Methadone & Suboxone
Finally free of maintenance medication

Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 6 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...

Fentanyl Addiction

I got into fentanyl through a dealer who switched without telling me. Tried Suboxone twice and methadone once. They managed withdrawal but didn't touch what was driving the using. My sister paid for MindScape after my se...

Narcan twice, then ibogaine

After two Narcan reversals I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 109 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening. They found a prol...

Anxiety

OCD and anxiety that were consuming my daily life for 15 years. On every medication my psychiatrist could justify trying. Anxiety managed but not resolved, and medication side effects were their own burden. My therapist...
