Unlock Your Brain’s Potential for Lasting Recovery with Neurofeedback

Heal from within. Achieve greater calm, clarity, and control on your journey to lasting sobriety.

At West LA Recovery, we are dedicated to providing the most advanced and effective therapies to support your comprehensive recovery journey. We are proud to offer Neurofeedback, a cutting-edge, non-invasive brain training technique that empowers you to overcome challenges, reduce cravings, and cultivate a more resilient, balanced mind. Integrated into our holistic treatment approach, Neurofeedback can significantly enhance your ability to maintain sobriety and improve your overall quality of life.

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG Biofeedback, is a powerful form of brain training that helps you learn to self-regulate your brain function. Using sophisticated technology, we measure your brainwave activity in real-time. This information is then presented back to you, often through a visual or auditory display (like a video game or a movie).

As you watch or listen, your brain receives instant feedback on its own activity. Through this process, your brain learns to adjust its patterns, promoting healthier, more balanced brainwave states. It’s like exercising a muscle – with consistent training, your brain becomes stronger and more efficient at regulating itself, leading to profound and lasting positive changes.

How Neurofeedback Supports Your Recovery:

Substance use and mental health challenges often involve dysregulated brainwave patterns. Neurofeedback directly addresses these imbalances, helping to retrain your brain for optimal function. For those in recovery, Neurofeedback can:
  • Reduce Cravings & Withdrawal Symptoms: By stabilizing brain activity, Neurofeedback can significantly lessen the intensity of cravings and ease the discomfort of withdrawal, making early recovery more manageable.
  • Improve Emotional Regulation: Learn to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood swings that often trigger relapse.
  • Enhance Focus & Cognitive Function: Improve concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities, essential skills for navigating life in sobriety.
  • Promote Deeper Relaxation & Sleep: Achieve more restful sleep and reduce overall tension, vital for physical and mental restoration during recovery.
  • Build Resilience & Self-Regulation: Strengthen your brain’s natural ability to cope with triggers and maintain a calm, centered state.
  • Address Co-Occurring Mental Health Issues: Effectively alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD that often accompany addiction.
  • Support Long-Term Sobriety: By creating healthier neural pathways, Neurofeedback helps to solidify the gains made in therapy and reduces the likelihood of relapse.

Meet Our Partner: Dr. Lori Burri, PhD

We are proud to partner with Dr. Lori Burri, President of Optimal Brain Neurofeedback. With a Ph.D. in Psychology specializing in Neuroscience and Trauma, Dr. Burri is a passionate advocate for brain-based therapies.

What to Expect During a Neurofeedback Session:

During a typical Neurofeedback session, comfortable sensors will be placed on your scalp. These sensors are non-invasive and simply read your brainwave activity – nothing is put into your brain. You’ll then relax in a comfortable chair while watching a monitor that displays your brainwave patterns, often in the form of a video game, movie, or abstract visuals. As your brain produces desired brainwave states, you’ll receive positive feedback, gently guiding your brain toward healthier patterns. Sessions are relaxing and typically last 30-60 minutes.
