Carencia Mental Healthcare

Carencia Mental Healthcare in Arlington, Texas offers Spravato for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation. The practice is a REMS-certified administration site and has chosen to use the FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray rather than IV ketamine, working under direct supervision of a healthcare provider.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by esketamine sessions lasting about two hours each with monitoring throughout. The course typically runs twice weekly at first, transitioning to weekly or biweekly, for a total of around 14 sessions over 12 weeks, allowing real-time adjustments to personalized care.

Carencia takes a whole-person approach integrating psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and nutrition support, with a focus on addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. The team also offers medication-assisted treatment options including Vivitrol, Sublocade, and Brixadi.
