Founder’s Story – Paul Mason (Alias used for privacy)

Hey there, I’m Paul Mason, and I founded Opiate Freedom Foundation (formerly PainFreeWithdrawal) to help people regain their freedom from opioid dependence and rebuild their physical, mental, and emotional health naturally.

After a 23-year battle with opioid addiction, I discovered that recovery was possible, not through another prescription, but by understanding how the body and brain truly work together. The knowledge I share here comes from personal experience and years of scientific research into how natural bodies can support recovery.

I’ve spent over a decade studying nutritional neuroscience, neuroadaptation, and integrative recovery methods. Everything on this website is based on education, compassion, and evidence, not sales tactics. I use the name Paul Mason to protect my privacy and safety, but my story is very real. This mission isn’t about me; it’s about giving others what I once needed most: hope, direction, and freedom through knowledge.
