Alcohol
Good experience overall but not magic

I want to give an honest review because I think people need realistic expectations. I came for alcohol dependence, a bottle of wine minimum every night for 6 years. The screening process was thorough and professional. Th...

Started on morphine after a car accident and never got off. 9 years later I was broke and lying to everyone I loved. Did two rehabs and a Suboxone program before my brother found MindScape. Skeptical doesn't cover it. Th...

Kratom

Kratom dependency, about 30 grams of powder daily for 2 years. I started using it to get off hydrocodone which technically worked but I just traded one dependency for another. The restless legs and insomnia when I tried...

Fentanyl had me for 4 years
