Alpha-Stim® and Addictions

Addictive behaviors present confusing and complex patterns of human activity. Alcohol and drug abuse as well as dependence on excessive sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and eating disorders, compulsive gambling and excessive sexual behavior all fall into the addiction category. Often when people engage in addictive behaviors they are attempting to self medicate their mood or feelings of anxiety and/or depression.

Numerous studies and articles indicate that the cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) the Alpha-Stim provide is very effective for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia which are experienced by those suffering with addictions.
