Biofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback is a form of therapy helping recovering addicts gain control over their mind and body during treatment.

Biofeedback information might be relayed back to recovering addicts in the form of pulsing sounds, images or flashes of light. This information helps them use relaxation exercises to control how their body responds to stressful situations like withdrawals and cravings.

Addiction Treatment

Biofeedback therapy can help recovering addicts understand their involuntary functions. Medical professionals then use this information to create a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. Many of our bodily functions occur without us having to think about them. When we’re nervous, tense or under severe emotional stress, these involuntary functions can make us more distressed. Biofeedback therapy tracks how the body is unconsciously reacting to physical and emotional tension.

Biofeedback therapy tracks involuntary functions like:

• Breathing rate
• Heart rate
• Skin temperature
• Blood pressure
• Sweating
• Muscle contract

Alcohol or drug withdrawal symptoms often lead to physical stress and heightened involuntary responses. Biofeedback can help treat common symptoms of drug withdrawal, such as anxiety, depression, chronic muscle pain and restlessness.

Biofeedback machines record bodily functions and display them back to the recovering addict. For instance, someone’s heart rate might look like a pulsing light or image on a computer monitor. If the light is pulsing quickly, the recovering addict knows they need to use stress-relieving techniques to lower their heart rate. The pulsing light or image on the screen will slow down accordingly as heart rate slows.
