Tucson Outpatient Psychiatry

Tucson Outpatient Psychiatry offers Spravato treatment in Tucson, Arizona, an FDA-approved therapy for treatment-resistant depression and depression with suicidal thoughts. Spravato is a nasal spray containing esketamine, delivered in a calm, monitored setting and always paired with therapeutic support.

Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin, Spravato affects the brain's glutamate system, which plays a role in mood, learning, and emotional regulation. It may help patients who have tried two or more antidepressants without meaningful relief. The spray is self-administered under direct supervision in a private room, followed by about two hours of monitoring, with a ride home required afterward.

Treatment typically begins twice weekly for the first month, then moves to less frequent maintenance sessions if improvement is seen. Alongside Spravato, the practice offers therapy, medication management, EMDR, and psychological evaluations, with virtual care available across Arizona.
