OUR TREATMENT CENTERS

Healing Awaits at Your Renewal Medicine Retreat

Ibogaine is a plant-based psychoactive medicine that resets the brain's reward pathways to interrupt addiction and promote neurological healing.

Ibogaine works by promoting neuroplasticity—triggering the growth of new neural connections while resetting dysregulated brain pathways involved in addiction, trauma, and mood disorders.

THE IBOGAINE ADVANTAGE

How Ibogaine Therapy Transforms Lives

Discover the profound therapeutic benefits of evidence-based ibogaine treatment. From addiction interruption to neurological restoration, our medically supervised protocols address the root causes of suffering for lasting healing and transformation.

Addiction Treatment & Withdrawal Relief

Ibogaine interrupts addiction at the neurological level by resetting the brain’s reward pathways and dramatically reducing withdrawal symptoms from opioids, alcohol, and stimulants. It addresses both physical dependence and the psychological patterns sustaining addictive behavior.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Recovery

Ibogaine promotes neurogenesis and reduces neuroinflammation, supporting repair of damaged neural pathways. Clients often experience improvements in cognitive function, memory, emotional regulation, and overall brain health following treatment.

Neuroplasticity & Brain Rewiring

Ibogaine catalyzes profound neuroplastic change, enabling the brain to form new neural connections and reorganize existing pathways. This facilitates deep healing by allowing the brain to break free from entrenched patterns of suffering and create new, healthier responses.

Mental Clarity & Emotional Balance

Clients report profound improvements in mental clarity, emotional stability, and psychological wellbeing. Ibogaine helps process unresolved trauma, reduce anxiety and depression, and restore emotional equilibrium at a fundamental level.

Chronic Pain & Neuropathic Pain Management

Ibogaine demonstrates significant efficacy in relieving neuropathic and chronic pain conditions. By modulating pain receptors and reducing neuroinflammation, treatment can provide lasting relief where conventional pain management has failed.

Post-Treatment Days: Integration & New Patterns The days after ibogaine treatment are critical. Your brain is in a state of heightened neuroplasticity—heightened learning and healing capacity. We use this time to:

  • Process what came up during treatment with daily therapy sessions
  • Learn new coping skills to replace old survival patterns
  • Address any remaining emotional material
  • Practice mindfulness and grounding techniques
  • Begin rebuilding your relationship with yourself
  • Connect with other people going through similar healing (if you choose)
  • Create a detailed plan for continuing your healing at home

Days 3-4: The Healing Experience Ibogaine therapy for psychological healing is profound and often life-changing. Here’s what happens:

  • You receive ibogaine in a safe, peaceful setting with medical staff present
  • The experience typically lasts 4-12 hours, during which you’re lying comfortably with eyes closed
  • You’ll wear an eye mask and headphones with music specifically designed to guide the ibogaine journey to its deepest healing potential
  • Many people report reviewing their life experiences from a new perspective, gaining the freedom to reframe old narratives
  • Traumatic memories often surface, but without the overwhelming emotional charge
  • Deep insights about patterns, relationships, and self-worth emerge naturally
  • A trained therapist is present to support you through difficult moments
  • Medical monitoring continues throughout to ensure physical safety
  • Many clients discover or reconnect with their spirituality during this process, experiencing a profound sense of connection—whether to God, universal consciousness, or something larger than themselves

What clients describe:

“I saw my trauma, but it didn’t destroy me this time.”
“I forgave myself for things I’ve carried for 20 years.”
“I understood why I’ve been the way I’ve been.”
“For the first time, I felt peace.”

Days 1-2: Building Trust & Understanding Before any treatment, we need to understand your story and what you’re carrying. This phase includes:

  • In-depth sessions with our licensed therapist
  • Review of your trauma history in a safe, confidential, judgment-free environment
  • Assessment of current symptoms and how they impact your life
  • Medical clearance to ensure treatment safety
  • Preparation for the ibogaine experience with an ibogaine workbook designed by our professionals
  • Education about what to expect, how to get the most from treatment, and what the experience feels like

This isn’t about forcing you to relive trauma—it’s about understanding what we’re helping you heal. We move at your pace, with compassion and respect for your journey.

