How Bio-Beds Are Changing Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

Revolutionary Change: How Bio-Beds Transform Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

“Bio-beds” and “bio-bed therapy” are new and little-known innovations in the field of addiction and mental health treatment. In the sections that follow, we’ll introduce readers to this groundbreaking treatment and answer questions like, “What are the benefits of bio-bed therapy?” “What is the experience like?,” and, “Why should it encourage someone to seek care for an addiction or mental health concern?”

A New Solution for Symptom Relief?

Suffering anxiety, sleepless nights, non-stop worry, distractibility, or an inability to stick to a task? What about restlessness, irritability, short temper, lack of energy, headaches, muscle aches and pains, and many other common symptoms of addiction and mental health issues? Often, someone who’s been suffering such symptoms for a long time begins to think that they’ll never end or that nothing can be done to remedy the pain, discomfort, mental distress, and anguish. Bio-beds have provided relief.

What Is a Bio-Bed?

A bio-bed is a specialized bed used in various treatment programs. While it may look like a luxurious and comfortable bed or a relaxing, S-shaped bed that might be used in a doctor’s or psychiatrist’s office, this one’s a bit more elaborate. A bio-bed is equipped with technology that provides both vibration and sound that the user experiences during the treatment process. In short, what the bio-bed does is harness the body’s powerful sensory systems to promote overall relaxation and provide a mental and physical distraction from distressing symptoms.

Sound is one of the most important parts of bio-bed therapy. The intricate mix of sounds is akin to the brain waves of someone who’s completely relaxed. These audio sounds mimic the brain’s theta and low-alpha waves, reducing stress and providing symptom relief.

Other aspects of bio-bed use may include guided meditation, stimulation of the visual field through various cues, and sound frequency alteration.

Bio-Bed Program Details

At FHE Health, bio-bed therapy is part of our Neurorehab program. Neurotherapy requires skilled specialists who can utilize the most sophisticated equipment and technologies to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes. Some of the equipment and technology used include Biosound monitoring, electromagnetic stimulation using high-frequency pulses, heart rate monitors, and quantitative electroencephalography.

It’s important to note that Neurotherapy techniques, such as bio-bed or biosound therapy, are not miracle cures. They can, however, provide a means to positive change for many individuals. This is data-driven neuroscience, the most state-of-the-art treatment therapy.

How to Get Scheduled or Recommended for Biosound Therapy

Upon entering the Neurorehab program at FHE Health, individuals meet with clinicians for an evaluation and recommendations for treatment according to their needs. Physiological reports are reviewed, including those covering brain wave activity. This baseline from early assessments assists FHE Health clinicians and individuals undergoing treatments and therapies to measure the effectiveness of each approach. Adjustments in treatment are made as needed to optimize each individual’s progress.

What Is It Like to Use a Bio-Bed?

During bio-bed therapy, a Neurotherapy specialist instructs the patient to relax by lying on a special bed. Then, a series of minor vibrations occur, simultaneously with audio sounds (binaural). The vibrations from the bio-bed stimulate different body parts according to a predetermined and preset pattern. At the same time, the binaural audio sounds reinforce the vibrational effects.

For many people, the experience of using a bio-bed is unlike any other addiction treatment or therapy they’ve heard of or participated in. This is especially true for those undergoing rehab for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental conditions (called “dual diagnosis”). Some of the conditions bio-bed therapy and neurofeedback training can help treat include depression, anxiety, night terrors, suicidal thoughts/ideation, bipolar disorder, rage disorders, and substance abuse disorders. Bio-bed sound therapy users report feeling like they’ve had a tremendous release from the chaos that’s been a part of their everyday lives for so long.

It’s no secret that addiction creates a non-stop cascade of tumultuous emotions and unpredictable situations. Those who are trapped in this vicious cycle are often exhausted, unable to make appropriate decisions, and disheartened by a seemingly impossible and depressing future in addiction. Many users of bio-bed therapy say they are surprised and gratified to find relief from the chaos and uncertainty via a treatment approach that doesn’t involve mind-numbing drugs or addictive substances.

Benefits of Using a Bio-Bed

There are many benefits of using a bio-bed. Primarily, biofeedback assists a person in regulating their body’s psychological processes. This is a learned skill that the individual can use following the bio-bed sound therapy and throughout rehab and recovery. The ability to control stress and anxiety during periods of intense or unexpected turmoil is a skill highly beneficial to recovery.

Specifically, bio-bed therapy helps reduce tension, thus enhancing restful sleep. This is crucial during the most intense phases of detox, or when withdrawal symptoms are either more severe, their frequency increases, or a combination of both.

The beats of the binaural sounds help bring the body’s nervous system into a more relaxed and controlled state by decreasing the rhythm of the heart. This facilitates a calmness achieved in a meditative state. Instead of frazzled nerves, this relaxed state of calm allows for sharper focus and clarity in the recovery process.

A 2019 study found that biosound therapy can be beneficial in those suffering from post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). The specific benefits include clearer thinking, improved memory and ability to recall things, restful sleep, reduced stress sensitivity, and emotion management.

Another study found that biosound therapy can influence mind/body plasticity by significantly reducing “severe physiological, psychological, and emotional symptoms associated with addiction recovery, across all variables from stress to headaches.”

Furthermore, as research reveals, those individuals who have certain conditions such as depression, substance addiction, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD show unusual brain waves. Yet brain waves can change with effective treatment. Thus, individuals with some of these conditions can learn ways to bring about lasting, positive changes to unhealthy patterns of behavior.

How Services Like a Bio-Bed Can Help in Rehab

When someone is in treatment to overcome substance use disorder and/or mental health issues, they want and need the best and most proven therapies and treatments. The holistic approach of healing the body-mind-spirit is an important component of any effective rehab. While it’s worth noting that not every therapy works for everyone or in all situations, having access to a wide array of effective treatment approaches adds to the likelihood of successful rehab.

Since worry exacerbates anxiety and prompts cravings, urges, and susceptibility to triggers, services like bio-bed therapy can help quell the disquiet and level out emotional turmoil. This is especially important during drug detox since this period of treatment is so often accompanied by a variety of withdrawal symptoms. Some symptoms are annoying, while others can be moderate to severe, even painful.

Bio-bed services can take some of the mental distress and physical pain out of detox by enhancing comfort and eliminating or reducing symptoms so the next stage of treatment can begin. Of course, this bio-bed treatment approach is just one part of an overall treatment program that’s designed to meet the individual’s unique needs.

The comprehensive, personalized treatment program may include, in addition to biofeedback bed therapy:

  • Individual and Group Therapy Sessions
  • Psychiatry and Medication
  • 12-Step Meetings
  • Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
  • Meditation, Breathing, and Bodywork
  • Wellness Services
  • Hypnotherapy
