Allied Psychiatry and Mental Health provides Spravato® nasal ketamine to patients in Newport Beach and Orange County, CA who are seeking support for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. This FDA-approved nasal spray is designed for individuals who have not experienced adequate results with traditional oral antidepressants. Under the supervision of board-certified psychiatrist Hadi Estakhri, MD, treatment is administered in a safe, controlled clinical setting.
Spravato® is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike traditional medications that target the monoamine system, this therapy acts on the glutamate system, which plays a role in brain signaling pathways. Treatment is administered under clinical supervision and is typically used alongside an oral antidepressant as part of a comprehensive care plan.
Before beginning treatment, Hadi Estakhri, MD, conducts a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine whether Spravato® is appropriate for your needs. This assessment considers your medical history, current symptoms, and prior medication use to help guide a personalized treatment approach.
You will self-administer the nasal spray under the direct supervision of trained medical staff in a private, comfortable treatment room. Your response will be observed throughout the session to support safe and proper administration.
After administration, you will remain in the office for approximately two hours for monitoring. This observation period allows the care team to assess your condition and provide support as needed before you leave the facility.
Because the medication may cause temporary drowsiness or changes in perception, you will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home. Patients are generally advised to rest and avoid driving or operating machinery until the following day.
The cost of Spravato® in Newport Beach & Orange County, CA, may vary depending on factors such as insurance coverage, pharmacy pricing, and your individualized treatment plan. In many cases, patients can expect a range of approximately $300–$900 per session. Our team can assist you in understanding your benefits and estimating potential out-of-pocket expenses. Contact us to learn more or request personalized cost information.
