Laser Therapy for Substance Abuse

Substance Abuse and Addictions

Dear Matrix,
I wanted to give you feedback on your training program in low level laser therapy in April of 2004. My wife and I received the training from your very capable staff and as addictions treatment professionals in the State of Michigan we have most certainly utilized your information, knowledge, training, consultation and expertise. The training in Stress, Weight Loss, Substance Abuse, and Smoking Cessation were outstanding. We appreciate your professionalism and follow-up.

Regards, Gary and Mahla Wood.

About Addictions

Since the dawn of time man has been trying to manipulate how he feels. The human experience is driven by pleasure. The trap of addictions is simple, but the solution is very complex.

Addiction to mood altering drugs, which include tobacco and alcohol, in most part start in early adolescence. This is a time when, by nature, humans are excited to try anything that will bring about a high or a feeling of pleasure. We become trapped when the brain becomes dependent on the feel good response and demands the substance. The mind, because it is unable to control the physical need, develops an addictive personality in order to live with the addiction.

For this reason Matrix Institute of Laser Therapy has developed a comprehensive protocol for resolving drug and alcohol addiction. (Note: Due to the psychological complexities of addiction, this course is only available to qualified professionals. Please contact us for details.)

Addiction Treatment with Laser Therapy

Matrix Institute of Laser Therapy believes the answer to combating drug/alcohol addiction is a multi-discipline approach incorporating the following components:

  1. Physical: Relieving the physical need for the substance without using a drug. Our technology involves the use of low power laser that stimulates the brain to produce its own natural opiate substitutes to relieve physical withdrawal and cravings.
  2. Psychological: Matrix does not use 12-Step programs - we use a rational approach to deal with psychological dependency to free a client from their addiction for life. Behavior modification techniques are used during and after the therapy to overcome the psychological dependency, dealing with the psychological aspect in such a way ensures an addiction free lifestyle.
  3. Nutritional: Supporting the body nutritionally to rid it of toxic chemicals and aid the body in repairing damage through dietary lifestyle changes.

Our advanced approach has allowed us to achieve one of the highest on-going success rates of all drug/alcohol programs. With training and certification from Matrix Institute of Laser Therapy, you can bring this level of success to your practice.

Training Certificate course is with a Certified Matrix Trainer. All manuals included.
