At Montana Psychiatry, we know how exhausting it can be to struggle with treatment-resistant depression when standard medications haven’t provided the relief you need. It’s hard to stay hopeful when your symptoms persist despite your best efforts. That’s why we offer Spravato (esketamine) in Billings and Bozeman—an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically designed for adults who have not found success with traditional antidepressants.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, especially when it comes to complex depression. As a certified Spravato treatment center, we provide a structured, medically supervised environment where you can receive this breakthrough therapy safely. Our team monitors your progress during every session, adjusting your personalized plan to help you bridge the gap between “getting by” and truly feeling like yourself again.
If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment option and traditional antidepressants haven’t provided relief, our specialists can determine if SPRAVATO® is the right fit for you.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It’s a safe, clinically proven, and effective treatment conveniently provided in an outpatient setting under medical supervision. SPRAVATO® offers a medication-alternative approach that works differently than traditional antidepressants, targeting a different pathway in the brain for patients who have not found relief from standard medications.
SPRAVATO® delivers treatment through a nasal spray containing esketamine, which targets a different pathway in the brain than traditional antidepressants. While most antidepressants work on serotonin, SPRAVATO® acts on the glutamate system in the brain, specifically the NMDA receptors, which play a key role in mood regulation. This innovative treatment targets the brain’s neural pathways by helping to restore connections between nerve cells, promoting increased activity in regions associated with mood regulation.
Unlike traditional treatments, such as medication, SPRAVATO® therapy can work rapidly and is administered under medical supervision. Many people report substantial improvements in mood, energy levels, and overall well-being, with some patients experiencing relief in as little as 24 hours. Throughout several sessions, typically conducted over a few weeks, SPRAVATO® therapy gradually helps restore brain function and alleviate depressive symptoms.
For optimal results, SPRAVATO® requires a series of treatment sessions administered under medical supervision in our office. Typically, patients receive two treatments per week for the first four weeks. Prior to treatment, our medical experts will examine you and determine the appropriate dose for you. Each treatment session usually lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours, which includes the administration time and the required monitoring period afterward.
During each session, you’ll self-administer the nasal spray under our team’s guidance, and then you’ll be monitored for at least two hours to ensure your safety and comfort. Because SPRAVATO® can cause temporary side effects like dizziness or sedation, you’ll need to arrange transportation to and from each appointment – you cannot drive yourself home after treatment.
Every patient’s body chemistry is different; results will differ from person to person. SPRAVATO® may be able to alleviate your symptoms of depression or help them disappear entirely. Some patients notice improvements in mood and depressive symptoms within 24 hours, while for others it may take several weeks of treatment sessions to experience the full benefits.
We help people living with major depression and similar conditions by pairing carefully chosen medications with ongoing support. The right antidepressants can ease persistent low moods, give you back energy, and make it easier to take part in daily life again.
Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Medications can help regulate stress responses and reduce persistent worry, giving you space to practice coping strategies with more ease.
For people living with bipolar disorder, we often use mood stabilizers and other medications to help even out the extreme highs and lows. People tell us they have more energy, sleep more soundly, and connect with others more easily, which makes everyday life feel a little easier to handle.
Sleep is essential for mental health. Our psychiatrists can recommend medications that support restful sleep while monitoring for side effects, helping you wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Post-traumatic stress disorder can affect mood, sleep, and focus. Medication management can help reduce intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and hyperarousal, allowing therapy and coping strategies to work more effectively.
For people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, the right medications can help with focus and managing impulses. These changes make day-to-day tasks at work, school, or home feel more manageable and less stressful.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can feel overwhelming, but medications can reduce intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, giving you the mental space to apply behavioral strategies and live more freely.
