About Us

In 1999, our
founder, Jim Harper, began investigating
antidepressants and the cause of their adverse
reactions. In 1999, the Internet had two
distinct types of web sites talking about
psychoactive drugs, those that only stated how bad
the drugs were and those sites that only promoted
their usage. While others were arguing about the
medications, Jim Harper began looking for solutions
for withdrawal. Eventually, most every person will
reach a point where the physician and patient will want to
discontinue the drug and withdrawal assistance
needed to be created. In 1999, Jim Harper's program
was the first psychoactive drug withdrawal program.
After 22-years and over 19 million using the
program , The Road Back Program
is the most widely used drug withdrawal program in
the world. The Road Back is a member of California
Association of Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Counselors
(CAADAC).
Jim Harper used the
information gathered from his DNA Testing company,
Advanced DNA Testing, to advance the program
continually over the past decade. After conducting
hundreds of DNA test to determine how individuals
metabolize psychoactive drugs, evaluating the
potential side effects we can all experience due to
medications, a basic program was developed. Once DNA
testing was completed with hundreds of people
regarding their ability to metabolize nutrients and
drugs, the program made its next advancement.
Currently, specific supplements are used with The Road Back
Program to target genes the drugs activate. The
simple process of switching these drug induced
activations off again brings relief to the patient
during withdrawal.
From all of us at The Road Back - We wish you the best on your
journey.
Jim Harper has never used psychoactive medications
and is not a recovered addict. Jim has owned a DNA
testing company, has been approved by the Los
Angeles, CA. courts to be an expert DNA witness and
has authored 16 bestselling books about drug
withdrawal. One of Jim’s books was used as a text
book at a major university in America in their
pharmacology doctoral program.
Jim
does understand what you are going through. He has personally
answered hundreds of thousands of e-mails over the
past 22-years and will answer yours as well and
guide you through the withdrawal process.
You will find written in the description of psychoactive drugs a
statement of how to reduce the medication. In 1999,
Jim published how to reduce addictive medications
and Jim’s approach from 1999 is now recommended by
the drug companies. “Reduce the drug slowly and
gradually. If side effects become too unbearable, go
back up to the last dosage you were doing fine with,
get stable once again, and then resume the reduction
at a more gradual pace.”
