Thorntree Psychiatric Associates

Thorntree Psychiatric Associates in Dallas, Texas offers Spravato and generic ketamine options for adults with treatment-resistant depression. As a REMS-certified treatment center, the practice administers FDA-approved Spravato esketamine nasal spray under supervision, keeping patients for a couple of hours of observation after each session.

The practice also offers off-label intranasal ketamine and sublingual ketamine lozenges, which provide a viable alternative when Spravato is cost prohibitive, with added flexibility in dosing. Research suggests ketamine may also benefit borderline personality disorder, bipolar depression, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and OCD.

Ketamine targets specific brain receptors to promote new connections between stress-damaged nerve cells, supporting pain relief, relaxation, and more flexible thinking. The consultation process includes a psychiatric assessment, a general medical exam by anesthesia staff, and screening to ensure the treatment is appropriate.
