Inspired by the life's work of Kenneth Blum

The first step is to identify genetic mutations or variances which influence risk for Dopamine Dysfunction, and disruption in other channels of neurotransmission. 

Neurological analysis of genetic screening informs the proper selection of pharmacogenomic intervention for your genome.  This eliminates the "trial & error" method of prescribing medication. 

A REWARD DYSFUNCTION TREATMENT PLAN is developed for your unique genetic, neurobiological and epigenetic issues, when untreated mimic mental health disorder clusters. Disruptions in dopamine and other channels of neurotransmission are addressed.  The focus is on achieving dopamine homeostasis.

Individual, group and family therapy in the Genomic Era of Addiction Medicine, utilizes the Neuro-Developmental model, to explain the new RDS paradigm. Focus is on achieving and maintaining dopamine homeostasis.  Clients use the RDS Severity of Symptom scale to monitor changes in their daily experience of symptomology, including Anhedonia & Dysphoria, as they take responsibility for their own recovery.

Once the client is stabilized, enjoying the bliss of dopamine homeostasis,  it is time for participation in life enhancements, such as mindfulness meditations, yoga, and exercise. Psychology for well-being increases self-esteem, self-efficacy, autonomy and helps the client thrive!

Once you become part of the Elle Foundation family, we want you to stay connected.  Teletherapy is routine for ongoing continuing care. Besides its fun, to visit with peers, therapists, and occasionally the doctors, and scientists  who pioneered Reward Dysfunction Syndrome.
