Ibogaine is extremely effective at treating alcohol dependence and withdrawal. Detoxing from alcohol can be dangerous and even deadly without the right treatment, especially if you’ve been drinking heavily over a long period of time. Alcohol withdrawal happens when someone who’s been drinking excessively over an extended period of time suddenly stops. Withdrawing from most substances is uncomfortable but alcohol is one of very few substances that has a potentially fatal withdrawal period, and symptoms can be life-threatening. Initial symptoms can include anxiety, tremors, sweating, and nausea. But more severe symptoms can include fever, mental confusion, and ultimately seizures.
It is possible to get through alcohol withdrawal safely. But it’s important to get the right treatment and not to try to quit drinking, especially cold turkey, on your own. The safest way to detox from alcohol is under medical supervision. Our clinic offers both the medically controlled environment along with cutting edge Ibogaine treatment and wellness programs. Ibogaine has been incredibly effective in treating not only the symptoms of withdrawal but also the underlying cause of the problem. Many people that suffer from alcohol abuse also suffer from underlying traumas. Ibogaine has unique pharmacological properties, including a broad spectrum of binding actions on receptor sites as an agonist (hallucinogenic) and antagonist (anti addictive). The experience of ibogaine occurs in two parts, termed the visionary phase and the introspection phase. The visionary phase has been described asan enhanced “oneirogen” state, referring to the dreamlike nature of its psychedelic effects, and lasts upwards of 4 hours. The second phase, the introspection phase, is responsible for the “psychotherapeutic” effects. It can allow people to transcend their fears and negative emotions. Ibogaine creates a state of consciousness similar to dreaming while fully conscious. The person is aware enough that memories, life experiences, and trauma can be processed. The root of the addiction can be targeted and dealt with. Once a person has completed the Ibogaine treatment, they will feel a profound sense of relief and the desire to live life again. The mind will continue healing even after the Ibogaine protocol is finalized.
Our facility also offers personalized aftercare programs and resources to help with the transition back to normal life. Many people have achieved meaningful change in their lives through the Iboga experience and continue to practice a healthy, wellness-driven lifestyle.
