What to Expect from Medical Detox at DeNovo Recovery img

Feeling trapped by addiction or depression? Traditional treatments may not help. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) offers hope for those overwhelmed by conventional therapies. You deserve to feel better, and TMS might unlock a brighter future for you or your loved ones.

At DeNovo Recovery, we know the challenges of finding effective treatment. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering innovative solutions like TMS while providing our comprehensive addiction and mental health services with care and compassion.

Know Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

TMS is a safe and noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to activate specific parts of the brain. During the procedure, a special coil is placed against the scalp, sending painless magnetic pulses into the head.

The process uses advanced techniques to stimulate brain areas regulating mood and emotional responses. By targeting these nerve cells, researchers aim to understand mood disorders and develop new treatment strategies for addiction.

How TMS Works

TMS is an engaging and easy-to-understand therapy. It uses magnetic pulses to create tiny electrical currents in the brain, which help activate specific pathways. This stimulation can make brain activity more normal in areas that may be too quiet or too active because of mental health issues or substance use disorders. While it works similarly to an MRI machine, TMS is designed to improve brain function instead of creating pictures.

The Treatment Process

A typical TMS session at DeNovo Recovery begins with a thorough assessment to determine the optimal treatment parameters for your needs. You’ll sit in a specially designed chair as the TMS device is positioned during treatment. Each session lasts about 20-40 minutes, during which you stay awake and alert. You can resume normal activities right after, making it easy to fit them into your routine.

Conditions

TMS effectively helps treat issues related to substance use disorders, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. When used alongside our addiction treatment programs, TMS works on both mental health issues and substance use disorders at the same time.

TMS and Substance Abuse Treatment

At DeNovo Recovery, we recognize the intricate link between mental health and addiction. TMS complements our comprehensive care approach, addressing both the mental health conditions that often underlie substance use and the addiction itself.

Reducing Cravings and Relapse

TMS has shown promise in reducing cravings by targeting brain areas associated with reward and impulse control. For individuals recovering from substances like alcohol, cocaine, or opioids, TMS can help break the cycle of addiction by minimizing triggers and enhancing decision-making.

Enhancing Overall Recovery

When integrated with therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and group counseling, TMS boosts motivation, reduces stress, and helps individuals rebuild their lives free from addiction.

Complete Treatment Approach

We integrate TMS therapy into our broader continuum of care. This comprehensive approach ensures that each client receives the most effective treatments for their situation. Our treatment options include:

  • Residential Treatment Program

Our residential program provides a structured environment where clients can focus entirely on recovery. TMS sessions are easily incorporated into the daily treatment schedule, complementing other therapeutic activities and medical care.

  • Intensive Outpatient Program

For those who need flexibility while maintaining their recovery journey, our intensive outpatient program allows clients to receive TMS therapy while continuing with work or family responsibilities.

  • Day Treatment Program

Our day treatment program offers a middle ground between residential and outpatient care. It provides structured support and TMS therapy during the day while allowing clients to return home in the evenings.

  • Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

Many individuals struggling with addiction also face mental health challenges. Our co-occurring disorders program utilizes TMS alongside traditional therapies to address both conditions simultaneously, improving outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse.

  • Family Support Program

We recognize the importance of family involvement in recovery. Our family support program helps loved ones understand the role of TMS and other treatments while developing the skills needed to support recovery.

Safety and Effectiveness

TMS is FDA-approved and has demonstrated an excellent safety profile. Unlike medications, it doesn’t cause systemic side effects and doesn’t require sedation. Most people experience minimal discomfort during treatment, and any mild side effects diminish after the first few sessions.

The Science Behind TMS Success

Clinical studies have consistently shown the effectiveness of TMS in treating various mental health conditions and addictions. The therapy works by:

  • Normalizing neurotransmitter levels in the brain
  • Improving communication between different brain regions
  • Reducing activity in areas associated with cravings
  • Enhancing activity in regions responsible for impulse control
  • Supporting the development of healthier neural pathways
