THE VISION:
NEUROFEEDBACK

Addiction is a chronic condition that alters brain function, making recovery a complex process. Traditional treatments often include behavioral therapy and medication, but emerging research suggests that neurofeedback therapy—a form of biofeedback—can play a crucial role in addiction recovery by retraining brain activity.

UNDERSTANDING HOW NEUROFEEDBACK
WORKS

Neurofeedback also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive technique that monitors brainwave activity and provides real-time feedback to help individuals regulate their brain function. By reinforcing healthier brainwave patterns, neurofeedback can improve emotional regulation, impulse control, and cognitive function—key factors in overcoming addiction.

THE ROLE OF NEUROFEEDBACK IN RECOVERY

Addiction has disrupted the brain’s neurotransmitter systems, leading to compulsive substance use and impaired decision-making. Neurofeedback therapy helps restore balance by:

  • Regulating Brainwaves: It trains the brain to shift from dysregulated patterns associated with addiction to more stable, functional states.

  • Reducing Cravings and Impulsivity: Studies suggest that neurofeedback can decrease cravings and improve impulse control, making relapse less likely.

  • Enhancing Emotional Resilience: By improving self-regulation, neurofeedback helps individuals manage stress and emotional triggers that often lead to substance use.

MEDICAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTING NEUROFEEDBACK

Medical research highlights neurofeedback’s effectiveness as an adjunct treatment for addiction. According to experts, neurofeedback therapy has shown promise in treating conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders by promoting healthier brainwave patterns. Additionally, neurofeedback is non-invasive and does not rely on medication, making it a viable option for individuals seeking alternative recovery methods.

While neurofeedback is a promising tool, it is not a standalone treatment. Experts recommend using it alongside traditional therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication-assisted treatment, and peer support programs. More research is needed to optimize neurofeedback protocols and integrate them into mainstream addiction treatment.

NEUROFEEDBACK AND 12-STEP

​​

Many individuals drop out of 12-step due to frustration or emotional instability. By boosting self-regulation, neurofeedback increases the likelihood of sustained participation, reinforcing the benefits of peer accountability and shared recovery goals. By integrating neurofeedback with 12-step, individuals in recovery can build stronger relationships, improve emotional resilience, and enhance their overall life.

UNDERSTANDING HOW NEUROFEEDBACK
WORKS

Many individuals in recovery struggle with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity, which can hinder meaningful peer connections. Neurofeedback helps regulate brain activity, fostering emotional balance and making it easier to engage in supportive relationships.

THE ROLE OF NEUROFEEDBACK IN RECOVERY

​Addiction often disrupts cognitive function, leading to difficulties in concentration and communication. Neurofeedback sharpens focus and reduces mental fog, allowing individuals to participate more effectively in peer discussions and group therapy.

Reduces Stress and Triggers: Stress is a major relapse trigger. Neurofeedback trains the brain to respond more calmly to stressors, helping individuals stay present and engaged in peer support settings rather than withdrawing due to emotional distress.
