Neurofeedback for Drug and Alcohol Treatment
What is Neurofeedback
To educate the brain to be more adaptive, effective and operative Neurofeedback or EEG Biofeedback employs our premature biological mechanisms, self-regulation and homeostasis. Neurotherapy can help develop a number of things including addiction recovery. Inspire Malibu tackles the fundamental issues of addiction called comorbidities (also known as dual diagnosis) and we don’t just emphasize addiction recovery. The practice of getting sober can be very taxing and the portions of the brain that warrant a logical answer are circumvented under these tense situations. Resolutions are then constructed upon apprehension. This is predominantly evident in the initial periods of recovery, impairing an addicts capability to absorb and employ the keys learned in rehab. Neurofeedback helps to develop the reactive brain into one that is interactive.
Neurofeedback Therapy
As well as addiction recovery, Inspire Malibu goes a step further and tackles the core issues of dependence. These fundamental concerns known as comorbidities or Dual Diagnosis are handled through our neurofeedback program. It’s imperative to take notice of the motivating problems, as they can create barriers to recovery. For Example, our program at Inspire Malibu utilizes one on one therapy as well as group therapy and if someone is suffering from panic attacks or anxiety it will be difficult for them to participate thus hindering their recovery. Aiding the healing process of these underlying issues releases the freshly sober to be more present and receptive for the drug and alcohol rehab program. This relates not only to drug and alcohol addiction, it applies to a mired of dependencies.

Neurofeedback Treatment
The first step in your neurofeedback treatment is the evaluation. In order to reach your goals we will ask you 90 questions so that we may develop your specific procedure. In the succeeding sittings you will be asked further inquiries in order toperfect your protocol and track your growth.
In the second step we will place sensors on your ears and scalp. Nothing goes into the brain. The sensors simply gather the electrical activities that derive from your brain. 2 or 3 sensor variations may transpire but your session will total no more than 30 minutes.
The third step is where you will observe the fractal images paying attention to the graph that is displayed on the computer screen. The system will give you feedback every 2 minutes letting you know how to increase your score. The neurofeedback system will also let you know when you are in a seamless poise of composed concentration.
Does Neurofeedback Work?
Many studies have been conducted and scientists theorize that the brain desires to balance knowledge more than genes since development and size limit the design of the brain. If we were to calculate the total quantity of neurons produced throughout brain maturity both before and after birth we would discover twice as many neurons are generated that eventually inhabit the developed brain. Basically when the brain is maturing, neurons are vying to live and when not used they are gone.
