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 websites about psychotropic
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 psychotropic drug withdrawal program.
After 25-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 past 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 decades. After conducting hundreds
of DNA test to determine how individuals metabolize psychotropic 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 psychotropic medications and is not a recovered addict. Jim has

Jim does understand what you are going through. He has personally answered hundreds of
thousands of e-mails over the past 25-years and will answer yours as well and guide you
through the withdrawal process.
You will find written in the drug manufacturers description of psychotropic 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.”
