Ibogaine Treatment
Treatment is a little different with this medication than with other drug addiction treatments. The total process takes about 7 days, though may take a little longer depending on certain circumstances. The first two days you have already spent relaxing and being medically evaluated. The reason for this is that the staff needs to test and evaluate your medical condition and will want to get an understanding of who you are so they can give you the best environment for the treatment.
Tonight you will start taking the Ibogaine as mild withdrawals start to set in. The dosage is uniquely determined for each patient by our experienced physicians and the influence of the Ibogaine usually lasts 24-36 hours with differing phases of intensity. During this time you will be confined to bed in your private room as walking is not easy during this time. There are medical caregivers and nurses as well as a doctor there at all times, though the focus of this time is to look back on your life with a different perspective to really understand how the addiction is affecting you. This is also used to get rid of resentment and pent up emotions that can trigger the addiction.
After the effects of the Ibogaine have subsided, patients can call their loved ones to get reassurance during this time. A diet counselor will create a diet that will help you get back on track. Staff will also keep in touch after you go home to help you have the best results.
Safety of Ibogaine
As long as it is administered in a responsible manner and proper medical screening is done beforehand, it is completely safe. It is a natural substance that has been used for centuries and it has been proven scientifically to have no neurotoxic effects on the human brain. It needs to be stressed that Ibogaine does have possible health risks if proper precautions are not taken and so that is why our board certified physicians who are also exceptionally knowledgeable about Ibogaine treatment are absolutely necessary. Full blood tests and Cardiogram, EKG, and any other tests deemed necessary will be performed before any treatment.
Why it Works
It is also helpful to know why Ibogaine works. This is because it deals with both the physical addiction to the drug as well as the emotional addiction to it. This drug allows patients to get to a psychological state where they are able to get rid of the baggage that is leading them to addiction so they can break free. This is why it has an 80%-90% success rate, as measured 6 months to 1 year after treatment.
