I dont want to spend so much money on a brain scan just for this advice that I had already known beforehand. Does anyone know anything about his actual treatment methods?

Thank you!
There's a paper by Dr. Amen on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21615001 (Reversing brain damage in former NFL players: implications for traumatic brain injury and substance abuse rehabilitation.) which describes his usual approach with supplements. I'm partially basing my supplement stack on his recipee and I've found good results.

However, you have to be well aware that there's a good portion of the scientific community that regards Dr. Amen and his SPECT scans as a fraud.
