About CLAS Therapy
What is CLAS Therapy?
CLAS Therapy is a neuroscience-based therapeutic system that combines Color, Light, Aroma, and Sound stimulation to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and neurological balance. The therapy is designed to help patients manage anxiety, cravings, and other stress-related conditions while promoting a calm and focused mental state.
What does CLAS stand for?
CLAS stands for Color, Light, Aroma, and Sound—the four synchronized sensory elements used in the therapy environment to stimulate the nervous system and promote relaxation and emotional stability.
Who developed CLAS Therapy?
CLAS Therapy was developed by a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, clinicians, and wellness specialists focused on creating a non-invasive therapeutic protocol designed to improve mental health outcomes and long-term recovery.
What conditions can CLAS Therapy support?
CLAS Therapy is designed to support individuals experiencing conditions such as:
Anxiety
Stress-related disorders
PTSD
Depression
Substance use disorders
Cravings and relapse triggers
It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional treatment programs.
Is CLAS Therapy evidence-based?
Yes. Clinical studies and case research have shown promising results in reducing anxiety levels, cravings, and stress responses. Many participants report significant improvements in emotional regulation and engagement in treatment programs.
Treatment Experience
What happens during a CLAS Therapy session?
A typical CLAS session places the patient in a comfortable relaxation environment where synchronized visual light patterns, calming sounds, aromatherapy, and vibroacoustic stimulation work together to promote relaxation and mental balance.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard session usually lasts about 60 minutes, typically including:
20 minutes of CLAS multisensory therapy
40 minutes of positive affirmation or cognitive reinforcement therapy
This structure helps reduce stress while strengthening psychological resilience.
Is CLAS Therapy safe?
Yes. CLAS Therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, making it safe for most individuals. The therapy is designed to gently stimulate the nervous system and promote relaxation without causing discomfort.
What does the therapy environment look like?
CLAS Therapy sessions take place in a dedicated relaxation room equipped with specialized technology such as:
Color-changing therapeutic lighting
Vibro-acoustic relaxation loungers
HD visual displays
Aromatherapy diffusers
Immersive audio experiences
Together, these elements create a calming and immersive environment designed to help patients disengage from stress and focus on recovery.
Can patients feel benefits after a single session?
Many patients report feeling immediate relaxation, reduced anxiety, and improved mental clarity after a session. However, the greatest benefits are typically experienced when therapy is used consistently as part of a structured treatment program.
For Treatment Centers & Providers
How can a treatment center implement CLAS Therapy?
CLAS Therapy can be implemented through a turnkey system installation, where a treatment center installs a fully equipped relaxation room that includes the CLAS therapy hardware and software platform.
What equipment is required for CLAS Therapy?
A standard CLAS Therapy setup includes:
CLAS synchronized lighting system
Vibro-acoustic therapeutic lounge chair
HD visual display system
Aromatherapy diffuser
Binaural audio headphones
Integrated software and therapy content
This system creates a complete multisensory therapeutic experience.
How much space is needed to install a CLAS Therapy room?
The system can typically be installed in a 9 x 12 foot room, making it adaptable for many treatment facilities, wellness centers, and clinical environments.
Does CLAS Therapy integrate with other clinical systems?
Yes. The platform can integrate with teletherapy systems and electronic medical records (EMR) platforms to support patient monitoring, therapy sessions, and long-term engagement programs.
What training is required for staff?
Staff receive training on how to operate the CLAS system, guide patients through therapy sessions, and integrate the therapy into existing treatment programs. Ongoing support and training are also provided.
Results & Long-Term Recovery
How does CLAS Therapy help reduce relapse?
CLAS Therapy works by helping regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety, and cravings that often lead to relapse. When patients experience improved emotional stability, they are more likely to remain engaged in their treatment program.
Does CLAS Therapy improve patient retention?
Yes. Treatment centers that use CLAS Therapy often report higher patient engagement and lower AMA (Against Medical Advice) discharge rates because patients experience a more calming and supportive treatment environment.
Can patients continue therapy after leaving a treatment facility?
Yes. CLAS365 extends beyond the facility through teletherapy and home-based programs, allowing patients to continue therapy sessions and maintain engagement in their recovery journey.
How does CLAS365 support long-term recovery?
CLAS365 provides a structured recovery support system that includes:
Continued teletherapy sessions
Home-based therapeutic programs
Ongoing wellness monitoring
Fitness and lifestyle support
This approach helps bridge the gap between residential treatment and long-term sobriety.
What makes CLAS365 different from traditional therapy programs?
CLAS365 combines neuroscience, multisensory therapy, and digital recovery support into a comprehensive solution designed to improve patient outcomes, reduce relapse rates, and support sustained recovery.
