For those seeking new and innovative treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD), promising breakthroughs continue to emerge. Recently, BrainsWay reported positive independent pilot data showcasing the effectiveness of accelerated Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a treatment option for AUD. This data sheds light on a potential solution that could revolutionize addiction therapy.
Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions associated with mental health and neurological disorders. Unlike traditional treatments, Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, offering an alternative for individuals who haven’t responded to other therapies. Now, new research suggests it may also address the challenges of alcohol addiction.
In a recent independent pilot study, accelerated Deep TMS demonstrated encouraging results for individuals struggling with alcohol use disorder. While further large-scale studies are needed, these findings represent a critical step forward in developing accessible and effective treatments for addiction.
BrainsWay continues to lead the way in innovative brain-based therapies, proving that science and technology can provide hope where traditional methods have fallen short.

Alcohol use disorder is a widespread condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Traditional treatments such as therapy, medication, and rehabilitation programs often work, but they don’t guarantee success for everyone. Accelerated Deep TMS offers a non-invasive, science-driven alternative, opening up new opportunities for those seeking recovery.
As this research progresses, it brings hope to individuals and families impacted by AUD, showing that innovation can drive meaningful change in mental health care.
The pilot data from BrainsWay is a promising start, and we’re excited to see how further studies develop. For now, accelerated Deep TMS remains an exciting frontier in addiction treatment—one that could transform the landscape for alcohol use disorder recovery.

"Their entire team is FABULOUS. They have always treated me with dignity and respect. I have watched them with other clients as well and I see their genuine compassion for everyone that walks thru the door. I initially went to them because I moved to CO in late 2017 and they were the first place that had an opening. I needed a psychiatrist to keep me on my Rx. I was surprised when Dr Park spent more than 15 mins going over my past Rx history with me, as has been my experience for many years. Not only did we discuss Rx, he then spent another 45 mins talking to me as a counselor. I had never had a psychiatrist/counselor combo before and was amazed at how effective it is when your Dr hears more about what's going in your life than just the effects of your current Rx. This treatment model is not practiced by someone that doesn't care about his patients. He could offer the basics that most psychiatrists offer and still bill insurance the same amount but he wants his patients to succeed and is invested in their progress. He also doesn't believe in keeping someone in therapy forever. Even if it means less income for him, when you stabilize to the point that you have better things to do than spend 30 mins with him, it's a sign that you may be ready to engage in therapy less often and he will tell you that. Dr Park has been a life and marriage saver for me and he is amazingly efficient. He gets done in 1-2 sessions what would take 6 months for another counselor because he doesn't dance around the issues. To do this, he may be more blunt with you than you might have experienced before and that may be off putting to some. If you are ready to do the hard work to make your life enjoyable again, Dr Park is your man! He also got me hooked up with TMS. If you are someone that has struggled with depression for a long time and taken Rx that hasn't been effective, talk to someone about TMS. It's a game changer. It may sound like hokey fake science. It's not. It works and works fast. THANK YOU!"
