Addiction can be a challenging and isolating experience, but you don't have to face it alone. Our addiction services offer a comprehensive approach to recovery, combining therapy, support groups, and medication-assisted treatment to address the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Our goal is to help you build a foundation for long-term recovery and regain control of your life.

For many individuals, medication can be a crucial component of their mental health treatment plan. Our psychiatrists and APP’s work closely with you to develop a personalized medication regimen that addresses your specific symptoms and needs. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that your treatment remains effective, and any necessary adjustments are made promptly.

For patients who have not found relief through traditional antidepressants or therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a promising alternative. TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, particularly those involved in mood regulation. This innovative treatment can be a game-changer for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression.

Benefits of TMS Therapy

TMS therapy involves placing a magnetic coil against the scalp, near the forehead. Short magnetic pulses are then directed to specific areas of the brain, activating neural pathways that can improve mood. Each session typically lasts around 30 to 40 minutes, and a full course of treatment usually requires daily sessions over several weeks.

TMS has several advantages over other treatments for depression:

• It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no surgery or anesthesia is required.
• It has minimal side effects, with the most common being mild scalp discomfort or headache.
• It does not require medication, making it an excellent option for those who cannot tolerate antidepressant side effects.
• TMS can be used alongside other treatments, including medication and therapy, to enhance overall effectiveness.
