36 year old male opiate addict. Long history of relapse and treatment failure. Paul entered the drug rehab program, where he was given a brain map and treated with the neuro-development program, psychotherapy, an AA recovery program, group therapy and was randomly drug tested throughout his treatment.

As a result of the work Paul did in the neuro-development program he was able to resolve his memory and cognition problems as well as his poor impulse control over his behavior. Paul was able to improve his cognitive abilities by at least 45 percent over all. Paul to date is 15 months sober and is working a strong recovery program.
