Caron Treatment Centers expands brain care services at Florida facility

Listen to this articleCaron Treatment Centers announced the expansion of its Neurorestorative Health Care services at its The Keele Medical Center in Delray Beach, Florida.
The expansion of services includes a new 10-day Neurocognitive Assessment for individuals seeking to optimize their brain function.
“Addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress and other behavioral health issues physically change and negatively impact the brain, interfering with the reward system, executive function, memory, attention, concentration and more,” said Dr. Barbara Krantz, Caron’s Florida Medical director for the Older Adults Program, Withdrawal Management and Chronic Pain.
“These brain changes directly impact the way we process the world – how we think, how we act, what we do, what we remember, how we react,” Krantz said. “By looking at brain function in combination with appropriate psychological and other testing, we are able to more accurately understand what’s happening with that individual, diagnose behavioral and mental health issues, as well as identify causes of cognitive decline, including dementia.”
Conducted by a team of experts from the fields of medicine, psychology, clinical, and neurocognitive services, Caron’s new 10-day Neurocognitive Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation to identify and define current brain function, including areas of deficit and over-stimulation, the Wernersville, Berks County-based Caron said.
“Our goal is optimizing brain health,” Krantz said. “That’s why, as part of the assessment, we will provide a prescriptive Neurorestorative Health Care treatment plan that targets specific areas of the brain that need improvement or support.”
