Addiction and the brain​

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is highly effective for addiction treatment and recovery. It is used to treat addiction to substances such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis, alcohol, crystal meth, opiates, speed, ketamine, MDMA, morphine, methadone, painkillers, sleeping pills, and other street and prescription drugs.

PBM reduces cravings and anxiety while promoting a sense of enhanced well-being. It does this by painlessly stimulating the release of endorphins without causing any side effects.

Clinical studies in the United States in 2013 demonstrated that applying photobiomodulation to the prelimbic area of the prefrontal cortex can stop cravings for compulsive drug use (Bonci NIDA 2013).

Techniques such as transcranial photobiomodulation have been widely used in many treatment centers across North America and have been proven to reduce compulsive drug-seeking behavior in patients.

Benefits of Photobiomodulation for Addiction

  • Reduction or elimination of withdrawal and craving symptoms.

PBM offers a holistic and side-effect-free approach to treating addiction, addressing both the physical and psychological challenges of recovery.

Harm reduction addiction treatment

Addiction often has a subtle yet profound impact on your body, affecting not only its appearance but also its internal functions. The energy you need to manage daily life, both physically and mentally, is generated by cellular organelles throughout your body.

Addiction to alcohol or drugs can deplete this energy, leaving your cellular organelles overworked and in need of support and strengthening. These organelles, known as mitochondria, are delicate and can sustain damage over time.

During this treatment, we focus on the frontal lobe structures of the brain and combine it with the treatment of the abdominal cavity.

The frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, emotions, impulse control, problem-solving, social interaction, and motor skills.

The abdominal cavity contains most of the digestive system, including the liver and pancreas, as well as the spleen, kidneys, and adrenal glands located above the kidneys. By addressing both the brain and the abdominal region, this treatment provides a comprehensive approach to recovery and healing.
