At Restore, our neuro rehab services for mental health cover multiple brain-based treatment options. We often recommend neurotherapy for people with mental health conditions that don’t improve with talk therapy or medication alone.

Neuro rehab is an unfamiliar concept to many patients, but it could provide significant symptom relief when used as part of a personalized care plan. Below, we’ll explain what neuro rehab is and how to access neurotherapy at our Deerfield Beach campus.

What Is Neurotherapy / Neuro Rehab?

Neurorehabilitation is a collection of treatments for mental health conditions and substance use disorders that focus on the role the brain plays in sustaining those conditions. Treatment aims to address brain-related symptoms by measuring brain activity, providing neurofeedback and stimulating the brain directly. Restore Mental Health offers a range of neurological treatments to support mental health recovery.

The Neurotherapy Stack at Restore

Restore Mental Health provides neurotherapy as part of a broader clinical program. The evidence base for brain-based treatment continues to develop, and we adopt modalities as the research supports them.

Comprehensive Neuropsychological Testing

At the start of every treatment program, our patients undergo a thorough evaluation. We evaluate several important psychological criteria, such as symptoms, clinical history and results from our neurological testing and brain mapping. We consider the intensity of symptoms and brain dysregulation during a patient’s admission evaluation to determine the best treatment strategy.

EEG Brain Mapping

Measuring activity helps us understand what’s happening in the brain. This way, your brain’s activity can be compared to that of a healthy individual, and areas of dysregulation can be identified. This information helps in the diagnosis and treatment planning process. As your brain is electrically conductive and brain cells or neurons communicate with each other via electrical signals, measurement is often done with EEG (electroencephalography).

EEG brain mapping picks up on the electrical activity in your brain. Getting a measurement involves wearing a cap over your head and having many small metal discs or electrodes placed on your scalp. EEG is noninvasive and totally painless.

Heart Rate Variability & Biosound Monitoring

Biosound patients are led to a state of brainwave activity that mimics the initial stage of sleep by using specially created binaural sounds and vibrational stimulation. During this meditative state, our patients listen to a number of audio selections meant to promote positive affirmations and improve their self-worth. During each session, our heart rate variability (HRV) and biosound/biofeedback therapies measure pulse, blood pressure and respiration rates to determine efficacy.

Neurofeedback Training

Neurofeedback, otherwise known as EEG biofeedback, is a type of therapy that uses a computer-based system to measure brainwave activity and provide direct feedback to the patient. The program then reorganizes or retrains these brain connections using audio or visual signals. Patients can learn to control and enhance their brain function, which can lead to a long-term reduction of negative symptoms.

Neurofeedback training at Restore teaches you how to self-regulate parts of your brain that have been dysregulated, including by drugs and alcohol. For patients whose mental health condition occurs alongside a substance use disorder, it can also support coping with the sadness, anger and guilt that often accompany substance use.

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a painless, noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to regulate activity in specific areas of the brain. Restore delivers TMS using a BrainsWay Deep TMS system, which uses patented coils fitted into a helmet to reach deeper brain structures than standard TMS coils.

The Deep TMS system is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxious depression and short-term smoking cessation. Treatment involves a series of sessions over several weeks, and patients remain awake and alert throughout. Your care team will assess whether TMS is appropriate for your condition and history before recommending it.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) involves recalling traumatic memories under the guidance of a therapist while making repeated, rapid eye movements. It helps the brain reprocess traumatic events, making them less distressing and reducing disruptive symptoms.

EMDR is most commonly used as an evidence-based treatment for PTSD. However, some professionals also use it to treat other mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorders, phobias and complex grief.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) combines ketamine treatment with more traditional psychotherapy. Ketamine is a controlled drug that has psychoactive effects. Evidence shows that taking a low dose of ketamine under medical supervision and then participating in therapy sessions can help people process thoughts and emotions more effectively.

It’s thought that ketamine treatment may increase neuroplasticity, making the brain more adaptable to change. Healthcare providers may recommend KAP to treat depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions, especially if more conventional treatments haven’t worked.

Using ketamine recreationally is illegal in the United States and can cause serious physical and psychological symptoms. You should only consider using ketamine to treat a mental health condition under medical supervision. Your care provider can determine whether the treatment is suitable for you and ensure your safety.

How Neuro Rehab Fits the Broader Treatment Plan

Neurotherapy isn’t usually a standalone treatment. Restore Mental Health incorporates neuro rehab into your wider care plan alongside other onsite psychiatric services. Patients often receive neurotherapy as part of a residential or outpatient program.

As your needs change, we may adjust your care plan and services to suit your recovery stage. You can continue receiving neurotherapy throughout the continuum of care, ensuring consistent support for long-term recovery.
