Velkoff, M.D., our Medical Director and co-founder, supervises all evaluation procedures and treatment programs. To get help for you or your loved one, please schedule a no-charge screening consultation with us today. Because these results are self-generated by the patient via an internalized learning process of self-regulation they have the potential for producing long-term improvement and ADHD relief. Our treatments guide the brain to reorganize itself and create new neural connections, thereby improving brain function. Whereas drug-based therapies only temporarily suppress or manage symptoms, our non-drug treatment approach helps to eliminate symptoms by resolving the source of the problem itself: improper brain function. Brain map data is then used to guide Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) treatments which train patients to produce more normalized, better functioning brain wave patterns that reduce their ADHD symptoms. Prolonged drug use made it extremely difficult for us to completely rid some child patients of their dependencies.Īs a medical clinic, Drake brings a more comprehensive level of knowledge to the treatment process, integrating the disciplines of medicine psychology, neuroscience and computer science into a singular, unique, non-drug based treatment program with an approximately 80% clinical success rate in helping patients improve their productivity and quality of life.ĭuring the initial diagnosis for each patient, we perform a noninvasive QEEG brain map procedure to identify the abnormal brain wave patterns linked to ADHD symptoms. Unfortunately, some of the children “treated” by drug-based approaches appear to have been unalterably and detrimentally affected by the experience. The Drake Institute of Neurophysical Medicine helps patients achieve better clinical, long-term improvement for ADHD without relying on drugs, and their potential unwanted side effects. Also, patients should not discontinue a psychiatric medication without a physician's supervision.ĭrake’s Comprehensive Non-Drug Treatment for ADHDĭrug-based ADHD treatment can provide temporary symptom relief, but a better way to deal with ADHD related problems and seek symptom resolution (rather than symptom suppression) is to treat the problematic brain dysfunction itself. Patients should notify their doctor of any new symptoms they may experience, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, heart palpitations, elevated heart rate, or new mental problems. Though there are cases where a patient may require ADHD medication on a temporary basis, these drugs should be used with careful oversight from a physician. ADHD drugs are also frequently abused on school campuses across the country today, with media reports containing details of Ritalin abuse and even stimulant overdose.
In 1992, we recognized that drug-based treatments for ADHD only temporarily supressed symptoms, doing little to correct the underlying disorder itself: brain dysregulation.ĭrug-focused ADHD treatment protocols typically offer only temporary relief, since patients treated with drugs will only experience symptom relief for as long as the drugs are being taken. The Problems with Drug Treatments for ADD and ADHD Our safe alternative to drug-based therapy prevents patients from having to suffer the unwanted side effects of ADHD medication, but it also can provide a real resolution of ADHD symptoms. The Drake Institute of Neurophysical Medicine provides a highly effective non-drug treatment for ADHD and Autism.
