Healing the Core of Addiction TMS in Hawaii

Improve Your Mental Wellness Without Medication Using TMS Therapy in Hawaii

Overcoming mental health disorders is challenging. Your journey to overcoming their effects in daily life will be unique. Having as many options as possible throughout the healing process can increase the chances of finding a life-changing treatment that works for your sustainable healing. At Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™, we offer an array of mental health treatment options, with transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, being one of these options that can help you explore new ways of addressing mental health disorders and empower you to find an effective treatment plan without using medication.

Insurances Accepted

Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ works with both in-network and out-of-network insurance providers, so you always have access to support. We are also available to verify your insurance coverage before you begin any addiction or mental health treatment program, so you are always aware of any charges before starting your journey with us. Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ understands that treatment and therapy can be intimidating, but we believe cost should never be a barrier to effective treatment and healing. Call us today.

Understanding Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy

Just as each person’s journey with mental health disorders is unique, so too should be a person’s treatment options and care. TMS is just one of these treatment options for you to explore. Knowing what to expect when exploring TMS in Hawaii, the goals of TMS, and how to incorporate it into your existing and effective treatment plan can empower you to commit to lasting, effective change.

A Non-Invasive Therapeutic Technique

TMS in Hawaii is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes magnetic fields and magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. Stimulating specific areas of the brain can help to cope with many mental health disorders, focusing on the brain regions that manage mood to improve regulatory function. It is a drug-free alternative to medication and antidepressants that can be utilized alongside many other forms of treatment for effective results.

There are also limited common side effects associated with this FDA-approved approach. While some discomfort on the scalp is common at the beginning of treatment, it is a safe and non-invasive therapeutic technique that is accessible and effective across a wide array of challenges. However, those with pacemakers, implanted metal plates, or who have a history of epilepsy or seizures will want to talk to a medical professional before exploring TMS in Hawaii.

Likewise, TMS is best used alongside other therapies and is not a replacement for continued therapy and healing opportunities. It is also not applicable for those currently experiencing panic or a manic episode, with crisis intervention being more appropriate to reach a state of emotional calm before considering TMS.

Signs You Might Benefit From TMS

While brain stimulation in TMS can be an effective option for overcoming depression, it is still a personalized approach to care. Some signs that TMS may benefit your unique journey include:

• Having tried antidepressants in the past and found little relief
• You have experienced negative side effects from medication, or have been averse to medication as a treatment modality for mental health disorders
• Continued symptoms of mental health disorders or being diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression after receiving treatment
• Difficulty managing emotions, mood, motivation, or focus in treatment

If you are attending active depression or mental health treatment with insufficient relief, especially if depression is continuing to impact daily life, personal responsibilities, or professional obligations, exploring TMS can be an option to add to your treatment plan for effective healing.

However, talking to a trained professional at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ about your unique journey with mental health disorders, treatment plan, and expectations for TMS in Hawaii is still recommended to ensure that you can set goals and expectations pertinent to your healing journey. TMS is not an overnight solution to depression or mental health needs. Rather, it is an extended program that takes time to help you activate parts of your brain that feel repressed or “stuck.” Being able to feel like yourself while having the skills to manage mental health crises can make you a great candidate for the benefits and advantages of TMS.

Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™'s Approach to TMS

TMS is just part of your overall healing journey and overall well-being. Engaging in TMS at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™ is part of our holistic healing program to address a variety of mental health needs and conditions. Combining TMS with ongoing psychotherapy and talking to psychiatry professionals about mental health needs and changes is still part of effective healing.

This holistic approach empowers you to address a collection of symptoms brought about by mental health disorders and the feelings of stress, trauma, or other core root causes of these challenges for truly transformative change.

Conditions Treated With TMS

TMS has had success in treating a wide variety of mental health conditions. These include:

• Major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

TMS can also be used as a part of ongoing treatment for those overcoming multiple challenges, such as a mental health disorder or trauma, alongside substance use disorder (SUD). Overcoming both a mental health disorder and SUD, called dual diagnosis, is incredibly challenging, but healing is always possible. Using a combination of therapies, holistic healing options, and having a community of professional and peer support available is instrumental in long-term success.TMS is a potential option for overcoming treatment-resistant depression while coping with the challenges of addiction recovery for a healthy, sober, and fulfilling daily life.

What to Expect From TMS in Hawaii

Committing to TMS in Hawaii can be an amazing opportunity in your personalized treatment plan. Knowing what to expect can ensure that you can make the most of this approach to change.

TMS sessions take place multiple times a week, with sessions lasting around 30 minutes each. During this time, you will be placed in a comfortable chair with a magnetic coil placed on the head, typically over the prefrontal cortex, that delivers magnetic pulses to target and stimulate specific areas of the brain for improved emotional regulation.

Throughout a TMS session, it is common to hear a loud clicking from the mechanism as it produces these magnetic pulses. While this is not a cause for concern, it can be distracting for those engaging in TMS, with some ear protection being provided or recommended to address the noise.

