It is no secret that the United States, Canada, and many other developing countries are experiencing a severe crisis of drug and alcohol addiction. According to the 2021 US National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 46.3 million Americans aged 12 or older (16.5%) qualified for a substance use diagnosis in the past year, including 29.5 million with an alcohol use disorder and 24.0 million with a drug use disorder.
Alarmingly, over 110,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2022, the highest annual figure ever recorded, driven largely by the proliferation of illicit fentanyl.
Episode 14 of NeuroVerge focused on this crisis and reviewed a substantial and growing body of research on the efficacy of neurofeedback as a treatment strategy for addiction.
Building on the model of brain function with which NeuroVerge participants have become familiar, we considered specific latent traits in the brain that may underlie vulnerability to addiction, a pragmatic neurofunctional perspective on addictive conditions, and a suite of targeted neurofeedback training protocols.
