Better Mental Health for More People

We are at a crisis point in the field of mental health provision and Addiction treatment

Mental health and addictions are the 5th leading cause of illness globally, affecting 20% of the global population. The global substance Addiction treatment industry is valued at USD17.5bn per annum and is forecast to increase to USD31.5bn per annum by 2027.

Unlike other medical disciplines, psychiatry focuses on maintenance rather than cure, and symptom suppression rather than addressing the root causes of these illnesses.

The exception is Psychedelics and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy which have the potential to radically change Addiction treatment and deliver significantly better patient outcomes.

About Awakn

Awakn Life Sciences is a biotechnology company with clinical operations researching, developing, and delivering psychedelic new chemical entity drugs and therapies to treat Addiction.

We are integrating psychedelic medicine into mainstream healthcare to enable better mental health for more people through our development and delivery divisions.

We have a dual strategic focus, to research, develop and commercialise psychedelic new chemical entity drugs, therapies, and enabling technologies to treat Addiction. And to build, own and operate the UK and EU’s leading chain of medical psychedelic clinics that treat Addiction amongst other mental health conditions.

Our goal is to be the leader in both the development of these drugs and the delivery of them through our clinics and scale our reach through our licensing partnerships.
