CPAP Clinic at Rebis: Expert Sleep Apnea Treatment & Support

At Rebis Health's CPAP Clinic, patients don't just receive a machine—they receive life-changing therapy that works. While the national average for CPAP success hovers around 50-60%, Rebis achieves remarkable 82-87% adherence rates through personalized care, expert fitting, and ongoing support that makes CPAP therapy something patients can truly live with.

Why Sleep Apnea Treatment Matters for Your Health

Sleep apnea is far more than loud snoring. When breathing stops repeatedly during sleep, the body experiences stress that affects every system. Untreated sleep apnea increases risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even car accidents due to daytime sleepiness. The good news? Effective CPAP treatment can dramatically reduce these health risks while restoring energy, focus, and quality of life.

Expert CPAP Care That Works

Precision Fitting and Comfort Solutions

Finding the right CPAP mask is like finding the perfect pair of shoes—one size definitely doesn't fit all. Our CPAP team specializes in precision mask fitting, trying multiple options until patients find their perfect match. From full-face masks to nasal pillows, the team provides comfort accessories and adjustments that eliminate common issues like air leaks, marks, and discomfort that cause many people to give up on treatment.

Advanced Monitoring and Data-Driven Support

Modern CPAP machines collect detailed data about breathing patterns, mask fit, and therapy effectiveness. Our team reviews this information regularly, providing coaching and adjustments based on real sleep data rather than guesswork. Remote monitoring means problems get solved quickly, often before patients even notice them.

Pressure Optimization for Better Results

Recent research shows that CPAP pressures that are "too high for you" can actually cause inflammation. At Rebis, the team works to find each patient's lowest effective pressure setting—enough to keep airways open without causing discomfort or side effects. This individualized approach, including home titration options, helps patients sleep better while avoiding "pressure toxicity."

Comprehensive Treatment Approaches

Our Rebis CPAP Clinic offers multiple therapy options because sleep apnea affects everyone differently:

CPAP and BiPAP Therapy: Standard and advanced pressure delivery systems 

Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV): For complex sleep apnea patterns 

Home Titration Services: Pressure adjustments in the comfort of your own bedroom

Treatment-Emergent Central Sleep Apnea Management: Specialized care for complex cases

Integration with Multidisciplinary Care

What makes Rebis different is how CPAP therapy integrates with other specialties. Using Dr. David McCarty's evidence-based Five Finger Approach and Five Reasons to Treat framework, the team addresses not just breathing during sleep, but all factors that might affect treatment success. This might include working with the dental team for oral appliance alternatives, functional medicine for inflammation reduction, or behavioral sleep specialists for insomnia management.

Who Benefits from CPAP Therapy

CPAP treatment helps people with:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The most common form where airways collapse during sleep

  • Central Sleep Apnea: When the brain doesn't send proper breathing signals

  • Complex Sleep Apnea: A combination of both types

  • Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome: Partial airway blockage causing sleep disruption

Perfect for First-Time Users and Experienced Patients

Whether starting CPAP for the first time or struggling with existing equipment, the Rebis approach meets patients where they are. First-time users receive comprehensive education about what to expect, while experienced users can troubleshoot ongoing issues or upgrade to newer technology. Frequent travelers appreciate quick adjustments and portable solutions.

The Science Behind Better Sleep and Health

Consistent CPAP use creates measurable health improvements. Research shows that effective sleep apnea treatment:

  • Reduces Blood Pressure: Both systolic and diastolic readings improve significantly

  • Lowers Stroke Risk: Proper breathing during sleep protects brain health

  • Decreases Car Accident Risk: Better sleep means improved daytime alertness

  • Restores Energy: Patients report dramatic improvements in daytime function

  • Improves Heart Health: Reduced strain on cardiovascular system

These benefits become even more pronounced when CPAP therapy includes structured patient education and ongoing support—exactly what Rebis provides.

Education and Support That Makes the Difference

Group and Individual Learning Sessions

Our Rebis team offers both group education sessions and one-on-one coaching proven to boost CPAP adherence. These sessions cover everything from basic operation to advanced troubleshooting, helping patients become confident and successful with their therapy.

Telehealth Support and Check-ins

Regular video appointments with registered sleep technologists mean patients never feel abandoned with their equipment. These scheduled check-ins address concerns quickly and adjust therapy as needed, all from the comfort of home.

Troubleshooting Common Challenges

The most common CPAP challenges include:

  • Air Leaks: Often solved with better mask fitting or strap adjustments

  • Dryness: Addressed through heated humidification and room environment changes

  • Claustrophobia: Overcome with gradual adaptation techniques and mask alternatives

Pressure Discomfort: Resolved through pressure optimization and breathing technique

Beyond CPAP: Alternative and Combination Therapies

While CPAP remains the gold standard for sleep apnea treatment, Rebis recognizes that one size doesn't fit all. The clinic seamlessly integrates with other Rebis specialties when patients need:

  • Dental Sleep Medicine: Custom oral appliances for CPAP intolerance

  • Surgical Consultation: When anatomical issues require intervention

  • Functional Medicine: Addressing inflammation and metabolic factors

  • Behavioral Sleep Medicine: For insomnia or anxiety related to treatment

This collaborative approach using the Five Finger Approach ensures all factors affecting sleep get addressed, not just the breathing interruptions.

  • Most patients need 2-4 weeks to fully adapt to CPAP therapy. Our team at Rebis provides support throughout this adjustment period, making modifications as needed to improve comfort and effectiveness.

  • We specialize in finding each patient's lowest effective pressure. If pressure feels uncomfortable, our team can perform home titration studies or pressure optimization to find settings that work better for you.

  • Modern CPAP machines are designed for travel. Our team provides guidance on travel accessories, airline regulations, and portable options for business trips or vacations.

  • Not everyone succeeds with CPAP on the first try. Rebis offers multiple alternatives including different mask styles, oral appliance therapy through the dental team, or combination approaches that might work better.

  • Initial follow-ups are typically scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. After that, most patients benefit from quarterly or semi-annual check-ins to review data and optimize therapy.

  • Most insurance plans cover CPAP equipment and supplies with proper documentation. Our team at Rebis helps navigate insurance requirements and ensures patients receive covered benefits.

  • Sleep apnea can change due to weight fluctuations, aging, or other health factors. Regular monitoring at Rebis ensures therapy adjustments match current needs, whether that means pressure changes or different treatment approaches.
