Break Free From Addiction With Advanced Brain Stimulation
You Can Quit. And We Can Help.
Nicotine and alcohol addiction aren’t just bad habits. They’re chronic brain conditions with powerful neurological and behavioral roots. Over time, substances like nicotine, alcohol, or even prescription drugs rewire the brain’s reward system, making it incredibly hard to stop using them even when you want to.
- Cravings feel uncontrollable
- Relapses happen despite your best effort
- Willpower alone often isn’t enough
But there is hope.
At Jaslok Hospital, we offer a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that targets the core circuits driving your addiction. Our goal isn’t just to reduce symptoms; it’s to help your brain rewire and heal.
Take the First Step –
Deep TMS Therapy for Addiction
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) is a groundbreaking, drug-free therapy that stimulates specific brain regions involved in craving, reward-seeking, and habit formation. It’s the first and only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for nicotine addiction.
Why It Works –
Targets the medial prefrontal cortex and insula regions that regulate compulsive behavior and cravings
- Helps retrain your brain to break out of addiction patterns
- Promotes dopamine balance and emotional regulation
- No sedation, no downtime, no hospital stay required
This isn’t like taking a pill that wears off. dTMS works by modulating actual brain circuits linked to addiction making long-term recovery more achievable.
Is dTMS Treatment Backed by Research?
Absolutely. A landmark multicenter study in the American Journal of Psychiatry found:
- 28% of chronic smokers achieved 4 continuous weeks of abstinence using Deep TMS; almost double the success rate of placebo
- Minimal to no side effects reported
- dTMS sessions can be safely combined with counseling, nicotine patches, or behavioral therapy
Why Traditional Quit Methods Don’t Always Work
Whether it’s nicotine, alcohol, or opioids, addiction hijacks your brain’s reward system. That’s why quitting is more than just a decision; it’s a neurological reset.
Common Challenges in Quitting:
- Intense withdrawal symptoms
- Cravings that override logic
- Emotional instability and relapse risk
- Medication side effects or dependency
How Deep TMS Makes It Easier to Quit
Our addiction recovery program at Jaslok Hospital uses dTMS to:
- Reduce cravings at the neural level

- Improve focus, mood, and decision-making through recovery
Each session is:

- 20 minutes long
- Done in an outpatient setting
- No need for anesthesia or post-treatment rest
