Most are aware of the damage that can occur with certain internal organs, e.g. the liver, but seeing these images takes away any question as to the impact on the brain that comes with alcohol and/or substance abuse.

A substantial portion of our programs are devoted to helping restore the brain. There are very specific methods that are designed to reconnect and strengthen those portions of the brain that have been compromised which are integrated in our treatment. This serves as a critical element to bring someone afflicted with addiction back to a place of health.
