Why our Business Exists
The Problem
At the heart of our mental health crisis is a system that prioritizes transactional, impersonal doctor visits and drug sales over genuine care. Insurance pressures often push doctors to see more patients in less time, leaving little room to address the real reasons behind a person’s distress. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical marketing—disguised as objective evidence—has infiltrated medical journals and academic medical centers, convincing many in the medical field that heavy reliance on medications is “evidence-based” and safe, even though most drug trials only last about 12 weeks and critical safety information is covertly suppressed.
Unfortunately, these concerns are largely ignored by psychiatric leaders, who either ignore or actively dismiss the fact that hundreds of thousands of people report the destruction of their lives by these medications every day. Consequently, because these problems are not recognized by medical authorities, rank-and-file doctors are not taught how to identify drug-induced issues or safely taper patients off these medications. As a result, many patients are left to navigate these challenges on their own.
Our Commitment
That’s why we come to work every day: to help people break free from harmful drug regimens and reclaim the life they deserve. We pair expert drug tapering with non-drug approaches to psychiatric symptoms so people don’t have to rely on medications just to manage stress or cope with life’s challenges.
Our Mission
We help our patients safely taper off unwanted psychiatric medications.
How we execute on Our Mission
Our Criteria for Client Success
We accomplish this through exceptional medical knowledge of drug tapering principles and provide oversight to ensure the tapering process is as safe and most tolerable way possible. Additionally, we offer access to expert clinicians who have personal experience with drug withdrawal. These clinicians provide support, motivation, and accountability, helping our clients succeed.
Our goal is to enable men and women to be free from side effects and no longer worry about the long-term effects of these medications. We aim to empower them to tackle life without medications and improve their presence both at home with their families and at work.
Our criteria for client success are as follows:
- Safe Medication Tapering: Clients must complete their medication tapering safely, using best practices to avoid protracted withdrawal injury.
- Confidence in Ongoing Tapering: Clients still in the tapering process when they leave our program should feel confident about safely completing their taper with their doctor’s guidance.
- Understanding of Core Problems: Every client must leave our program with a clear understanding of the reasons behind their initial medication use and have a comprehensive plan to address these underlying issues.
