I recently had the privilege of undergoing treatment at the IBOGAINE Cancun, and I can confidently say that it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I felt welcomed, supported, and in the hands of true professionals. The facility itself was clean, comfortable, and provided a serene environment that allowed me to focus on my recovery. The staff members at IBOGAINE Cancun were not only highly trained but also compassionate and genuinely committed to helping each patient on their journey to recovery. One of the most unique aspects of this rehab center is their use of ibogaine, a natural plant-based substance known for its potential in treating addiction. The medical team at IBOGAINE Cancun thoroughly explained the science behind ibogaine and its potential benefits, which gave me the confidence to proceed with the treatment. During my stay, I was consistently monitored by the medical staff, ensuring my safety and well-being throughout the process. The treatment itself was profound and transformative. It provided me with deep insights into my addiction and allowed me to confront the underlying issues that had led me down this path. The support and guidance I received from the therapists and counselors at IBOGAINE Cancun were instrumental in helping me process these revelations and set a course for a brighter, addiction-free future. The aftercare program at IBOGAINE Cancun is worth mentioning as well. They provided me with a comprehensive plan for maintaining my sobriety and offered ongoing support and counseling. This extended support network has been crucial in helping me stay on track and avoid relapse. In conclusion, IBOGAINE Cancun is a remarkable place for those seeking a unique and effective approach to addiction recovery. The combination of a comfortable facility, professional staff, and the transformative power of ibogaine treatment makes it a standout choice. My experience at this rehab center was nothing short of life-altering, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to break free from addiction and embark on a path to lasting recovery.

After suffering from a severe opiate addiction since 2008, a friend of my family recommended Casa Santa Isabel. My parents were very skeptical since we tried several rehab centers near Los Angeles and one in Tucson, but my addiction was so powerful I craved oxy through the recovery programs and went right back to using soon after returning home. My first and second day at Casa Santa Isabel were very relaxing and their doctor helped me stay together without my pills. The ibogaine therapy was amazing. I was scared at first but everything became so clear and by the next day I felt extremely down to earth and with zero cravings. Something I had not felt in over 11 years. The doctor and psychologist were very attentive and easy to get along with. All of the staff was amazing. I felt like I was at a retreat. Although the best part was returning home to a life without dependency. Thank you all so much. I will keep in touch.

Would recommend!

Disappointed isn't the word

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.

I reached out to Experience Ibogaine under very short notice circumstances, I was contacted by Michael the same day and he was able to answer all the questions I had about Experience Ibogaine. Not long after I booked my flight and was on my way to Sandiego. I was not currently addicted to any drugs but went for maintenance reasons ( I saw myself slipping back into old habits as I am a former opiate addict and alcoholic ). Michael picked me up from the airport and shortly after I arrived, they immediately took blood and hydrated me with an IV to make sure I was healthy enough to partake in the treatment I went there for, later that night DR paul called me down to the medical room to discuss my bloodwork and EKG, they ended up finding Left Ventricular hypertrophy ( this did not affect my ability to participate in ibogaine therapy...... but it may have saved my life as I was not aware of this ! ). I underwent the ibogaine therapy and they took very good care of me, I slept better then I ever have, and ate the best food prepared fresh every meal. The time later came to do the 5 meo treatment and i was apprehensive due to a bad experience with it 5 meo when i was still addicted to opiates ( opiates and psychedelics dont mix ! ) Jonathon administered the 5 meo and I was beond surprised how exceptional of an experience it was, everything in my life suddenly clicked after the 5 meo treatment and I felt a sense of unconditional love and understanding of myself and others. I would just like to thank Aeden and Velria, and there entire team of people committed to helping people. I hope to see you guys again, and keep up the good work as there is no shortage of people in need of this type of treatment

I recently had the chance to visit Viraha, an amazing wellness and health oasis that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly welcome. The team of professionals is top-notch, combining knowledge, professionalism, and a personal touch that made my visit a rewarding experience. They\'re all really passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the services they offer. The place itself is fantastic, with a great view that makes you feel relaxed and at ease. The spaces are well-maintained, creating a calm and welcoming environment that allows you to disconnect from daily stress and focus on personal wellness. From the treatments to the meditation sessions, every aspect of my experience at Viraha was excellent. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their health and wellness in a welcoming and professional environment.
