| NeuroElectric
Therapy (NET) is a specific form of Cranial
Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) , providing
small pulses of electric current across the
head to ameliorate the effects of acute and
chronic withdrawal from addictive substances.
CES has been in clinical use in the USA since
1963 and in Europe since 1953, and is recognized
by the FDA for the treatment of depression,
anxiety and insomnia |

results published in 1984 showed that by coupling
NeuroElectric Therapy with approximately two
weeks of a residential rehabilitation program,
participants being treated with such a protocol
exhibited a dropout rate of less than 2% and
experienced long-term drug abstinence rates
of approximately 80%, based upon a follow-up
study that determined the sampled participants’ abstinence
status anywhere from 1 - 8 years after their
initial treatment (n=186). This is compared
with about a 3% long-term average abstinence
rate for people who are treated using traditional
methods. |

Applying small amounts of current across the head for about one week, NET reestablishes the body’s natural levels of neurotransmitters disrupted by chronic substance abuse. This reduces both the acute and chronic symptoms of drug withdrawal and improves rehabilitation outcomes.
