The 12-step programs also act as a great support group that help the person in maintaining long-term sobriety.

In biofeedback therapy sessions, the person with addiction is given feedback through audio and visual cues and made to engage in grounding and relaxation techniques that help bring their heart rate, breathing, and other bodily functions responding to stress or cravings to a normal rate.

Biofeedback is an effective form of treatment for drug addiction, when used in conjunction with other treatment modalities, as it helps the person with addiction manage their responses to physiological reactions such as stress, which unmanaged can become cues for them to engage in substance use.

Is Biofeedback safe for Drug Addiction?

Biofeedback is generally considered safe but would not be appropriate for everyone, especially those with heart rhythm or skin conditions. Moreover, physical examinations are a must before engaging in a biofeedback therapy session.

How many numbers of sessions are required?

Sessions are for usually less than an hour. The number of sessions depends on the severity of the addiction and the individual’s response to the treatment.
