Neurofeedback Therapy

Elevate Your Recovery Journey with Neurofeedback Therapy

Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center is proud to offer our clients neurofeedback therapy as part of our comprehensive treatment program for substance abuse and mental health issues. Administered by Dr. Carl Schwartz, Ph.D. and J.D., neurofeedback therapy enables clients to tap into their brain’s innate ability to regulate and optimize itself.

Understanding Neurofeedback and Brainwave Therapy

Neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback, is a noninvasive therapy where sensors on your scalp connect to a computer program. This program evaluates your brainwave activity and uses sound or visual signals to reorganize suboptimal brain signals.

WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?

Neurofeedback is a noninvasive therapeutic intervention in which sensors are attached to your scalp, and the sensors are attached to a computer program. The program assesses your brainwave activity, and then it uses sound or visual signals to reorganize and retrain your brain signals that are not working optimally. Through this process, clients are able to regulate and improve their brain function, and in turn, they find relief from various neurological and mental health disorders. Neurofeedback is especially useful for treating such conditions as:

Stress, Anxiety and Panic
Depression
Sleep issues
ADHD
PTSD
Bipolar
Substance Abuse Disorders

DOES NEUROFEEDBACK WORK?

Clients at Scottsdale Providence Recovery Center are having great success with neurofeedback treatment. Overwhelmingly, they report benefits such as:

Feeling calmer and more peaceful
Improved sleep
Reduced anger and fear
Greater ability to focus and relax
Greater emotional stability

When you feel more at ease with yourself and the world, you can better take advantage of the other recovery services we offer. This makes neurofeedback training a wonderful complement to the other treatments services we offer, such as individual and group counseling.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING NEUROFEEDBACK TRAINING?

Neurofeedback therapy at Scottsdale Providence typically consists of once-a-week sessions. Some clients need fewer sessions, while others may need more.

What Does a Typical Session Look Like?

You’ll sit, and the therapist will attach sensors to your scalp. The sensors are attached to a computer. As you watch content on the screen, the sensors send data about your brainwave function to the computer, including information on which areas of your brain aren’t functioning properly or working well together. While your brain receives feedback signals from the computer, the EEG program directs your brainwave activity to optimal, regulated patterns. These pulses “reboot” the brain and train it to function in healthier, more efficient ways.

Neurofeedback works

The brain is flexible and dynamic; with neurofeedback training, your brain’s structure can actually change in ways that allow it to operate better. Over time, regular neurofeedback training actually changes the brain. As your brainwave patterns improve over time, you should notice some or all of the benefits outlined above, including reduced stress, better sleep, greater emotional stability and improved mental clarity.
