Relief Mental Health, a top provider of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (including SPRAVATO® and IV ketamine), psychiatry, and talk therapy, has introduced TMS for smoking cessation at its Oak Brook, IL clinic.
Relief Mental Health is now offering BrainsWay Deep TMS™ technology for smoking cessation at its Oak Brook, IL clinic. This non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment targets brain pathways associated with nicotine addiction. By stimulating specific brain areas, Deep TMS reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, supporting patients in their efforts to quit smoking.
With smoking costing nearly $4,000 per year for a pack-a-day smoker in Illinois and generating significant healthcare and productivity losses, Deep TMS offers a promising alternative for those who have struggled with other cessation methods. The therapy also addresses broader health risks such as heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.
Susan Mueller, CEO of Relief Mental Health, emphasized the importance of this new treatment, stating, “Deep TMS for smoking cessation is a groundbreaking solution that tackles nicotine addiction at its core, helping our patients achieve their goal of quitting smoking.”
The efficacy of Deep TMS is supported by studies showing improvements in quit rates and reductions in cravings and cigarette consumption. The treatment is well-tolerated, with no systemic side effects reported.
In addition to smoking cessation, Deep TMS is FDA-approved for depression, OCD, and anxious depression. Relief Mental Health also offers rapid-acting psychedelic therapies, including SPRAVATO® and ketamine infusions, for various mental health conditions. These treatments are available at all 10 Relief clinics and are covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare.
