EEG Biofeedback (neurofeedback) training and counseling help for drug abuse

The latest in drug addiction treatment is EEG Biofeedback!

EEG Biofeedback (neurofeedback) training help for drug abuse, alcoholism and dual diagnosis such as panic attacks and eating disorders.

Learning to change your brainwaves in response to drug abuse and alcoholic cravings and stress can dramatically increase your probability of sustained sobriety and enhance your quality of life. This can mean the difference between true success and the revolving door of relapse. A double blind study of mixed substance abusers (drug addicts and alcoholics) who received 12-step residential addiction treatment was published in the 2005 in "The American Journal of Drugs and Alcohol Abuse".

 

Biofeedback training can double the chances of sobriety!

When the EEG biofeedback group who also received a total of 40-50 biofeedback sessions “were assessed at 12 months, 36 of 47 (77%) were abstinent”.

In the control group who received 12-step residential drug abuse and alcoholism addiction treatment alone, only “12 of 27 (44%) were abstinent” a year later. This neuro (EEG) and biofeedback training protocol nearly doubled the chances of sobriety a year after treatment. Also the biofeedback group “remained in treatment significantly longer than the control group.” The researchers found that “46% of the control group dropped out of treatment, compared to only 24% of those who received biofeedback”.

Before biofeedback training, recovering alcoholics and drug addicts remained at risk for relapse especially during their first year. Until their addiction relapse triggers have been addressed directly, they can unexpectedly experience sudden, overwhelming and often unconscious drug and alcohol cravings that last from minutes to days causing most to relapse.

 

Biofeedback training for substance abuse is simple and fun!

Just relax during the EEG biofeedback training sessions and let your brain do all the work!

You’ll experience the program in a series of stages. They’re so easy to do; all the stages are done with a computer and a few safe sensors (called electrodes) that are painlessly placed on your skin and scalp to measure your temperature, heart rate, breathing and your brainwaves.

 

Biofeedback electrodes only measure brain activity!

It is important that you know that the biofeedback training electrodes are painlessly attached to your scalp, ear and skin to measure only the electrical activity in your brain.

Nothing is introduced into your brain through them; it’s a one-way information highway leading from you to our special computer. This tells us your brain’s electrical activity so we can help you retrain your brain not to behave in destructive ways. It’s very similar to physical exercise using gym equipment – the machine only helps your muscles do the work correctly; it doesn’t do it for you. You’re basically playing a kind of video game using only your brain. As you achieve certain relaxation states you’ll get a visual and auditory reward. It’s simple and fun!

 

Understanding how the biofeedback training program works!

The entire biofeedback training program consists of 20-40 sessions in 3 phases that are safe and easy.

1. The Assessment Phase
2. The Relaxation Phase
3. Alpha Theta Desensitization Phase

During your Assessment Phase, technicians begin with a comprehensive assessment of the condition of your brain’s electrical activity, from which your individualized program will be developed. It consists of a map of your brainwaves (called a qEEG) which show any imbalances in activity, simple interview questions, and a stress profile to measure your body’s response to training.

As you enter the biofeedback Relaxation Phase, technicians now can develop your own customized biofeedback training plan. This includes teaching visualization skills plus brain and body relaxation techniques to help reduce stress, anxiety, depression and improve sleep. You will also make your own personalized biofeedback audio CD to help you sleep. As you relax to your customized biofeedback CD each night, it will hasten your relaxation training, and of course you will take it home with you when you graduate from Dr. Willa’s House.

The next biofeedback Phase is Alpha Theta Desensitization to prevent relapse. During alpha theta brainwaves, you are in the most suggestible state so you can easily learn how to decrease your brain and body’s response to drug and alcohol related triggers. Alpha theta brainwaves occur in the twilight state between deeply relaxed and sleeping, also called the hypnogogic state. During these suggestible brainwaves, you can easily learn how to relax so you can stop your body’s response to these dangerous triggers in order to eliminate cravings and prevent relapse.

This biofeedback training program is based on strong scientific evidence and studies conducted by major universities. So, you know it works. And although the equipment is easy to use, it is state-of-the-art to ensure that your brain and body are effectively responding to your training program.

 

EEG biofeedback training program options!

All of 3 phases in 40 individual sessions, your customized CD and your qEEG for only $3,750!

That’s only $94 per session. The qEEG alone is a $1000 value. If you’re on a tight budget, we can offer you all of 3 phases in 20 individual sessions, your customized CD and your qEEG for only $2,500 (only $125 per session)!

Once you leave our facility, your relationship with Dr. Willa’s House doesn’t have to end ─ our EEG biofeedback training program is recommended for a full year of continuing care. Arrangements will be made for you to receive sessions either by returning to Dr. Willa’s House as an “outpatient” or, if you live far away, by a technician where you live or using a home-training unit through the Internet.

Phase 4 is optional outpatient EEG biofeedback training from your home, Dr. Willa’s House, Transitional Living or Sober Living. At Dr. Willa’s House this aftercare outpatient EEG biofeedback training is only $1,000 a month.

You’ve made a huge commitment to your alcoholism and drug abuse sobriety just by choosing to be in an addiction recovery environment. We strongly recommend you give yourself every possible chance to succeed, by adding EEG biofeedback training to the addiction treatment plan.
