Gulf Breeze Recovery Introduces Neurofeedback for Guests

Non-12 Step Holistic Addiction Treatment Center Introduces New Technology for Rehab

Gulf Breeze Recovery, a non 12 step substance abuse treatment facility has introduced a powerful new tool to be used in conjunction with their innovative nontraditional treatment program, a neurofeedback system called BrainPaint.


BrainPaint is the top choice for neurofeedback programs among mental health providers and is a welcome addition to Gulf Breeze Recovery’s program. Multiple studies have shown that use of neurofeedback programs, particularly when used along with a powerful recovery program, can dramatically increase abstinence rates. Neurofeedback works with the basic operational functions of the brain and can be used to help guide guests towards longer lasting health and mental balance. It is often used in patients with sleep disorders and insomnia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Participants have been shown to better tolerate stress, anxiety and anxiety eliciting situations, which has immense benefits for those in the early stages of recovery. 

 

The therapists at Gulf Breeze Recovery have been doing intensive training with BrainPaint staff to understand the benefits of this technology for their guests and be able to better guide them to recover their own mental and physical health. Founder and CEO Barnett Gilmer says, “We are very excited to be able to offer this service to our guests in addition to the exceptional program we already have in place. Our therapists have been eager to embrace scientifically proven therapies that will not only enhance their own work, but also help keep Gulf Breeze Recovery a frontrunner in the field of addiction treatment. Addiction research supports the use of neurofeedback therapy, and we feel this could be an important addition to our center.”
