American Behavioral Clinics

Revolutionary Nasal Spray Treatment Provides Rapid Relief for Depression – Available at its Mequon & Oak Creek Clinics

MILWAUKEE, WI, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- American Behavioral Clinics is proud to announce the launch of SPRAVATO^® (esketamine) therapy, a groundbreaking FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation. Now available at our Mequon & Oak Creek Clinics in Southeastern Wisconsin, this innovative esketamine treatment offers rapid relief and new hope for individuals seeking effective depression care.

In a significant advancement for mental health care in Wisconsin, American Behavioral Clinics today announced the introduction of SPRAVATO^® therapy at its Mequon & Oak Creek Clinics. This revolutionary esketamine nasal spray represents a game-changer for patients with treatment-resistant depression, providing faster symptom relief than traditional antidepressants and targeting the brain's glutamate system for enhanced efficacy.

"Depression affects millions, but for those with treatment-resistant cases, finding relief can feel impossible. SPRAVATO^® esketamine therapy is a beacon of hope, offering rapid results and reduced side effects when combined with conventional antidepressants," said David Winston, Director of Operations at American Behavioral Clinics. "Our compassionate team is thrilled to bring this cutting-edge treatment to Southeastern Wisconsin, empowering patients to reclaim their lives."

Unlike standard antidepressants that primarily focus on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, SPRAVATO^® works by modulating glutamate – the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter. This unique mechanism can lead to quicker improvements, including decreased suicidal thoughts, the formation of new neural pathways, and breakthrough progress even after previous treatments have failed. Administered as an outpatient nasal spray under medical supervision, sessions are convenient, lasting about two hours, with patients required to remain at the clinic for monitoring.

Eligibility for SPRAVATO^® therapy includes adults diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior, per FDA guidelines. American Behavioral Clinics pairs this therapy with oral antidepressants for optimal, synergistic results, ensuring a personalized approach tailored to each patient's needs.

As a leader in behavioral health, American Behavioral Clinics continues to expand its suite of services, including psychiatric evaluations, therapy, medication management, and specialized programs. This addition underscores our commitment to evidence-based, innovative care in a supportive environment.
