Provided are a method and system for using hypnosis to induce a brain to enter a deep sleep pattern so as to cause the quantity of dopamine receptors (15) of a brain cell to increase rapidly to the level it was at prior to drug addiction (the quantity of normal dopamine receptors (15) of the brain cell) and thereby overcome the drug addiction, comprising using an electromagnetic field (18) to modulate the sleep excitation region (7) of the brain (1), causing the brain (1) to change from an awake pattern to a sleep pattern, and also comprising using or producing the effect of the electromagnetic field (18) on the sleep excitation region (7) of the brain (1), inducing the sleep excitation region (7) to increase excitation and thereby suppress the waking excitation region (4) of the brain (1); thus the inhibitory effect of the waking excitation region (4) of the brain (1) on the thalamic reticular nucleus (41) is suppressed and blocked, inducing the thalamic reticular nucleus (41) to release a sleep hormone to the excitation regions of the whole brain and causing the brain (1) to change from an awake pattern to a sleep pattern; also comprised is monitoring the degree to which the drug addiction flares up so as to control the start of the hypnosis effect, and further comprised is measuring the depth of sleep to automatically start, stop, and restart the hypnosis effect in order to maintain a desired or set depth of sleep during a process of hypnosis to overcome drug addiction.
