Mission
Our mission is to help people move beyond problematic substance use so that they can embrace a life filled with purpose, resilience, and well-being. We’re addressing the addiction crisis in America using new, evidence-based approaches based on the latest neuroscience research of Judson Brewer, MD PhD, into the intersection of mindfulness and reward-based learning. Our supportive services include a national recovery community, online and in-person support meetings, and a novel digital therapeutic app to reach and help people at scale. We are dedicated to making our programs accessible to all, reducing health disparities, and supporting underserved populations. All of our programs are available for free or at a minimal cost to enable the widest access possible.

Mindshift's Approach to Addiction
The Mindshift Method was created to take advantage of the brain’s reward-based learning system and how specific awareness techniques can subvert, or “hack,” this system. It combines the latest neuroscience research with what we already know about the brain and its role in addiction.
What we teach has been supported by years of research and evidence, specifically through the research and development of digital therapeutics designed by Judson Brewer, MD PhD and his team, such as Craving to Quit for tobacco cessation, which was shown to be five times more effective in helping individuals stop smoke than trying to quit on their own, Eat Right Now, for unhealthy eating habits had a 40% decrease in food cravings, and Unwinding Anxiety, which helped the users decrease anxiety by 57%.
The Mindshift Method is taught and practiced through our App (Digital Therapeutic), online courses, weekly recovery meetings. Seeking funding to take the programs to in-person to treatment centers.
