Why Combining Spravato with Therapy Works Best

At Next Step Psychiatry, we recommend combining Spravato with therapy for optimal results. Here's why this combination is so powerful.

The Science Behind Combination Treatment

Spravato's Neuroplasticity Effect Spravato promotes the growth of new neural connections. This creates a "window of opportunity" where the brain is more receptive to change—making therapy more effective.

Therapy Builds Lasting Skills While Spravato provides rapid relief, therapy teaches coping strategies, thought patterns, and behaviors that maintain improvement long-term.

Best Therapy Types to Combine with Spravato

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Identifies negative thought patterns
  • Teaches practical coping skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Focuses on values-based living
  • Teaches mindfulness
