SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In response
to the pressing challenges faced by individuals seeking recovery
from addiction, Mindshift Recovery, a new non-profit organization
in the addiction recovery space, has formed a strategic partnership
with Unlikely Collaborators, an innovative solution to societal
issues. This collaboration is poised to address the critical
problems of accessibility, support, and the integration of modern
science in addiction recovery, bringing to light comprehensive and
effective recovery solutions.
In a world where the process of recovering from addiction is as
diverse as the individuals undertaking it, Mindshift Recovery and
Unlikely Collaborators are uniting their strengths to introduce
innovative evidence-based in-person and online programs, a mobile
app, and support groups for individuals in recovery. This
partnership leverages the latest science in behavior change and
mindfulness, including the pioneering work of addiction
psychiatrist and neuroscientist Judson
Brewer, MD, PhD, and Unlikely Collaborators Founder
Elizabeth R. Koch, whose
organizations aim to increase awareness of their Perception Box™.
Together, Brewer and Koch are committed to creating a national
recovery community that embodies hope, resilience, and
well-being.
The partnership aims to address several key challenges:
- Limited Access to Evidence-Based Recovery Tools: Many
individuals struggling with addiction lack access to effective,
science-backed recovery options. Mindshift Recovery and Unlikely
Collaborators are committed to bridging this gap by providing new
programs, digital therapeutics, and supportive community programs
that are both accessible and rooted in the latest recovery
research. Mindshift Recovery's support meetings and mobile app are
offered at no cost. The in-person and online programs are offered
at low to no cost.
- Incorporating Neuroscience and Mindfulness-Driven Solutions:
Recognizing the essential roles of both brain science and
mindfulness in fostering effective recovery, this partnership
blends the latest advancements in neuroscience with mindfulness
practices. These solutions are informed by the work of Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, an expert in addiction
psychiatry and neuroscience, and the transformative power of
mindfulness, ensuring recovery methods are deeply rooted in
understanding the brain's mechanisms and present-moment awareness
and mental resilience.
- Flexibility and Inclusivity in Recovery Pathways: Understanding
that recovery is a highly personal journey, Mindshift Recovery has
designed its solutions to complement other recovery programs,
pathways, and goals, ensuring individuals at all stages of recovery
can find the support they need. By leveraging the latest in brain
science, mindfulness, and recovery best practices, the initiative
offers more holistic and effective programs.
- The Need for a Supportive Recovery Community: Recognizing the
vital role of community in the recovery process, this collaboration
seeks to build a national network offering hope, resilience, and a
sense of belonging to those on their recovery journey.
"Through our partnership with Unlikely Collaborators, we are at
the forefront of integrating neuroscience and mindfulness in
addiction recovery," said Dr. Judson
Brewer. "Our approach taps into the brain's inherent
capacity for change, leveraging insights from neuroscience to
unlock new pathways towards healing. By combining these scientific
principles with the practice of mindfulness, we aim to empower
individuals with the tools they need for a more conscious and
fulfilling recovery journey."
By combining Mindshift Recovery's expertise in creating
impactful recovery programs with Unlikely Collaborators' investment
and innovation acumen, this partnership is poised to make a
significant impact on the lives of those seeking to move beyond
substance use.
"Addiction recovery is so incredibly personal, no two roads look
alike," says Elizabeth R. Koch,
Founder and CEO of Unlikely Collaborators. "What's so powerful
about Mindshift Recovery's approach is it directly addresses, using
scientifically-proven tools, the unique set of limiting beliefs
each person is suffering from, perfectly aligning with Unlikely
Collaborators' vision of helping individuals gain agency over their
own Perception Box."
The collaboration between Mindshift Recovery and Unlikely
Collaborators is set to launch a series of initiatives designed to
empower individuals with the tools and support they need to
navigate their recovery path. These initiatives include developing
digital platforms for recovery support, peer-based coaching
programs, and integration with clinical treatments.
"We're thrilled to partner with Unlikely Collaborators to expand
our reach and enhance our offerings," said Josh Roman, Co-Founder/CEO of Mindshift
Recovery. "This partnership reaffirms our commitment to providing
accessible, science-based recovery solutions and support as widely
as possible through our non-profit. Together, we are not just
addressing the challenges of addiction; we are transforming the way
recovery is perceived and achieved, making a lasting difference in
the lives of individuals and communities across the nation."
