Supervised treatment refers to medical or mental health care that is delivered under the direct oversight of qualified healthcare professionals. During supervised treatment, providers monitor patients throughout the treatment process to ensure safety, assess effectiveness, manage side effects, and make adjustments when necessary.
In mental healthcare, supervised treatment is often recommended for advanced therapies, medication management, and treatments that require close observation, such as Spravato® (esketamine) therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Supervised treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for an individual’s needs. Once treatment begins, healthcare providers monitor the patient’s progress and response throughout the course of care.
