Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Support

Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for smoking cessation. Research is also supporting its efficacy for other dependencies, including alcohol, cocaine, and opioid use disorders, often used off-label to help with cravings and impulse control.

Yes, one of the primary mechanisms of TMS in addiction treatment is the reduction of cravings. By stimulating the brain's reward processing centers (like the insula and prefrontal cortex), it can help dampen the urge to use substances.

TMS is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive recovery plan that includes counseling, support groups, and medical management. It is a powerful tool to support your recovery efforts, not a replacement for them.

This varies by individual. Some start during early recovery to help manage intense cravings, while others use it later to address persistent post-acute withdrawal symptoms or co-occurring depression. We can help determine the best timing for you.

Deep TMS for Smoking Cessation is increasingly covered by some insurance plans. For other addictions, coverage may vary or it may be considered an off-label use. However, if you have co-occurring depression, treatment may be covered under a depression diagnosis.
