About Your Treatment

At IbogaQuest we are providers of Ibogaine, the setting in which to take it, and answers to questions regarding it. It is the spirit medicine of the Ibogaine which provides therapy.

Our precepts are:

Do no harm
Work from the heart
Pay attention

Addictive patterns take multiple forms, stemming from our most nascent years through emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma, leading us to the accumulation of addictions.

The principle interest of IbogaQuest revolves around insight leading to potential growth and transformation ... ferreting out that from which we have become so adept at avoiding, using the powerful medicine spirit of Iboga.

We feel most comfortable assisting with:

Addiction interruption
Eating disorders
Mood disorders
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Depression
Encouraging fundamental insight and personal growth

All situations are unique and open for consideration.

"Success" is always a personal matter. Most people who have worked with us have declared that, over time, if not immediately, much was revealed to them of a healing nature and they are edified by the experience.

It is essential to add that no reputable Ibogaine provider will declare this as their own healing power. As a guide and facilitator it is abundantly clear that we are here to allow the medicine to bring its own power and insights over which we have minimal influence. We employ the protocols based upon the collective experience of the community of providers and set a stage for working closely with you.

IbogaQuest has participated in a wide range of treatments, from opiate addiction to people with an inner quest and a broad spectrum of independent and interlocking interests. IbogaQuest is part of a federation of Ibogaine provider world-wide, including doctors, researchers and very experienced providers who, with total generosity, provide answers and share their experience. This contributes to Ibogaine becoming more studied anecdotally as well as in the laboratory.

The intention of IbogaQuest is to provide a supportive, aesthetic, legal environment where a person can have an Ibogaine experience and treatment relating to psychological-spiritual development and addiction interruption. We emphasize that we are not here as therapists ... we are here as guides ... based on our own experience.

What to expect during Treatment:

Addictions and patterns develop on multiple levels ... physical, social, spiritual and psychological. Ibogaine seems quite effective in allowing you to experience these addictive patterns of the mind with a different and largely unexpected view.

For your own sake, make sure that your health conditions meet the requirements for an Ibogaine treatment. Ibogaine itself is non-toxic, but requires a cardiovascular system that is in good health. That is why, in case you are not 100% sure of your physical condition, we require that you get an EKG prior to your scheduled treatment.

Dehydration could happen very easily during an Ibogaine treatment.

Don't drink coffee or dehydrating or stimulating beverage for a day prior to treatment.
Hydrate your body well for at least 24 hours prior to treatment. We suggest you eat lightly and drink a lot of water and/or Gatorade, juice, Pedialite, or other hydrating and nourishing drink.
Before you ingest the Ibogaine capsules you need to first refresh your kidneys with about 2 glasses of water.

We allow 36 hours +/- for treatment, broken down as follows:

The first 12 hours are in a deep session, where you will be lying down and not moving much at all.
You will not be eating, and it is encouraged to eat lightly the day before treatment.
You will be aware of your surroundings and able to talk to others, but you will not be able to move your body.
During treatment you will not be disturbed, other than occasional checks by us to make sure you are well.
The following 24 +/- hours are a time for connecting back into the world, for reflection, and to regain bodily strength.
During this time we will be available to assist you in any way needed. You will begin eating again. You probably won't sleep much and will be in a sort of quasi-dream state.

After Your Treatment

As you begin to connect back into your body and with the world you are free to relax, explore town, go for walks, or whatever feels best to you.

IbogaQuest now offers an extended aftercare experience. We often find that it is in the best interest of our guests to extend their time here, after their treatment. This gives more time to assimilate the experience, receive other integrative therapies, and take some time to allow the resetting work to take hold.

If you are interested in looking into and discussing aftercare options, see our page on IbogaQuest Aftercare.

Medical Support

Our sole on-site monitoring is weight, blood pressure and pulse readings.

As back-up medical support we have available:

24-hour First Aid Station, in town and within minutes of our facility
24-hour ambulance service
Two medical doctors on-call nearby, available day or night
Full world-class hospitals in Cuernavaca, 10 miles away

At IbogaQuest we administer Ibogaine obtained from reputable sources and in doses agreed as highly effective, at levels very unlikely to cause undo physical stress. We count on you to be candid about your condition. Though you will be asked to sign a disclaimer, our precaution is really about your well being.

The IbogaQuest setting consists of a spacious house, with a bungalow (or casita), separated by a 100 ft of walkway. Each person has a private room. It is not a "clinic". It is a comfortable, protected container in a spacious flowering setting.

There is a small shrine where you are encouraged to place things/items/photos which might have a special value to you. Included are a few ceremonial elements, which might include Bwiti music and smoke purification. We also try to oblige elements that you wish to bring or include for enhancement of your experience.

Payment

In order to schedule and reserve your space, you will need to send a 20% deposit to our account in a US bank. Balance of your payment needs to be received when you arrive here in cash and in full before starting treatment.

Please contact us for more information about prices which are, of course, subjective, depending on your situation and requirements.
