Degree of Recovery from Substance Abuse / Addiction

 

qEEG screening

Service code s9027

Please note that screening does NOT result in a medical diagnosis; it gives a probabilistic estimate of risk. In other words, the screening gives information on the presence of a pattern in the qEEG that is often – but not always – found in persons with a history of a particular condition.

Short description

Neurophysiological recovery from substance abuse or addiction is usually accompanied by normalization of overall brain activity - and as a consequence the overall qEEG pattern. In this context qEEG screening can be helpful in objective assessment of effectiveness of a given intervention/treatment regime.

Results

By performing this qEEG screening you will get the information on:

  • whether you have a qEEG pattern typical for healthy individuals and
  • the potential degree of recovery.

Notes:

  • The results of qEEG analysis are put in context of published scientific studies, the individual’s health history, complaints, symptoms and psychometric and other evaluations (if available).
  • Present psychotropic medication use may affect the results.
