Cedar Oaks Clinic

Cedar Oaks Clinic in Wake Forest, North Carolina offers a dedicated Spravato treatment program for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depression with suicidal ideation. Spravato, an esketamine nasal spray used alongside an antidepressant, is administered in the presence of a medical professional, with treatment twice weekly for four weeks, then weekly, before deciding on ongoing care.

Rather than simply administering the medication, Cedar Oaks takes an integrated approach for more sustainable results, with patients working one-on-one with providers on preparation, personal goals, lifestyle changes, playlists, and mindfulness exercises.

The clinic provides a dedicated safe space designed for treatment, with blankets, noise-canceling headphones, and a press-for-help button. The program is overseen by psychiatric nurse practitioner Shari Scott, with support from a health coach, and the clinic welcomes patients of all ages.
