Ibogaine Therapy

Ibogaine Addiction Therapy

Our ibogaine therapy for addiction is an experience like no other. By inducing a dreamlike but conscious state this form of therapy reaches deeply into the subconscious to penetrate the innermost dimensions of oneself, providing the opportunity for deep cognitive evaluation.

These reflections provide insight into healing and help the patient process core emotional issues that may have led to reactive behaviors such as excessive drug and alcohol use and abuse.

After experiencing this therapeutic journey at our Ibogaine Treatment clinic, patients are encouraged to reflect upon their experience and externally process their discoveries. It is during this time that past behavioral patterns, negative environments and social relationships that supported prior destructive behaviors are identified and goals are set to modify and support a future of healthier and happier life choices.

Ibogaine Addiction Therapy

Ibogaine Therapy – Phase by Phase

The ibogaine therapy experience is characterized by three distinct phases:

First Phase (4-8 hours)

ACUTE PHASE

The acute phase begins 1 to 3 hours after administration and will typically last 4 to 8 hours. Many patients report a variable of panoramic visual experiences of past memories. It’s often described as a “waking dream state” with varying experiences that may include contact with transcendent beings, passage along a lengthy path or floating through ones life. Patients often report being placed in or entering visual landscapes rather than experiencing intrusive visual or auditory hallucinations. Not all patients experience these visual phenomena, which may be related to bioavailability and interindividual variation. The neuro-reset, neuro-rebalancing, and detoxification of the addiction receptors begins immediately.

Second Phase (8-18 hours)

EVALUATIVE PHASE

The evaluative phase of ibogaine therapy begins approximately 4 to 8 hours after administration and may last between 8 to 18 hours. Many report a more neutral and reflective emotional tone. Attention is directed at evaluating the experiences of the acute phase. It is preferred to remove as much external stimuli as possible during this phase and the acute phase as the patient will become sensitive to sound, light and smell. Following the initial ten (10) hours of therapy the intensity of the experience lessens, but the patient will continue processing on a cognitive level while in a highly relaxed state.

Third Phase (24-48 hours)

RESIDUAL STIMULATION PHASE

At between 12-18 hours after administration the residual stimulation phase will begin and can last between 24 to 48 hours. The patients attention will shift back to the external environment, normal physical movement returns, and most report heightened arousal and vigilance during this period. At 24 hours, patients are considered in the “recovery phase”. This is the time to rest and be peaceful within oneself while reflecting upon the complete ibogaine therapy experience.
