What to expect at the North Bethesda clinic
Plan on about two and a half hours in the building. That is roughly a minute to take the dose, then two hours of monitoring, which is a federal REMS requirement at every certified clinic in the country. We have a dedicated monitoring space here rather than a shared waiting room, so you are not sitting in a busy corridor while the medication wears off. Bring headphones if music helps you settle. You cannot drive afterward, so arrange a ride.

Who Spravato in North Bethesda is for
Esketamine nasal spray is not a first-line antidepressant. It is for people who have already tried oral medications without lasting improvement, and who can come to a certified clinic for supervised dosing.
-
Treatment-resistant depression
You have tried at least two antidepressants in the current episode without enough relief. That is the FDA indication Spravato is approved for.
-
Major depression with suicidal thoughts
Spravato is also approved alongside an oral antidepressant when major depressive disorder includes acute suicidal ideation or behavior. We evaluate this carefully in person.
-
Ready for clinic-based care
Every dose happens here under REMS monitoring. You need a ride home and about two and a half hours per visit — not a take-home nasal spray.
Spravato treatment schedule
The FDA dosing schedule is the same at every certified clinic. What changes locally is how easy it is to get here twice a week during induction — which is why a North Bethesda address matters if you live along the 355 corridor.
-
Induction
Weeks 1–4
Two supervised sessions each week at our North Bethesda office. This is the densest stretch of the protocol and where most people first notice a shift.
-
Optimization
Weeks 5–8
Most patients move to one session per week while we track mood, side effects, and whether the dose still fits.
-
Maintenance
Week 9 and beyond
Weekly or every other week, based on how you are doing. Some patients taper later; others stay on a maintenance schedule long term.
What we treat at this location
- Treatment-resistant depression
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- OCD
- Bipolar II depression
We do not treat bipolar I, psychosis, substance use disorders, or personality disorders, and we will refer you on if that is what you need.

Spravato in North Bethesda — FAQs
Where can I get Spravato in North Bethesda, MD?
At Bright Horizons Psychiatry, 6000 Executive Blvd, Suite 101, Rockville, MD 20852 — our North Bethesda office on the 355 corridor near White Flint and Twinbrook Metro. It is a certified Spravato (esketamine) treatment center with on-site REMS monitoring.
Is Spravato covered by insurance in Maryland?
Most major plans cover Spravato for treatment-resistant depression, including Medicare and Maryland Medicaid. Prior authorization is required. We file it and confirm your out-of-pocket cost before the first dose.
Do I need a referral for Spravato near North Bethesda?
No referral is required to book a consultation. We review your antidepressant history during the evaluation and handle prior authorization with your insurer.
How is Spravato different from ketamine infusions?
Spravato is FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray given at a fixed dose in a REMS-certified clinic. IV and IM ketamine use the full ketamine molecule and are typically prescribed off label. We offer Spravato and IM ketamine at this location; ask which fits your history.
Can I drive myself home after a Spravato session?
No. Federal rules require two hours of monitoring, and you cannot drive until the next day after a full night of sleep. Arrange a ride before you book — rideshare and family pickup both work well near Executive Boulevard.
Does the North Bethesda clinic also offer Deep TMS?
Yes. BrainsWay Deep TMS is available at this office only — not at Frederick. If you may need Spravato, TMS, or both, you can be evaluated for either treatment in one visit.
How soon can I start Spravato treatment?
Most new patients are seen within a few business days for an evaluation. Once insurance prior authorization clears, induction sessions can begin. Call (240) 599-1001 or book online.
Is this the same clinic as Bright Horizons Rockville?
Yes. One office serves Rockville and North Bethesda at 6000 Executive Blvd. Maps and mail use the Rockville ZIP code; the neighborhood is North Bethesda near White Flint and Pike & Rose.