  • Daily physical therapy sessions to retrain movement patterns and restore function
  • Occupational therapy to help you relearn daily activities with your improved mobility and reduced pain

What Happens:

  • You’ll receive ibogaine in carefully calibrated stages, customized to your specific condition and body chemistry
  • The experience is introspective and often deeply reflective—many clients describe profound insights about their condition and healing
  • Our medical team monitors your heart rhythm, blood pressure, and vital signs continuously throughout the entire process
  • You’re never alone—medical staff and support personnel are with you around the clock, ensuring your safety and comfort
  • Most clients begin noticing symptom improvements within 24-48 hours of treatment

Your Comfort Matters:

  • Private, peaceful recovery room designed for healing
  • 24/7 access to medical staff and emotional support
  • Nutritious meals and hydration tailored to your needs
  • A safe, supportive environment where you can focus entirely on healing

Before treatment begins, we need to understand exactly what’s happening in your body and brain. Our medical team conducts:

  • Heart screening (EKG and cardiac evaluation)
  • Movement and function assessment
  • Pain and symptom mapping
  • Blood work to check overall health
  • Review of all current medications and treatments

We use this information to design your personalized treatment protocol—the right dose, the right timing, the right support therapies. Important: If any test results require additional caution or monitoring, we have the option to begin with micro-dosing protocols on Day 2, ensuring the safest possible approach for your unique situation.

You’ll wake up after treatment feeling different. Most people describe an absence of withdrawal symptoms (or minor, manageable ones), dramatically reduced cravings, mental clarity they haven’t felt in years, and physical energy returning. Your brain enters a window of heightened neuroplasticity—a critical period when new patterns can take root. We maximize this opportunity with:

  • Daily medical monitoring with physician check-ins to ensure continued stability and assess how you’re feeling physically and mentally
  • Individual therapy sessions to process what came up during treatment, understand the insights you gained, and begin emotional healing
  • Addiction counseling to help you understand your triggers and patterns, and build practical relapse prevention skills
  • Group discussions with others in recovery to share experiences and build connection
  • Physical activity to rebuild your body’s strength and natural endorphin production
  • Nutritional guidance to support your healing brain and body
  • Sleep optimization which is critical for maintaining sobriety and emotional stability
  • Reconnection work to help you rediscover who you are without substances

We strongly encourage working with an integration coach in the months following treatment to support your continued healing and help you navigate the challenges of rebuilding your life.

Before we start, we need to make sure your body is ready. This critical preparation phase includes:

  • Complete medical evaluation including comprehensive cardiac screening with EKG to assess heart rhythm and function
  • Detailed substance use assessment to understand your patterns, history, and what substances you’ve been using
  • Blood work to check liver and kidney function, electrolyte balance, and overall health markers
  • Stabilization support if you’re currently in acute withdrawal—we provide medical comfort measures to ease symptoms
  • Education sessions about what’s going to happen during treatment, why ibogaine works at the neurological level, and what to expect
  • Nutritional support to prepare your body for healing, including hydration and vitamin supplementation if needed
  • Mental preparation with our psychologist or wellness coach to address fears, answer questions, and help you feel ready

We’re checking for any medical issues that could complicate treatment and making sure you’re as physically and mentally prepared as possible before beginning. This isn’t just paperwork—it’s laying the foundation for your safety and success.

You receive ibogaine in a single calculated dose based on your weight and substance tolerance—lying comfortably with an eye mask and curated music designed to deepen the therapeutic experience. Connected to continuous cardiac monitoring with medical staff present throughout, the 4-12 hour journey allows withdrawal symptoms to dissolve rather than intensify while your brain resets multiple neurotransmitter systems simultaneously.

What happens during treatment: Physically: Within hours, your withdrawal symptoms begin disappearing. Most clients report feeling them melt away rather than intensify. By the next morning, physical withdrawal is essentially over—something that normally takes 7-14 excruciating days happens in less than 36 hours with minimal discomfort.

Psychologically: Many people experience a deeply introspective journey. You might see memories, understand patterns, process why you started using. Some clients report conversations with deceased loved ones or spiritual experiences. Others simply experience visual patterns and deep rest. There’s no “typical” experience—each person’s journey is unique to what they need to heal.

Neurologically: This is where ibogaine is truly revolutionary. It’s resetting multiple neurotransmitter systems simultaneously—dopamine, serotonin, opioid receptors—back to pre-addiction states. The physical dependence is being broken at the cellular level.
