Chronic Pain

Chronic pain from a workplace injury. 6 years on opioids that stopped working for the pain but I couldn't stop taking them without getting sick. Classic dependency trap. MindScape addressed both dimensions. The cardiac s...

Polysubstance addiction — all gone

Opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, alcohol. I was using everything to manage everything. Traditional rehab centers didn't know what to prioritize and I'd always relapse on at least one substance. MindScape developed a co...

Alcohol — 20 years and finally free

I'm 54 and I've been drinking since my early 30s. Wine at first, then vodka. I was the kind of alcoholic that nobody suspects because I held everything together on the outside. Inside I was dying. Three rehab stays, coun...

SSRI Discontinuation
Effexor withdrawal was worse than the depression

11 years on Effexor XR. When I tried to taper, the brain zaps and dizziness were so bad I couldn't work. My psychiatrist kept saying it was my depression returning but I knew it wasn't. I found research on SSRI discontin...

Executive burnout and alcohol — both resolved

I was a senior executive drinking two bottles of wine every night to manage stress. When I finally admitted the problem, conventional rehab felt like prison and the 12-step approach didn't resonate with my analytical min...
