Cary Behavioral Health

Cary Behavioral Health in Cary, North Carolina offers both Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray and ketamine treatment by infusion and intramuscular injection for adults with treatment-resistant depression and related conditions. Ketamine may be a valuable addition to a care plan when depression has not improved with standard medications or psychotherapy.

Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain that regulate mood and pain perception, with many patients noticing improvements within days of the first treatment. Beyond depression, the team may recommend it on a case-by-case basis for PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction.

Each supervised session lasts less than an hour, with patients resting in a comfortable reclining chair. Treatment begins with a detailed psychiatric evaluation, and improvements can last weeks or months after a single session.
