  1. Background

What is Grasshopper?

PreviousTerminologyNextUsing technology

Last updated 9 months ago

Grasshopper is a 21st-century addiction treatment program, building upwards through knowledge integration.

It modernizes peer-support programs, backing them with upgraded education and new technology; replacing and supplementing traditional treatment options for a better recovery.

"We aren't reinventing the wheel; we're just putting new tires on it."

Mainstream addiction treatment dates back 100 years ago. It laid the foundation for considering addiction as a disease that could only be managed through peer support and faith, with a profound impact on the lives of millions.

Grasshopper believes it's time for an update, aligning addiction treatment with modern society through scientific standards and processes: a new guiding structure, without dogma.
