West Allis clinic adopting a new approach for treating smoking addiction

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Relief Mental Health, an outpatient mental health provider, announced in a press release on Thursday, April 6, that it is expanding its services in the Milwaukee area by offering transcranial magnetic stimulation for smoking addiction at its West Allis location.

The treatment utilizes BrainsWay Deep TMS technology, the only non-invasive medical device cleared by the FDA for smoking cessation.

Relief Mental Health says that smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability and death in the United States, costing individuals thousands of dollars each year.

Deep TMS employs electromagnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in the brain, helping to reduce tobacco cravings and enhance cognitive control.

In addition to smoking cessation, Deep TMS is reportedly FDA approved for treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxious depression.

Relief Mental Health also offers psychedelic therapy, including the FDA-approved prescription nasal spray SPRAVATO for the treatment of depression and/or suicidal thoughts or actions. To inquire about a free confidential assessment, call (855) 205-4764.
