Substance Use & Addiction
Substance Use & Addiction Recovery with Genesis TMS
Unlike traditional psychiatry, Genesis TMS goes beyond surface-level symptoms by using advanced neuroscience and brain mapping to target the root causes of addiction. Our personalized approach helps identify the neurological imbalances that contribute to compulsive behaviors—giving you a clearer path toward healing and lasting change.
What Is Addiction?
Substance Use Disorder (SUD)—commonly referred to as addiction—is a chronic condition involving the compulsive use of substances such as alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription medications. Addiction rewires the brain’s reward system, making it harder to experience pleasure in healthy ways and much harder to quit—even when faced with damaging consequences.
At Genesis TMS, we believe addiction is not a personal failure—it’s a neurological and biochemical disruption that can be effectively addressed with personalized, brain-based care.
Who Is Affected by Addiction?
Addiction does not discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life:
- Nearly 1 million adolescents (ages 12–17)
- Over 5 million young adults (ages 18–25)
- More than 13 million adults (ages 26 and older)
- Even 1 million seniors (ages 65 and up)

The Genesis TMS Difference
Unlike one-size-fits-all programs, Genesis TMS identifies six unique neurological addiction profiles and develops personalized recovery plans based on brain function, emotional regulation, and behavioral triggers.
Our non-invasive brain mapping tools help pinpoint underactive or overactive areas in the brain’s impulse control, emotional, and decision-making centers. This allows us to treat addiction at the root—not just the surface.
Why Brain Health Matters in Addiction
In addiction, the brain’s reward circuit (limbic system and nucleus accumbens) becomes overactive, while the prefrontal cortex—responsible for self-control and judgment—becomes underactive. This imbalance drives compulsive behavior and weakens decision-making.
Genesis TMS uses advanced brain modulation (including TMS, neurofeedback, and targeted supplements) to restore this balance—giving clients a real chance at breaking the cycle of relapse.
Six Brain-Based Types of Addiction
Compulsive Type
- Gets “stuck” on substance-related thoughts
- Trouble shifting gears or letting go
- Driven by low serotonin and overactive anterior cingulate cortex
Impulsive Type
- Struggles with self-control and focus
- Frequently regrets decisions made on impulse
- Linked to low dopamine and underactive prefrontal cortex
Impulsive-Compulsive Type
- A mix of Types 1 and 2
- Highly vulnerable to relapse, especially under stress
- Often hereditary in families with addiction history
Emotional/Sad Type
- Uses substances to medicate sadness, loneliness, or boredom
- High limbic system activity and low prefrontal engagement
- More common in women
Anxious Type
- Uses alcohol, pain meds, or marijuana to reduce anxiety
- Experiences excessive fear, physical tension, and avoidance
- Basal ganglia hyperactivity, low GABA levels
Temporal Lobe Type
- Suffers from mood swings, irritability, and memory issues
- Often has a history of head trauma, toxins, or seizures
- Temporal lobe dysfunction is a key contributor
