Barrier Islands Psychiatry

Barrier Islands Psychiatry in Charleston, South Carolina offers Spravato for adults with treatment-resistant depression. The FDA-approved nasal spray targets the NMDA receptor and is administered in the office under close supervision to help reduce depression symptoms.

Treatment sessions are conducted weekly for eight weeks, with each session lasting two hours after the medication is given while patients are closely monitored. Patients arrange a ride to and from treatment since they cannot drive afterward, and any common side effects typically resolve the same day.

Barrier Islands Psychiatry is an outpatient practice specializing in addiction and other mental health concerns. Spravato is covered by most health insurance plans, with additional patient support available through Janssen CarePath for those who qualify.
