Stairway believed in me before I believed in myself.

Stairway has changed my life in ways I could not explain! All the staff there have experience with addiction and were able to help me based on their schooling and their experience. It has been a year and a half since I admitted into Stairway. I was broken, homeless, looking at a long term prison sentence, and thought I was a gangster. Now I am employed, go to school, sponsor women and give back to the community, and I am a free women and a productive member of society. Stairway believed in me before I believed in myself. They are the only treatment center that truly cares for addicts and not your money. They have a community that has the strongest bond that you will not find anywhere. And Michael Lynch has a heart of GOLD. He is a true member of Narcotics Anonymous and is so kind and loving to addicts everywhere. I am truly grateful for this program and that is why I continue to stick around even though I completed. I love Stairway.

FAQsAbout Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Addiction Recovery

TMS is a non-invasive, drug-free brain stimulation therapy that uses magnetic fields to deliver pulses to specific regions of the brain, notably the prefrontal cortex, which is a key player in mood and behavior regulation. The magnetic pulses stimulate brain activity and can potentially alter the way the brain functions, giving temporary relief to feelings of depression and anxiety, which often go hand-in-hand with addiction. TMS can also help you reduce drug cravings, fight triggers, and create a more positive outlook by boosting your mood.

TMS is generally considered to be a safe therapy with rare side effects. However, some people may experience short-term discomfort, like mild headaches after sessions or discomfort at the treatment site. In rare cases, jaw pain or facial muscle twitching may be experienced. It’s also important to note that TMS may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of seizures, medical implants, or specific conditions like brain tumors, you may not be able to receive TMS treatment. Always make sure to disclose a complete medical history to your care team before starting any kind of treatment.
