The following concisely describes the levels and types of alcohol drinkers. It is an insightful scale for self examination.

Now look at this graphic, "Addiction and Recovery" http://www.in.gov/judiciary/
ijlap/docs/jellinek.pdf. Notice that the articulated objective of full detox and recovery is described as "An enlightened and Interesting way of life opens a road to higher levels than ever before" This is what IBOGAINE TREATMENT is all about. In essence, it can greatly accelerate and deepen the recovery and detox process. One may experience something of a fundamental shift in perspective, augmenting the detox/recovery process. Ibogaine does, in nearly all cases administered attentively, interrupt the physical need and the crazing. Combined with a clearer view, one may move on.
IbogaQuest uses the powerful plant medicine Ibogaine combined with encouraged personal integration and spiritual growth (mindfulness-awareness) to help you understand how to be sober and about staying sober. If you have been quitting drinking and are a recovering alcoholic, Ibogaine therapy is well worth considering for a life of ongoing sobriety and relief from substance dependency.
With so much information available regarding alcohol use, abuse and dependency along with defining "what is an alcoholic?", IbogaQuest focuses instead on alcohol recovery and maintaining a sober mindset. The Internet contains volumes and we are not positing IbogaQuest as having any final word. The 12 step Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program is the best known and in many cases an effective choice among alcohol support groups and programs. Their emphasis on alcohol abuse and dependency, how to control drinking and get sober can help many who are intent on substance addiction recovery. But many people often find that something more is needed. Something relating to personal integration and general comfort. We do not discount the merit of the 12 Steps program, but we can not help but take issue with #1 " We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable". Everything is always changing all of the time, including all of us. To limit oneself to yesterday's views of yourself or of others is constricting and just not a clear understanding . With the recognition of the ever-changing comes options and responsibilities. One navigational tool, affective for many and worthy of your consideration, is Ibogaine.
At IbogaQuest we work with the living alcoholic, not just regarding alcohol rehab but with the underlying residual alcohol experience of depression, social anxiety, PTSD, OCD and anger which continues to haunt many who have stopped drinking. Many people often remain uncomfortable in their skin with continued longing for personal integration and relief from deep seated discontent. While situational depression is common to us all, the use of alcohol and opiates to medicate only masks something deeply seated in our lives. To gain a greater sense of how Ibogaquest views this topic, we invite you to read this article.
At IbogaQuest we administer the extraordinary powerful plant medicine, Ibogaine, in a spacious, protected, aesthetic Mexican retreat setting. IbogaQuest is staffed with experienced and caring providers who encourage you to uncover many of the past traumas and abuses which have led to dependence on alcohol and general substance addiction. The IbogaQuest setting and approach, while professional, is not clinical or sterile. The approach is highly personalized as we accept and serve no more than 2 people at any 1 time and try to limit ourselves to 2 sessions monthly. You become our unwavering focus.
Ibogaine works deep in the psyche. There is little doubt that Ibogaine, in nearly all instances, will relieve you from the physical addiction and craving associated with alcohol (also opiates) recovery. In addition you will almost certainly experience, in the form of visions or relived occurrences, material difficult to otherwise expose. [It is important to note that these "visions"etc are not guaranteed as we all experience things differently. But still, the Ibogaine will have a positive influence regarding your well-being and relief from physical dependency] This combination often encourages a feeling and experience of great clarity and the ability to move beyond those obstacles and confusion.
IbogaQuest is not for everyone. If you are addressing a drinking situation where there is even a remote chance of experiencing Delirium Tremens (DTs) or have a severely compromised liver you would be better served by an Ibogaine center with a full medical staff. We would be pleased to discuss your condition and make appropriate recommendations. We are here to provide service and to offer guidance. Do not hesitate to write or call.
