T. K. Wolf Services Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) Successful & Cost Effective Solutions Benefits of CES Get More Information References Stressed?  Anxious?  Depressed?  Can't sleep?  Addicted? Don't want prescription drugs?  Tried everything? Try Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES)! CES has been researched for decades, and is cleared for use by the FDA! Successful and Cost Effective Solutions for Substance Abuse The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently declared substance abuse the nation's number one health problem (February 2001).  Stating that substance abuse causes more deaths, illnesses and disabilities than any other preventable health condition, the Foundation noted substance abuse costs the nation more than $410 billion a year according to health care and justice records.  Roughly half of all serious crimes are committed by people under the influence.  Physical, emotional, family, and societal suffering are beyond calculation. Addiction has long been determined to be physiological disease.  Highly successful, self administered and cost effective treatment has been scientifically researched in the US and other countries since the sixties.  It is safe, noninvasive, non-addictive and FDA sanctioned for use.  It has proven to be effective in the treatment of numerous conditions such as substance abuse, drug withdrawal syndrome, depression, anxiety, and insomnia.  It is called Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES). In spite of the success of CES, the following is true about typical substance abuse treatment: 1)      Success rates from 12 Step and rehabilitation programs range between three and eight per cent after four years.  (By 1980, CES treatment had success rates of 80 per cent after seven years [Patterson 1984] and the technology has improved since then.) 2)      12 Step and rehabilitation programs do not permit the use of CES and continue to substitute substances (sugar, nicotine and caffeine) which are clinically demonstrated to lead to relapse for known physiological reasons.  3)      Substance abusers are given prescription medications for prolonged periods--medications that have major side effects and are themselves addictive.  This leads to multiple addictions--and continued returns to treatment facilities--or prisons. 4)      While these treatments may have once been the only treatment choices, this is no longer true.       Thank you to Active iNet Services for hosting this website.    visitors since March 9, 2006
