MEAI is a new psychoactive molecule that reduces desire to consume alcoholic beverages and exerts a slight euphoric, alcohol-like experience with potential to change the lives of millions who struggle to drink in moderation. Clearmind’s MEAI-based flagship treatment focuses on Alcohol Use Disorder, which is incredibly common. It varies from mild to excessive and is characterized by a person’s inability to restrict their alcohol consumption, despite negative social, occupational, or health consequences. Clearmind’s MEAI may also be used to treat binge drinking, which can be a deadly addiction for some.
