Drake History
Drake Institute was founded in 1980 with one question in mind:
what role does the brain take in the healing process? Knowing the
mind can make the body sick, we thought it should follow that it
can also make it well.
Over more than 25 years, we have treated 10,000 patients,
and 80% of them have been enormously symptom relieved and have moved
on with their improved lives due to the success of their treatment
at the Drake institute.
Since we saw our first patient in 1980, Drake’s practitioners
have continually learned and improved care.
The 10,000 individuals we’ve helped have also taught us.
Our success rates have grown consistently higher in the treatment
of ADD/ADHD, Stress, Autism
and Asperger’s Disorder. Alongside these improvements
in treatment, we’ve also increased our understanding of the
dynamics of care.
The Drake Institute’s first concentration when it opened
was the treatment of stress disorders.
We’ve treated 4,000 patients these disorders and the impact
of the institute proved to be profound on their lives. We worked
closely with organizations including the UCLA School of Medicine,
the Pasteur Institute in Paris, the Los Angeles Police Department
and the Los Angeles City Council on studies and treatments. Focuses
included reducing the occurrence of stress-related injuries in police
officers and strengthening the immune system through stress treatment.
NOTE: Stanley – could you look at this paragraph? Just grabbed
stuff from the current timeline page
After more than a decade of tremendous success in treating stress
disorders, in 1992 we began using our methodology to treat a different
brain function: attention.
We began to look at the ability of this treatment to create new
neural pathways to correct the lack of this capacity in the brains
of ADHD and ADD patients. About 6,000 patient cases later, we have
succeeded in developing what many consider to be the world’s
leading program. Our drug-free treatment resolves - not just sometimes
manages, as some drugs do - the core symptoms of ADHD,
ADD and learning disorders.
In 2004, we began our clinical program for Autism
and Asperger’s Disorder. To date we have treated over
250 patients with both surprising and very gratifying results -
the treatment has proven to be highly effective with the core symptoms
of Autism and Asperger’s disorder. We not only transform our
patients’ lives for the better, but also the lives of their
families. To date, Drake has provided the very first documented
successful treatment system for Asperger’s disorder and high
function Autism. And for that we are very proud.
Many events and public presentations link to media page over time
have supported and presented our efforts (see timeline); however
there has been no greater satisfaction than the impact that our
treatment has had on the lives of our patients and their families
who have attended the Drake Institute.
