Methadone Addiction  

Methadone addiction greatly reduces blood flow to the brain as seen in the SPECT scan below. Compare the brain of the patient suffering 7 years of methadone addiction to the healthy brain.  Those brain regions suffering less than half-normal blood flow are represented visually as “holes” – the methadone brain is deprived of normal blood flow - oxygen and nutrients.         

 

   

Brain scientists suggest the number one reason patients develop early Alzheimer’s Disease is reduced blood flow to the brain. SPECT brain imaging as seen on the left measures blood flow in the brain – methadone addiction causes a drastic reduction in brain blood flow.          

SPECT brain imaging has proven that methadone addiction is worse than most other drug addiction for causing  compromised cerebral blood flow.         

The picture on the left demonstrates SPECT imaging of a healthy brain and that of a patient suffering methadone addiction.         

SPECT studies at the Amen Clinic and University Medical Centers have proven it takes one year of abstinence from methadone before the methadone addicted brain looks normal on SPECT imaging.         

Dr. Sponaugle  has proven that his post detox Brain Wellness program can heal the methadone addicted brain, producing a normal SPECT scan in just six weeks versus one year!! This brain wellness protocol also stops opiate craving.         

Compare the two brain scans seen below. The brain on the right belongs to Deborah, a 52 year old business consultant from North Carolina who agreed to go public for an ABC news documentary (watch Debora’s ABC News clip on our mediaq page) . Deborah had suffered 20 years of methadone addiction, not 7 years, as the brain on the left. She also suffered a severe Xanax addiction of 20 mg per day.        

 

   

Deborah had her SPECT scan at Amen Clinic just six weeks after Dr. Sponaugle performed her methadone detox. During the six week post detox period, we used the Sponaugle Brain Wellness program for restoration and correction of multiple deficiencies caused by methadone addiction (brain chemical, hormonal, vitamin and amino acid).         

The Sponaugle Brain Wellness protocol accelerated the healing process of Deborah’s brain.
