If you’ve tried to stop drinking or using before. If you worked the steps and did the counselling and you promised your partner. If you said, ‘Just one drink.’ Or one hit. Or one more game. And you meant it, keep reading.
At Emergo, we recognize that addictions is a ‘brain thing.’ So, we start by focusing on that part of you that most programs don’t—the brain—and we move forward. Quickly.
No drugs. No group therapy. No steps. No more shame.
Personalized, targeted treatment to get you well faster and easier.
What we know, and what the American Society of Addiction Medicine knows, is that “Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not just bad behaviour or bad choices.”
This isn’t about willpower. This is about brain power. We’ll say it again: It’s not your fault.
We love how Lee Gerdes, founder and CEO of Brain State Technologies, puts it: “Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, shopping, eating, gambling or sex, an individual’s need for a particular substance is driven by brain function. Addictions…are a craving that comes directly from an imbalanced brain that is seeking the substance or the action to balance itself out.”
