TMS to Improve Recovery Outcomes Among Patients With Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Summary

The study aims to explore the potential of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), particularly Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), as an adjunctive treatment to enhance recovery outcomes (consumption and craving; withdrawal symptoms; mental, physical, sleep, and cognitive health; engagement with therapy, etc.) in individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). This project will be completed in partnership with Another Chance Rehab (Portland): Portland's top addiction treatment program offering evidence-based treatment programs for a range of substance use disorders. Another Chance Rehab will serve as the project site for this work.

Detailed Description

The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To identify which TMS protocol is most efficacious, there will be three arms to this study. 1. Treatment as Usual (TAU): Participants complete their regularly scheduled therapy activities and receive no add-on TMS. They will answer the demographic survey and outcome measure surveys (listed in a later section). 2. TAU + 3-minute TMS: Participants complete TAU as described above, with one 3-minute session of TMS TBS delivered each morning, prior to commencement of their regularly scheduled daily therapy activities, for 5 days/week, for a total of four-weeks (20 sessions total). 3. TAU + 9-minute TMS: Participants complete TAU as described above, with one 9-minute session of TMS TBS delivered each morning, prior to commencement of their regularly scheduled daily therapy activities, for 5 days/week, for a total of four-weeks (20 sessions total).
