Problem
Millions of people struggle with addictions and problematic behaviors—from alcohol and drugs to gambling, social media, and shopping—yet conventional approaches often rely on shame and willpower, which fail to address the underlying brain mechanisms. Many individuals lack access to affordable, science-backed recovery tools and professional support.
Solution
Mindshift Recovery offers a brain-based approach to behavior change through a free mobile app, weekly online community meetings, and an 8-week live online course. The Mindshift Method teaches a three-step process that helps users work with their brain's reward system rather than against it. The app provides guided lessons, daily mindfulness tools, and community support, making clinically proven techniques accessible anywhere. The program has already served over 100,000 people seeking to break cycles of addiction and reclaim their lives.
Target Audience
Adults struggling with substance use disorders, alcohol dependence, digital addictions, or other problematic behaviors, as well as their supporters who seek accessible, science-based recovery tools.
