  • Can the brain recover from damage AND How long does the brain take to heal? More specifically How does the brain damage naturally from substance abuse?
    In this video, you’ll hear from Master Level Certified Cognitive Coach Andrea Pitman as she reveals what allows the brain to heal itself and what barriers can prevent self-healing.

    The brain can recover from damage, though how long and how much damage can be healed depend on how the brain was damaged.
    Brains are a part of the body and can recover from injury. The damage done during brain development from substance abuse can reverse itself over time. Substances can block the healing process. While sober in recovery, these substances no longer block healing.
    Detoxification of substances and alcohol begins the healing process. During detoxification, the brain can begin to function optimally again.
    The length of time that it takes to heal depends on the substance used and for how long. For example, methamphetamine and cocaine use might take longer to detox than alcohol or cannabis use.
    However, the length of time and amount of substance used can add to recovery. For example, daily alcohol consumption might take longer to recover from than once a week binge-drinking.
    For teens and young adults, getting support and intervening soon will help them from doing too much damage during brain development.
    Addiction and substance use disorders are treatable conditions, and you can heal the damage done. Brain plasticity is especially prevalent among young adults and teens.
    Addiction treatment and recovery that occurs earlier during the young adult’s brain development can prevent many of these neurobiological issues from getting worse.

    I've been using antidepressant for almost 4 yrs, 5 yrs after stopping them completely still not able to study or work and cognitively very weak and I wasn't like that at all before this destructive treatment. Nobody understand me, I've lost my job my study. How can I return to normal?

      Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about the struggles you've been going through. Although it can be very isolating and you may feel like no one understands, there is help out there. Our recommendation is to talk with your doctor about getting into talk therapy and assessing your cognition issues.

      I took first time antidipressant and immediately suffered memory loss and cognitive abilities. Doctors never believed me and gave further antidepressants which led me to think of committing suicide.
