qEEG Brain Mapping
Advanced neuroscience technology that reveals your brain's unique patterns to guide personalized treatment.
Quantitative EEG Brain Mapping for Addiction Treatment
Quantitative electroencephalography, or qEEG brain mapping, is one of the most advanced diagnostic tools available in addiction treatment today. At RECO Island, we use this non-invasive technology to create a detailed map of your brain's electrical activity, revealing patterns that are associated with addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other conditions. This information gives our clinical team a window into your neurological health that goes far beyond what traditional assessments can provide, allowing us to design treatment protocols that are truly personalized to your brain.
How It Works
The qEEG procedure is painless and non-invasive. A fitted cap with sensors is placed on your head to measure the electrical activity across different regions of your brain. The recording session takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, during which you will sit comfortably with your eyes open and closed. The raw data is then processed through specialized software that compares your brain activity patterns to a normative database. The resulting brain map highlights areas of over-activity, under-activity, or dysregulation. Our clinical team reviews the results with you and uses them to inform decisions about therapy modalities, medication choices, and neurofeedback protocols.
Benefits
Objective Diagnostics
Provides measurable data about brain function rather than relying solely on subjective assessments.
Personalized Treatment
Brain map results directly inform therapy selection, medication decisions, and neurofeedback protocols.
Non-Invasive and Painless
The procedure requires no injections, radiation, or discomfort of any kind.
Track Recovery Progress
Repeat brain maps can demonstrate measurable improvements in brain function over time.
What to Expect
The qEEG brain mapping session is typically scheduled within the first few days of your stay. You will be guided to a quiet, comfortable room where a technician will place a fitted electrode cap on your head. The cap contains small sensors that rest against your scalp. You will be asked to sit still for about 30 to 45 minutes, with periods of eyes open and eyes closed. There is no pain or discomfort involved. After the recording, the data is analyzed and your results are reviewed with you by a clinician who will explain what the brain map reveals and how it will shape your treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
