Inspiration Health

Inspiration Health in Virginia Beach, Virginia offers Spravato, an FDA-approved intranasal esketamine treatment for major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression. Spravato works differently than oral antidepressants by targeting the NMDA receptor in the brain, helping to restore synaptic connections and often providing relief within hours or days for patients who have not found success with other treatments.

Spravato is administered as a nasal spray under the supervision of a healthcare professional, with patients monitored for about two hours after each dose. During the first month, treatment is given twice a week, then spaced further apart to every one to two weeks based on the patient's response and provider's plan. Spravato works alongside an existing oral antidepressant rather than replacing it.

Inspiration Health takes a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both mind and body with individualized treatment plans. The practice also offers mental health services, medication-assisted treatment, and substance use disorder programs in a supportive, welcoming environment.
