At Enterhealth, we use Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) as part of a comprehensive, medically driven approach to healing the brain and body. By combining MeRT with evidence-based therapy, advanced diagnostics, and personalized medication management, we help patients achieve real, lasting progress—especially those struggling with treatment-resistant mental health and substance use conditions. MeRT supports recovery by helping patients feel clearer, calmer, and more focused—without the need for medication.
MAGNETIC E-RESONANCE THERAPY (MeRT)
Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) at Enterhealth
Precision-driven brain therapy to support healing, stabilize mood, improve clarity, and enhance recovery outcomes.
What Is MeRT?
An advanced evolution of TMS therapy.
Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is a personalized, data-driven TMS approach guided by EEG and ECG findings. Like traditional transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), MeRT uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain—but with one critical difference: MeRT tailors frequency, intensity, and stimulation location based on individual brainwave patterns. While standard TMS therapy relies on a one-size-fits-all protocol, MeRT is informed by a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG).
These diagnostic tools map brain function and identify areas of dysregulation, allowing our medical team to develop a fully customized treatment plan. This level of precision often results in better outcomes and fewer side effects—especially for patients who haven’t responded to other therapies.
The result is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy grounded in neuroscience and designed to optimize brain function.
What Can MeRT Help Treat?
Targeted treatment for complex mental health conditions and addiction.
MeRT is a highly individualized, non-invasive brain therapy that can help regulate neural activity associated with a range of mental health and neurological concerns. At Enterhealth, we use MeRT as part of an integrated approach to treat:
Anxiety Disorders
MeRT helps calm overactive brain patterns linked to generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and other forms of chronic worry. Many patients report feeling more grounded, focused, and emotionally balanced. 8
Cognitive Issues
From brain fog and memory problems to attention difficulties, MeRT supports cognitive function by improving communication between regions of the brain involved in focus, recall, and executive function. 10
Sleep & Stress Regulation
Sleep issues and chronic stress are common symptoms across many mental health conditions. MeRT has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration by regulating abnormal brainwave activity tied to disrupted sleep cycles. It can also help decrease physiological stress, promoting a greater sense of calm and emotional stability throughout the day. 11

Real Results from Enterhealth’s MeRT Program
Validated outcomes, low attrition, and meaningful improvement.
Enterhealth presents findings from a four-year retrospective review of patients who received Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) as part of its residential addiction treatment program at Enterhealth Ranch. This program integrates MeRT—a personalized form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—with pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and wellness strategies to target the neurobiological disruptions underlying substance use disorders (SUDs).
Among patients who completed treatment, results showed significant gains across all four domains of the Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (substance use, health, lifestyle, and community), with overall recovery scores nearly doubling (94% increase) from intake to discharge. Participants also reported marked reductions in anxiety (49%), depression (65%), anger (66%), and pain (39%) during treatment. These findings highlight how precision neuromodulation, when paired with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, can substantially improve recovery outcomes and strengthen patient retention in addiction treatment.
Depression: 65% reduction
Anxiety: 49% reduction
Anger: 66% reduction
Pain: 39% reduction
Critically, 85% of patients completed their full MeRT protocol—a significantly higher retention rate than typically seen in conventional inpatient programs.
If you’re considering MeRT for depression, PTSD, or as part of a comprehensive recovery plan, our clinical team can help determine if this non-invasive therapy is right for you.

What to Expect from MeRT at Enterhealth
A fully guided experience, from diagnostics to results.
Using your brain and heart data, our physicians create a customized MeRT protocol designed to target the specific areas of your brain that need support—adjusting frequency, intensity, and stimulation location for optimal effect.
Initial Brain Mapping
Your MeRT experience begins with a comprehensive assessment, including a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and electrocardiogram (EKG). These tests help us identify patterns of brainwave dysregulation and establish a baseline for your personalized treatment.
Custom Protocol Development
Using your brain and heart data, our physicians create a customized MeRT protocol designed to target the specific areas of your brain that need support—adjusting frequency, intensity, and stimulation location for optimal effect.
What to Expect During MeRT Treatment
Most patients undergo daily MeRT sessions five days a week for four to six weeks. Each session lasts about 30 minutes and is non-invasive and painless. Throughout treatment, our clinical team tracks your progress using brainwave data and symptom reports, making adjustments as needed to ensure the protocol remains effective.
All MeRT therapy at Enterhealth is delivered under the supervision of licensed medical professionals with specialized training in psychiatry, neurology, and addiction medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions About MeRT & TMS Therapy
How is MeRT different from traditional TMS therapy?
TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) is an FDA-approved technology that has been used for over 20 years to treat depression and other conditions. MeRT is a proprietary treatment protocol that uses this same TMS machine—but with one key difference: it’s guided by your individual brainwave data.
Using a quantitative EEG (qEEG), our team identifies your brain’s optimal frequency and creates a customized stimulation plan, rather than relying on the “standard” or average frequency used in traditional TMS. This personalized approach allows for more precise targeting, potentially leading to greater effectiveness and fewer side effects.
Is MeRT FDA-approved?
MeRT uses TMS technology, which is FDA-approved for depression and other conditions. The customized, data-guided protocol used in MeRT is considered an off-label enhancement—but it is safe, non-invasive, and overseen by licensed medical professionals.
Is MeRT safe? Are there side effects?
MeRT is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that is considered very safe. It does not involve sedation, medication, or any surgical procedures, and there’s no downtime required.
Most patients experience no side effects, though some may notice mild fatigue or scalp sensitivity during the first few sessions. Overall, MeRT is a gentle, well-tolerated treatment with a strong safety profile.
How long does it take to see results?
Many patients begin to notice improvements in mood, clarity, and sleep within the first two weeks. For others, it may take longer. A full MeRT protocol typically spans four to six weeks of daily sessions, with ongoing monitoring to track progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Ready to Take the Next Step in Treatment?
MeRT is one of many advanced tools we use to support brain healing, emotional balance, and long-term recovery. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction—and haven’t found relief with traditional approaches—our clinical team can help determine whether MeRT could play a role in your personalized treatment plan.
