What Brain Studies Reveal

Billions are spent on treatments for alcoholism and drug abuse every year. Often these treatments bring only momentary relief. So why, in spite of all these efforts and recent breakthroughs in brain studies, is substance abuse still so rampant? In his book, Brain in Balance, Dr. Fred Von Stieff – a innovative detoxification specialist – reveals the truth behind alcoholism and addiction, disclosing their relationship with genetics, brain functions, and neuroscience. By exposing the root causes behind substance abuse, he clarifies how to gain lasting relief. Brain studies reveal that the brain’s balance of neurotransmitters influences many facets of life – from personality and mood to depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders. Often it is a genetic neurotransmitter imbalance that drives individuals into a life of alcoholism and substance abuse. Dr. Von Stieff uses his extensive understanding of neurochemistry and brain studies to help individuals permanently escape the entrapment of cravings and addiction and instead achieve healthy and productive lives.
