Who We Are

About Mind-U

Mind-U was founded on a simple belief: addiction and mental illness are treated from the root cause, not managed symptom by symptom — and that belief comes from lived experience, not just clinical theory.

  • COFEPRIS-regulated facility
  • Psychiatrist-led care
  • One coordinated clinical team
  • Individualized treatment plans

Why We Exist

Our co-founder Francisco built Mind-U after going through treatment himself, three times, before one finally worked. That experience shapes how Mind-U treats every patient — not as a case to process, but as someone who deserves care that's actually designed for them.

Led by Psychiatry, Grounded in Empathy

Every patient's care is directed by Dr. Jesús Rochín, Lead Psychiatrist and Co-Founder, whose more than 30 years of clinical practice — including training in Houston, Texas — anchor Mind-U's psychiatric-led model. Meet our clinical team →

What We Value

Empathy, integrity, accessibility, and resilience guide how Mind-U treats every family — understanding what someone is going through, being honest about what treatment can and can't do, making care genuinely reachable, and building toward real, lasting change rather than a quick fix.

Root-Cause Care, Not Symptom Management

Mind-U was founded on a simple belief: addiction and mental illness are treated from the root cause, not managed symptom by symptom. That belief shapes the same psychiatric-led model described throughout this site — one clinical team, one coordinated plan, built around the person in front of them. See our full approach →

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who founded Mind-U?
Mind-U was co-founded by Francisco Araujo, who built the program after going through addiction treatment himself, and Dr. Jesús Rochín, who leads the clinical model as Lead Psychiatrist.
What makes Mind-U's approach different?
Mind-U treats the addiction and the underlying mental health condition together, under one clinical team led by psychiatry, with the explicit goal of brain stabilization rather than lifelong medication or a one-size-fits-all program.
