How Can I Break Out of This Cycle?
Substance Use Disorders are recognized as chronic, primary conditions that affect the brain’s reward, motivation, memory, and related circuitry.
When these circuits become dysfunctional, it triggers a range of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual symptoms.
This often results in an individual compulsively seeking reward or relief through unhealthy behaviors, reinforcing the cycle of substance use.
A Substance Use Disorder ranges in severity from mild to severe.
The duration and frequency of use and people's experiences while using affect the brain’s structure and functioning.

Are There Underlying Issues?
Many people who struggle with recovery may begin or continue substance use due to underlying or co-occurring issues such as mental stress, negative moods, trauma, or post-traumatic symptoms. Unfortunately, continued use often worsens these conditions, making it even harder to maintain abstinence.
Can Neurofeedback Help?
Research shows that Neurofeedback can improve abstinence rates, making it a valuable complement to traditional recovery programs for substance use disorders. Neurofeedback enhances the effectiveness of recovery efforts by addressing the brain's underlying imbalances.