These sessions are typically conducted as part of outpatient treatment. At the end of a session, you will be able to return to daily life and normal activity immediately, making it minimally intrusive on daily routines and other responsibilities.

TMS in Hawaii can help continue to stabilize and maintain a healthy mood and emotional state for those overcoming depression, PTSD, and other challenges. However, you will have an opportunity to discuss the benefits of TMS or any necessary changes with a trained professional at each session, so you always have support available in overcoming mental health disorders and maintaining a healthy emotional state.

Benefits of Our TMS Therapy

Our TMS in Hawaii can offer several benefits in your healing journey. While no two people will necessarily respond to the treatment in the same way, TMS has been successful in not just treating mental health disorders, but also empowering those living with mental health disorders to build a sustainable and healthy daily life.

Improved Mood Within 2-3 Weeks After Initial TMS Treatment

While it may take some time to realize the benefits of TMS in your healing journey, it does typically result in improved mood within two or three weeks from the beginning of TMS sessions. This improvement can also further improve emotional resilience, not only helping you feel better but also making you more resistant to the effects of unexpected stresses, triggers, or other challenges that may occur to maintain a healthy daily life.

Treatment Under the Safety and Supervision of Licensed Clinicians

Each session is also conducted by caring, trained professionals to ensure safety and comfort in any helping program. This approach allows us to monitor progress while addressing concerns at any stage of healing, even while engaging in TMS. Having licensed clinicians available can also help field questions you have at any point, and provide a professional contact to address challenges and adjust your personalized treatment program to cater to your changing life and needs throughout healing from mental health disorders.

FAQs About TMS Therapy in Hawaii

How Much Does TMS Cost Per Session?

The cost of TMS or any other treatment program depends on several factors. Your personal insurance plan and coverages will change how much of the financial burden is covered. However, we are prepared to talk to you about any financial expectations and work with you to navigate the world of insurance so there are no surprises before beginning your first session.

Is There a Downside to TMS?

While there are limited risks of TMS, there are some downsides. First, like any other form of treatment, it is not guaranteed to be effective for everyone, and your experiences in TMS in Hawaii can vary from your peers. Its efficacy in another does not necessarily mean that you will have the same level of success. However, similarly, just because TMS did not produce results in someone else does not mean that it cannot be effective for you. TMS also does not produce immediate changes or results and takes time and commitment to benefit from.

While side effects are typically minimal and mild, they do exist. Discomfort around the head or scalp can be common during TMS sessions, or headaches during or just after a session.

TMS also takes a notable time commitment, with multiple sessions a week being common. Adjusting schedules to accommodate TMS in Hawaii may be required. Missing sessions can also result in the treatment being less effective, so making a plan to commit to this time is necessary to benefit from TMS in Hawaii.

Is It Hard to Get Approved for TMS?

Most insurances typically will not cover TMS if it is the first option being explored. Rather, many insurance providers will only consider TMS coverage after exploring other options, such as medicated options or other dedicated therapies. However, if these requirements are met and treatment-resistant depression continues, we will work with you to explore coverage for TMS in Hawaii.

Is TMS Safe?

Absolutely! TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy with minimal and minor side effects. While some discomfort can be associated with TMS sessions, these are typically temporary, with TMS carrying little risk to those using the therapy.

Can I Incorporate TMS Into an Existing Treatment Plan?

Yes! TMS is typically part of an otherwise comprehensive treatment plan and is not wholly a replacement for other forms of therapy. It can be combined with many outpatient treatment programs, medication, and holistic healing options for the most effective results. Talking to a professional about your unique needs, goals, and the most effective practices in your journey can help you find the combination of strategies that work best in your healing journey, incorporating TMS to further support effective change.

Can TMS Cause Anxiety?

While uncommon, TMS can bring feelings of anxiety, insomnia, irritation, or other emotional challenges. For some, this may only happen when first beginning TMS in Hawaii, with these symptoms soon subsiding and empowering a person to benefit from the practice. Although rare, feelings of depression when beginning TMS are also possible and typically also subside after a few sessions.

However, if a person continues to be resistant to TMS, talking to a professional about adjusting their treatment program may be necessary. TMS is not necessarily effective for everyone, and while it can be incredibly beneficial for some, your journey will always be unique. Talking to professionals after sessions, updating treatment plans, and adjusting to your needs and goals are all part of the healing process.

Depression and mental health disorders can affect every area of daily life, affecting not just your mood but also impeding your ability to tend to daily responsibilities, professional obligations, or even just go about your day. At Exclusive Hawaii Rehab™, we understand the need for options to overcome these challenges, with TMS being just one option available to personalize your healing journey. We blend evidence-based treatment modalities with holistic care, all backed by a community of peers and professionals on the luxurious island of Hawaii to ensure a unique and profound healing experience that stays with you for lasting change.
