Addiction recovery is a multifaceted journey that often requires a combination of therapies to address both the physical and psychological aspects of dependence.
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which significantly enhances oxygen delivery to tissues throughout the body. Recent studies suggest that this increased oxygenation can facilitate brain healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall brain function, making it a valuable tool in the fight against addiction.
