The treatment offered by Newline to overcome cocaine addiction is completely innovative. It implements a technology that has been used for years to treat depression and has now been proven to work for people addicted to cocaine.
The treatment is performed with a machine that emits a completely painless repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Through a coil placed near the patient’s head, magnetic waves are sent directly to the part of the brain that acts on the addiction, activating the neurons in the areas that control the desire to consume cocaine and restoring their original functionality before their addiction to it.
Newline’s treatment has proven to be very effective in eliminating craving, which is one of the most difficult aspects to overcome in any addict.
This decrease in craving, accompanied by advanced motivational psychotherapy techniques (both fundamental pillars of treatment), allows the vast majority of patients to be able to quit cocaine within 3 months.
How does Newline’s Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment differ from other addiction treatments?
First of all, the treatment employed by Newline is the only one that uses a technology that acts directly on the part of the brain that controls the craving for cocaine. It is a completely painless, safe treatment with very fast results.
The treatment is ambulatory, thus avoiding hospital admission, which is much more economical than any other treatment where the patient has to be admitted. In addition, this allows the patient to continue with their daily activities, such as continuing their workday without any problem. Also, the patient can be accompanied at all times by their loved ones, providing them with security and motivation.
At Newline, each patient is treated individually because each situation is different and must be approached in a personalized manner, hence no strict rules of behavior are applied. The patient is always the protagonist of his or her recovery and the treatment is adapted by the Psychiatry specialist to each person.
The most significant advantage of rTMS treatment is its speed and effectiveness. Patients feel significant changes as early as the second or third day, which has not been seen with any other traditional treatment.
What does Newline’s cocaine addiction treatment consist of?
Treatment begins with a case study to gain a thorough understanding of how the addiction has affected you physically and psychologically.
This is followed by the initial intensive phase that lasts for a week, where the patient will be required to come to the center for two hours every day for 5 days in a row. Here he will undergo intensive treatment with rTMS, psychotherapeutic sessions and medical evaluations.
Once the first intensive week is over, the patient will only have to return once a week for the next three months.
