How it works
rTMS stimulates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a region central to impulse control and reward regulation, helping to dampen cravings and support healthier decision-making during recovery.
Who it suits
Adults working on recovery from alcohol, nicotine or other substance use disorders who want to reduce cravings and complement psychotherapy or rehabilitation. Each patient is carefully assessed before treatment is recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Is rTMS proven for addiction?+
rTMS is FDA-cleared for smoking cessation and has growing evidence for alcohol, cocaine and other substance use disorders, with protocols targeting the prefrontal cortex to reduce cravings.
Will rTMS replace rehab or therapy?+
No. rTMS works best alongside psychotherapy, counselling and a relapse-prevention plan. We will help coordinate with your existing support team.
Do I need to be sober before treatment?+
Patients should be medically stable and not in acute withdrawal. We will review this at the consultation and recommend the appropriate timing.
How long do the benefits last?+
Many patients experience reduced cravings for several months after a full course. Maintenance sessions can be planned to support long-term recovery.
