A unique course of neurocognitive recovery is part of every treatment program at the Premium Practice clinic. This approach is based on the most up-to-date scientific data on the functioning of the brain, the causes and consequences of mental disorders and addictions.
In the bigger picture, the goal of this course is to identify the consequences of the disorder for the brain and carry out a large set of measures to restore its function; this course helps to speed up recovery and the development of new skills. The course structure:
Neurodiagnostics
This stage takes place within 2-3 days of the patient’s admission to the clinic. A neuropsychologist and a neurologist run a comprehensive neurological and neuropsychological assessment of the brain and the peripheral nervous system. Once the suboptimal brain functions are identified, the doctors develop a personal course of neurocognitive correction and rehabilitation therapy. This stage includes neuropsychological testing, neuroenergy mapping (NEM), consultation and examination by a neurologist, consultation and examination by a psychiatrist-narcologist and a rehabilitation doctor.
Neurocognitive correction
This course is aimed at recovering cognitive function, if the patient’s condition requires it. The course includes sessions with a neuropsychologist and special computer training sessions. The goal of this treatment program is to increase the patients mental adaptability to social and personal challenges, improve memory, neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, focus, and mental clarity, among other things. This speeds up recovery and improves the quality of the results. The course includes neurocognitive training, biofeedback therapy, and computer training sessions.
Neurobiochemical correction
On the one hand, psychological problems and mental disorders can be the result of a nervous system condition. On the other hand, alcohol and drugs can be toxic to the brain, causing disruption in the nervous system and killing off neurons. In such cases, medication prescribed by our doctors helps restore the nervous system to a healthy state, and deliver the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the affected neurons. As part of the neurobiochemical correction course, the patients undergo micronutrient, nootropic, vitamin, and metabolic treatment programs.
Neurophysiological correction
We have a range of different physiological procedures aimed at improving the patients’ focus, memory, coordination, balance, and blood flow, while also removing harmful toxins from the body. This complex also increases the production of the BDNF protein conducive to raising neurotrophins, which stimulate and support the regrowth of neurons. This treatment includes massages, thermo-hydrotherapy, herbal medicine, oxygen therapy, as well as functional exercises (kinesitherapy) yoga, Qigong, exercise therapy, mechanotherapy, etc.
