. While these two treatments are both clinically proven to work when other methods have not, there are a few key differences that may make one treatment more appropriate for you. They differ in the conditions treated, mechanism of action, and timeline.
Both treatments manage treatment-resistant depression, while the FDA has cleared TMS therapy to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder and smoking cessation. TMS therapy does not use any medication but rather administers electromagnetic waves through the scalp to reactivate regions of the brain.
Spravato is able to offer more immediate relief than TMS therapy in Oxford, which can take weeks of consistent treatment before noticing results. Both treatments are great options for effective mental health improvement. Our dedicated team could help you learn whether one of these treatments could help you manage your mental health condition.
Spravato offers a fresh approach for those who feel stuck in their mental health treatment journey. You are not alone in your search for improved well-being.
