Ellington Behavioral Health

Ellington Behavioral Health in Ellington, Connecticut offers both Spravato (esketamine) and IV ketamine infusion therapy for adults with depression, including treatment-resistant depression. Spravato is a prescription nasal spray used along with an oral antidepressant for treatment-resistant depression and for depressive symptoms in major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts.

Spravato is self-administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider in the office, with monitoring after each dose and a caregiver needed to drive the patient home. IV ketamine infusions, typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes, deliver precise dosing and rapid absorption in a calming, monitored environment, with each plan tailored to the individual.

Research suggests ketamine-based treatments can reactivate and grow new neural connections, helping shift the brain out of depression and sometimes providing relief within hours when other therapies have not worked.
