Retreat & Restore Healing Arts Center

Retreat & Restore Healing Arts Center in Haverford, Pennsylvania is a certified Spravato treatment center serving adults with severe treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation. The esketamine nasal spray is FDA approved for treatment-refractory depression and administered on site under supervision.

Patients self-administer the nasal spray under the supervision of a healthcare provider and are monitored for at least two hours afterward. Because of effects on alertness and coordination, patients cannot drive until the next day and arrange rides on treatment days.

Spravato is taken with an oral antidepressant, beginning with twice-weekly dosing for the first four weeks, then weekly, and later weekly or every two weeks. Interested patients should be working with a treating psychiatrist who can refer them and provide current records for a consultation with Dr. Rushing.
