Addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by cravings, habitual drug seeking and unpleasant experiences during abstinence. Relapse rates for current therapies range between 40% and 80% at one year post-treatment.
Recent studies have highlighted the potential of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as an innovative, safe, and cost-effective treatment for alcohol and other substance use disorders. TMS, used off-label as MeRT is a noninvasive method for delivering electric field pulses to the brain. After an initial consult which involves an EEG, a protocol specific to the patient is prepared to reprogram the brain to address addictive impulses and to control the triggers leading to relapse.
Delivering electro-magnetic pulses in sequences to the brain can cause long-term brain enhancements that facilitate or impede the excitability of neurons. Studies have shown that patients receiving TMS were more likely to abstain from substance abuse offering new hope for creating enduring changes to enable the rewiring of the brain. TMS works by targeting the part of the brain responsible for mood control and depression which is why treatment specialist have started using TMS in treatment for the symptoms that come with addiction. TMS can help stimulate the brain and return control over their mood.
