Opioid Addiction
Came as a last resort and it worked

17 years. I won't catalog everything I lost because that's not useful but the list is long. Three failed rehabs, two Suboxone stints, one methadone program. Nothing held. My daughter was 12 when she wrote me a letter say...

My addiction involved heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines at various points, often simultaneously. 14 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substance...

Healing childhood trauma at 38

Cocaine lost its grip

Cocaine controlled my weekends for seven years and was starting to bleed into my work week. I was a high-functioning user which made it easy to deny the problem. MindScape helped me see what I was really dealing with. Th...

Alcohol-free for the first time in my adult life

In Japan there is enormous social pressure to drink and very little understanding of alcoholism as a disease. I was drinking daily for over a decade before my family intervened. MindScape was recommended by a friend who...
