The Truth About Addiction

Substance Use Disorders are viewed as primary, chronic diseases of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.

Are There Underlying Issues?

People who struggle with substance use disorders often begin or continue using because they have underlying, or co-occurring symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms or PTSD. Continued use also exacerbates the symptoms of these conditions. This can make remaining abstinent very difficult.

Can Neurofeedback Help?

Studies have shown that abstinence rates can be improved using Neurofeedback, making Neurofeedback a modality that both compliments and enhances the efficacy of recovery programs for substance use disorders.
