At Florida Oasis Residential Mental Health, we understand that traditional treatments for depression don’t work for everyone. That’s why we support advanced, evidence-based therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to help individuals find relief from treatment-resistant depression.
TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. During treatment, repetitive magnetic pulses are delivered to nerve cells in the brain; this is known as repetitive TMS, or rTMS.
This cutting-edge therapy is typically recommended when antidepressant medications or talk therapy have not been effective. TMS has been shown to improve symptoms of major depressive disorder, especially in individuals who have struggled with long-term depression.
How We Support TMS Treatment at Florida Oasis
While TMS itself is administered by a specialized provider off-site, Florida Oasis Residential Mental Health offers both screening and referral coordination as part of our holistic approach to care. Clients receiving inpatient treatment with us can undergo evaluation for TMS and, if appropriate, receive TMS treatment, all while continuing to receive therapeutic and clinical support in our structured residential setting.
Why Consider TMS?
- FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression
- Noninvasive, with no anesthesia or sedation required
- Minimal side effects compared to medication
- Can be safely combined with psychotherapy and other mental health services
At Florida Oasis, we are committed to helping you explore every option in your recovery journey. If you or a loved one is struggling with depression and traditional treatments haven’t worked, ask our team about TMS screening and whether it might be the right next step.
