TMS treatment for addiction

Smart TMS Bristol provides a treatment for addictions to smoking, alcohol, and cocaine among other things for those that want to overcome their addictions and cravings. Using the innovative and novel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) non-intrusive treatment, magnetic pulses are targeted at the regions of the brain that control cravings, with the aim of resetting the brain's chemical levels. 

How does Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) work in the treatment of addictions?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that involves the use of magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It has been used in the treatment of various addictions, including those related to cocaine, nicotine, and alcohol.

The aim of TMS in addiction treatment is to reset the brain's chemical levels and modulate neural activity in these craving-related regions. By doing so, TMS seeks to reduce the intensity of cravings experienced by individuals with addictions.

What should I expect during my TMS session?

During TMS treatment for addiction, pulsing magnetic stimulations are applied to the brain regions involved in craving control. These brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex, play a significant role in regulating addictive behaviors and the desire to use substances.

The course of TMS for addiction consists of 15 sessions.

After completing these sessions, patients will undergo a review with a clinician to assess the need for additional treatment in order to further alleviate cravings.

How effective is TMS treatment for addiction?

Out of every ten people with addictions (specifically those treated at Smart TMS), nine will experience positive effects from TMS treatment, and six patients will witness a 60% improvement in their condition.

The majority of patients score their cravings as 0/10 following treatment.

How much does TMS treatment for addictions cost?

The Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) course for the treatment of addictions provided by Smart TMS Bristol lasts for 15 sessions and costs £4125.

All patients are required to have an initial assessment with one of the consultants at Smart TMS before commencing with the TMS treatment. An initial assessment costs £350.
