Neural Toxicology Assessment
When you come to Spero Treatment Center, you will undergo a lengthy evaluation and assessment process to generate medical data for an accurate diagnosis. Depending upon your symptoms, your medications and medical history, different tests will be done to ascertain the cause of your physical distress and/or mental and psychological states. We look for medical relationships between the medical and psychiatric conditions so that we can efficiently treat them all at the same time. A neural toxicology assessment plays a big part in understanding how your brain and your body are interacting and how a deficiency in one area may be causing problems in another.
A neural toxicology exam provides information about the toxin levels in the brain that control such vital functions as the release of endorphins, the firing of neural transmitters and other key processes.
A neural toxicology exam is a vital part of the assessment program at Spero Treatment Center because it helps us quickly ascertain which areas of the brain are being impeded by alcohol or drug addiction - and therefore provide a more pinpoint evaluation and treatment plan for the patient.
With a neural toxicology exam, there is far less guesswork involved in treating the patient. While counseling still plays an important role, far less time will need to be spent ascertaining the root causes of the addiction through traditional therapy.
Simply put, once the toxicology test is complete, treatment professionals will know exactly where to being their work.
A neural toxicology assessment is a fast, un-invasive procedure similar to receiving a CAT SCAN or other similar scans. The individual does not experience any discomfort during the procedure and there is no danger of being exposed to significant levels of radiation.
The neural toxicology assessment provides a road map for proper treatment of alcohol or drug addiction. The assessment is one of the key ways that Spero provides individualized care for its patients. Every neural assessment is different, therefore every treatment plan should be different as well. At Spero, you can feel good about the fact that we won't waste time focusing on things that don't apply to you. We go right to the heart of the matter - insuring that you receive fast, results-oriented treatment that helps you return to life clean and sober - and that you stay that way!
