ADHD Treatment - Why Choose Neurofeedback Over Drugs for Attention Deficit Disorder Treatment?

For 30 years the Drake Institute has made biofeedback or neurofeedback the centerpiece of our non drug ADHD treatment programs. There is a learning curve in acquiring clinical expertise in utilizing neurofeedback and biofeedback . Our having helped more than 11,000 patients over the past 30 years has produced a level of knowledge and clinical expertise that could not have been acquired in any other way.

For the past 2 decades, we committed to helping ADHD patients with our preferred non drug ADHD treatment. As a medical clinic we could prescribe medication for ADHD children, but for clinical effectiveness and safety we choose our non drug ADHD treatment.

Unlike drugs when used for ADHD treatment, neurofeedback used properly does not cause negative side effects. In addition, brainmap guided neurofeedback can produce long term improvements which drugs cannot. The drugs can only produce a short-lived improvement. Furthermore, brainmap guided neurofeedback is very empowering to the ADHD child, and helps restore their self esteem by enabling them to develop the neurological resources and skills necessary to succeed. Our clinical staff of therapists provides much needed support throughout the ADHD Treatment for the parents to facilitate the ADHD child's improvements integrating into their everyday lives.

Thank goodness we found out about you . . . [Mason] is a different kid. He has improved with his impulsive; hyperactive behavior. There is less irritability, decreased fidgeting, higher tolerance for frustration, increased ability to stay on task and has the ability to self monitor . . . We home school him now and now he has friends and is doing much better. He now has A’s in math and science. The overall improvement from start of treatment is excellent.

Mason’s Mom

To put Joshua on a lifetime of drug dependence was a last resort for my husband and me. And then the Drake Institute became a part of Joshua’s life. I honestly noticed a difference in Joshua after the first treatment. As the treatments went on, Joshua just got better and better.

We are so thrilled with Jade’s progress. When we first came to Drake, Jade could hardly sit still for the brain map; close his eyes or relax. Now he listens, he notices small detail.

Jade asks before doing things; he taught his sister to calm down when she was crying. He follows directions better then his” typically” developing sister.

Jade’s Mom

Your program has, quite simply, changed our lives. We are pleased that he accomplished this without medication. He owns the changes in his life and doesn’t have to depend on a cycle of medication kicking in and wearing off. We are enormously grateful.

From the mother of Zachary, an 11 year old ADHD patient

I very rarely notice any outbursts and his tempers have improved greatly. If he wasn’t my child, I would not know he has ADHD. Thank you very much for helping his improvement and ours.

Amy, Mother of ADHD son

As I told another parent just days ago, we have seen our son transform before our eyes. Some people might consider neurofeedback an alternative form of treatment – we consider it cutting edge treatment. If you are reading this, you should take the next step and attend Dr. Velkoff’s seminar.

Rhe parents of Travis, a 7 year old ADHD patient

You helped our family a lot and helped my parents understand me. My mother has always been very kind and caring but could never stand the things that I did.

S. G., Irvine

My son is a much happier, more confident easier going child. His repetitive behavior is non -existent, his conversations are no longer one way and he doesn’t fall apart when things don’t go his way.

Mindy P., Mother of autistic son

Let me tell you what I’ve accomplished since being off the medication and finishing my 40 sessions; I earned a large raise at my company, my sphere of friends has grown tremendously, I have much higher self-esteem, and I’ve been able to start a very successful part-time business. I no longer look at myself as different from other people. I can accomplish anything and everything they can.

A 24 year old male patient

I would gladly recommend the Drake Institute and its wonderful programs. Not only is my daughter completely off of her ADHD medication, but she is able to do so much more on her own.
