Neurofeedback for Addiction Support in Playa Vista: Drug-Free Brain Training for Lasting Recovery
Located in the heart of Silicon Beach, NeuroBalance Playa Vista offers cutting-edge LENS neurofeedback therapy to support addiction recovery through non-invasive brain training. Our specialized approach helps individuals overcome addiction by addressing the underlying neurological patterns that drive addictive behaviors, without medication or side effects.
Important Note: NeuroBalance assists addiction treatment centers with their protocols. We provide complementary neurofeedback support to enhance existing treatment programs, helping individuals achieve sustainable recovery through brain optimization.
Understanding LENS Neurofeedback Technology
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) represents a revolutionary advancement in neurofeedback therapy. Developed by Dr. Len Ochs, this FDA-registered technology uses extremely low-energy electromagnetic signals—comparable to the output of a digital watch—to gently stimulate the brain’s natural healing processes.
Key Benefits of LENS Neurofeedback:
- Non-invasive and painless: No electrical stimulation or discomfort
- Rapid results: Many clients notice improvements within 1-5 sessions
- No conscious effort required: Works passively while you relax
- Long-lasting effects: Creates permanent positive changes in brain function
- Safe for all ages: From children to seniors
According to WebMD’s research on addiction and brain function, addressing neurological dysregulation is crucial for sustainable recovery. LENS neurofeedback directly targets these dysregulated patterns, helping restore healthy brain function naturally.
The Brain-Addiction Connection
Addiction fundamentally alters brain structure and function, particularly in regions responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and reward processing. Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that chronic substance use creates lasting changes in neural pathways.
Affected Brain Regions:
- Prefrontal Cortex: Executive function and decision-making
- Limbic System: Emotional regulation and stress response
- Basal Ganglia: Reward and motivation circuits
- Extended Amygdala: Stress and withdrawal symptoms
Neurofeedback Benefits:
- Restores healthy brainwave patterns
- Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms
- Improves emotional stability
- Enhances cognitive function
Our approach aligns with findings from recent research on brain chemistry and its role in addiction recovery. By optimizing neurotransmitter function through neurofeedback, we help create the neurological foundation for lasting sobriety.
How LENS Neurofeedback Works
LENS neurofeedback operates on the principle of neuroplasticity—the brain’s remarkable ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. Learn more about neuroplasticity and brain adaptation in our comprehensive guide.
The LENS Process:
- Brain Mapping: We measure your unique brainwave patterns using advanced EEG technology
- Pattern Identification: Our system identifies areas of dysregulation and imbalance
- Gentle Stimulation: Ultra-low energy signals encourage the brain to reset stuck patterns
- Natural Reorganization: Your brain naturally optimizes its functioning
- Progress Monitoring: We track improvements in real-time
“The brain’s electrical activity patterns can become ‘stuck’ in dysfunctional states. LENS helps unstick these patterns, allowing the brain to self-regulate more effectively.”
— Jon S. Haupers, LENS Neurofeedback Specialist

Frequently Asked Questions
How is LENS different from traditional neurofeedback?
LENS uses much lower energy signals and requires no conscious effort from the client. Traditional neurofeedback often involves watching screens and actively trying to change brainwave patterns, while LENS works passively, making it ideal for individuals with attention difficulties or those in early recovery.
Is LENS neurofeedback safe during addiction recovery?
Yes, LENS is completely safe and non-invasive. It doesn’t interact with medications and has no known side effects. The ultra-low energy signals are gentler than those from a digital watch. Many addiction treatment centers incorporate LENS as a complementary therapy.
How quickly will I see results?
Many clients notice improvements within the first 1-5 sessions. Common early changes include better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved mood. However, lasting changes typically develop over 10-20 sessions as the brain establishes new, healthier patterns.
Can LENS help with multiple conditions simultaneously?
Yes! Because LENS helps optimize overall brain function, it often addresses multiple symptoms simultaneously. For example, clients seeking addiction support often report improvements in anxiety, sleep, focus, and mood regulation as their brain function improves.
Do you work with addiction treatment centers?
Yes, we partner with numerous addiction treatment centers throughout Los Angeles County. We provide complementary neurofeedback support to enhance their existing protocols. We can coordinate care with your treatment team to ensure integrated, comprehensive support.
Is LENS suitable for children and teens?
Absolutely. LENS is safe and effective for all ages. We’ve successfully treated children as young as 3 years old for conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and anxiety. The gentle nature of LENS makes it particularly suitable for young clients.
