Yes. Oasis Northfield offers Spravato® treatment for eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression.

The common side effects from Spravato® are dizziness, nausea, increased blood pressure, drowsiness, dissociation, and increased blood pressure.  These side effects often peak during or shortly after treatment and subside within a few hours. At Oasis Mental Health Centers, we ensure patient safety by administering Spravato® at REM’s certified locations, and under medical supervision in a comfortable setting.

Unlike traditional antidepressants that increase serotonin over weeks, Spravato® works on the NMDA receptor, targeting glutamate—a neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation. This leads to rapid symptom relief, sometimes within hours. It helps form new neural connections, rewiring the brain to improve resilience.  Patients take Spravato® in-office twice a week for the first month, then less frequently based on progress.  

Spravato® does not typically cause weight gain. Unlike some antidepressants that affect metabolism and appetite, Spravato®’s primary action is on glutamate pathways, which are not directly linked to weight changes. Some patients report minor appetite changes, but no significant weight gain has been documented in clinical trials. Unlike traditional antidepressants, it does not affect serotonin-related hunger signals.

Spravato® offers a safer, regulated approach to ketamine therapy. At Oasis Mental Health Centers, we provide only FDA approved and insurance covered Esketamine (Spravato®) treatment depression relief. Spravato® is the only version of Ketamine FDA approved, and covered by insurance for depression treatment.
