Advances in neuroscience have identified neural markers that play a pivotal role in addiction recovery. Brain imaging studies reveal changes in the prefrontal cortex, reward circuits, and stress-response systems during and after substance use. Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself—facilitates recovery when supported by abstinence and behavioral therapies. Functional MRI (fMRI) and EEG studies have identified improved connectivity in regions associated with decision-making and impulse control during sustained recovery. Biomarkers like dopamine receptor availability and cortisol levels offer insights into the recovery process. Understanding these neural markers aids in developing targeted treatments, such as cognitive enhancers or neuromodulation, to promote long-term sobriety.
