10 Verified Detox Clinics List in Cancun, Mexico

I literally nearly died as a result of going to The Ibogaine Clinic by David Dardashti. I recently went to this clinic for drug addiction. Two months ago I boarded a plane for what we hoped would be a new, clean life. Cole Barressi, their COO, is a slick salesman and convinced us that my addiction could be eliminated with virtually no withdrawals and with a claimed 10-year sobriety rate of better than 92%, I was incredibly excited to go. My first clue should have been when Cole claimed it’s a myth that methadone collects in a person's bones. Studies on the NIH website show exactly the opposite. We asked how 3 or 4 doses of ibogaine could eliminate all the methadone in my bone marrow, where a lipophilic drug like that typically collects. He assured me that something he called a "Rife machine" could detox it all. This machine is in fact little more than an ionic foot bath, a single 1-hour session with which they purport to pull all that out. Not likely. Also, they never did an intake. A friend of mine had given Cole details on what he understood my history to be with various drugs, dosages etc. However, this was all second-hand info and neither Cole nor anyone at the clinic ever did an actual first-hand interview with me to confirm this. I went straight into my first ibogaine session the night I arrived. No intake or blood tests, only a brief orientation on what to expect during treatment. In fact, they never did ANY blood work at all my entire stay. No IV fluids either. When I came home after two weeks I felt awful, like being hit by a truck. My bones ached. I had often mentioned this to the staff but they only gave me vitamins and B12 shots for energy, which didn't help much. At home it got progressively worse. After 10 days I was fully bed-ridden: nausea, vomiting, I could barely move or even keep water down. I eventually went to the ER and they admitted me to the hospital with a badly inflamed liver. According to them, the ibogaine had stressed my liver and triggered a severe flare-up of hepatitis C. My liver was enlarged and my enzyme levels were over 2000. Normal is 10 to 20. Had I waited another 6 hours they said I would likely have died of liver failure. It took the better part of a week to stabilize me and the enzymes peaked at over 3000. This is fatal liver failure territory. I was also diagnosed with severe methadone withdrawal, so the ibogaine had done nothing for that either. Hepatitis and elevated enzyme levels (above 50) are both contra-indicators for ibogaine treatment. Most clinics require blood tests for such conditions before and during treatment. This clinic apparently does not and instead plays Russian Roulette with their patients' lives. Meanwhile, Cole had ghosted us. I was on a two week treatment plan but after the first full week, when it became clear that I was not going to be a poster child success story for his clinic, he cut off all communication with us. In fact even now, NOBODY has ever bothered to call us at all even though they know what happened to me. For Cole to abandon a patient mid-treatment right when I needed the clinic most, both he and the clinic he represents have zero credibility with me, either personally or professionally. Cole had made a big deal about it being a 5-star facility. I discovered later that most of these ratings come from the staff. When patients check out, the staff ask if they would be willing to give a rating and then ask for them to hand over their phone so they can "help them" do that. They scan a QR code, punch in a "5" and then hand the phone back. I witnessed this being done with a few patients who checked out before me and I later confirmed this with several others I knew. Cole told us that the 5-star rating allows the clinic to charge premium rates for their services. AVOID THIS CLINIC AT ALL COSTS!! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT CARE ONE BIT FOR THEIR PATIENTS’ WELFARE.

This was my husbands 5th trip to ITC. He goes annually for check-ups and to get an "immune boost"! He is always treated like family and gets quality care. We are happy with all aspects of ITC but above all we are happy with the results of his treatments!

Excellent service, I loved my procedure. Thank you!

This is the first time I'll go to this place..it's worth the effort..it's beautiful here..the view is beautiful.

Disappointed isn't the word

The Nurses and support staff were very nice and always dedicating time to help me. Dr. Donato was nice and compassionate, always at my bedside every day of my treatments. During the therapy I did not had any adverse or side effect. From the start of the 2nd week I started to notice reduction in the swelling around the tumor recurrence and felt much better. After the 3rd week I noticed a drastic reduction of the tumor volume . I completed the 5 cycles of administration and the tumor reduced by 89%. I am now going to continue with oral medication and checkups every 3-4 months expecting to keep the tumor under control. I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Donato for his dedication and all his personal work to help me recover.
