GloFusion – Griffin, GA
Starting a new mental health treatment can feel overwhelming. If you have been scheduled for your first Spravato session at GloFusion Health, you might have questions about what to expect. We understand that feeling. Our compassionate team in Griffin, Georgia is here to guide you through every step with expertise and care.
What Is Spravato and How Does It Work?
Spravato is an FDA approved nasal spray containing esketamine. It helps adults with treatment resistant depression find relief when other medications have not worked. The treatment happens in our clinic under medical supervision for your safety and comfort.
Spravato works differently than traditional antidepressants. It targets brain pathways involved in mood regulation. Many patients notice improvements in their symptoms within hours or days. The Food and Drug Administration has approved this treatment for adults with treatment resistant depression. Research from the National Institute of Mental Health shows that innovative treatments like Spravato can offer hope when standard approaches fall short.
Steps to Take Before Your Appointment
Plan ahead for a smooth experience. Arrange transportation because you cannot drive after your session. Eat a light meal about two hours before your appointment. Avoid alcohol for at least twenty four hours prior. Bring a list of your current medications and any questions you want to discuss.
Our Spravato nasal spray for depression treatment page offers more details about the process. If you live near Griffin, GA, you can receive care in person. Georgia residents may also complete their initial evaluation through telehealth services before coming to the clinic.

What to Expect During Your Visit?
Your session begins with a brief check in with our medical team. You will self administer the nasal spray under supervision. Then you rest in our comfortable recovery area for about two hours. Our staff monitors your progress throughout.
Dr. Judith Ngulefac and Dr. Onyebuchi Nwaokolo lead our Spravato program with decades of combined experience. You can read more about Dr. Ngulefac or Dr. Nwaokolo on our provider pages. The CDC mental health resources provide helpful background on depression care. Many patients find that understanding the process reduces anxiety about their first visit.
After Your Session, What Comes Next
Plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Do not drive, operate machinery, or make important decisions until the next day. Most people resume normal activities within twenty four hours. Your care team will discuss a treatment schedule tailored to your needs.
Follow up appointments help us track your progress. Some patients combine Spravato with therapy or other supports. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes that comprehensive care often yields the best outcomes. If you are comparing options, our guide on Spravato versus traditional antidepressants can help inform your decision.
