Our Programs at The Iboga Wellness Institute — A Transformational Path to Healing

Our-Programs-at-The-Iboga-Wellness-Institute-—-A-Transformational-Path-to-Healing

Introduction: A New Paradigm in Healing

At The Iboga Wellness Institute, we specialize in life-changing care for individuals whose conditions haven’t responded to conventional therapies. Our ibogaine therapy programs combine breakthrough science, compassionate clinical support, and holistic healing to reset the nervous system, address underlying patterns, and empower lasting wellbeing.

Ibogaine works differently from traditional treatments — rather than only managing symptoms, it interacts with multiple brain pathways to promote neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, and psychological insight. This offers a path forward for people who have tried everything else without success. 

Why Our Programs Are Different

Conventional treatments often manage symptoms but don’t create systemic change. Pain medication, antidepressants, or talk therapy alone can plateau — and many programs don’t address the neurological root causes of conditions such as dependence, trauma, chronic pain, or neurological dysregulation.

In contrast, ibogaine therapy is designed to access the brain’s own healing mechanisms. Emerging evidence suggests ibogaine may support changes in neurotransmitter systems and even promote neuronal growth, mechanisms underlying its potential benefits. 

At The Iboga Wellness Institute, every program is anchored in medical supervision, safety protocols, evidence-informed practices, and individualized care — grounded in Western safety standards with the depth of transformative healing.

Our Core Treatment Programs

Below is an overview of our primary programs, each of which has its own dedicated page with more detail and success outcomes:

1. Detoxification Program — Break Free from Addiction

Our Detoxification Program offers a powerful alternative to traditional detox methods. Rather than enduring days or weeks of painful withdrawal and cravings, medically supervised ibogaine therapy can reset brain chemistry and interrupt addiction patterns quickly and effectively.

Many people seeking ibogaine treatment report that withdrawal symptoms diminish rapidly compared with conventional detox services — a phenomenon linked to ibogaine’s impact on neurotransmitter systems. 

Who this helps: Individuals struggling with opioid, alcohol, stimulant, or multi-substance dependency ready to reclaim their lives.

Explore our Detoxification Program  — where ibogaine’s impact on addiction reflects transformational biology, not temporary relief.

2. Medical Conditions Program — Relief for Neurological & Chronic Conditions

Chronic pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, and post-concussion symptoms often resist traditional care.

Our Medical Conditions Program focuses on supporting the body and brain — including neural pathways and inflammatory networks — through specialized ibogaine therapy combined with rehabilitative supports.

Who this helps: People living with persistent neurological conditions or chronic pain seeking an integrated approach.

Learn more about how our Medical Conditions Program works — where science, nervous system reboot, and personalized care come together.

3. Mental Health Program — Healing Trauma & Deep Emotional Wounds

When therapy hasn’t fully healed trauma, PTSD, severe anxiety, or lingering depression, ibogaine can facilitate deep psychological processing that complements talk therapy.

In our Mental Health Program, licensed clinicians help guide individuals through breakthroughs, emotional releases, and insight work that traditional therapy alone may not achieve.

Who this helps: Individuals with persistent emotional or trauma-related conditions that have not responded fully to conventional therapy.

What Every Program Includes

While each program is tailored to specific goals, all share core components designed to maximize results and support safety:

  1. Medical Excellence
    All treatments include U.S.-trained facilitators, continuous cardiac monitoring, and comprehensive pre-treatment screening to ensure medical safety and readiness.
  2. Therapeutic Support
    Licensed therapists provide integration support, helping you make sense of experiences and build lasting skills for life after treatment.
  3. Holistic Healing Modalities
    Daily therapeutic massage, guided meditation, nutrition planning, mindful movement, and sound healing all contribute to a well-rounded healing environment.
  4. Aftercare & Long-Term Support
    Virtual therapy sessions, personalized recovery plans, and peer support options help ensure gains are reinforced long after you leave our facility.

Safety: Core to Every Program

Ibogaine is not without risks when administered outside clinical oversight. This is why every program at The Iboga Wellness Institute integrates robust safety measures — including detailed cardiac evaluation and around-the-clock medical support — to ensure client wellbeing throughout the process.

While ibogaine remains a Schedule I substance in the United States, its therapeutic potential is being explored carefully in clinical settings abroad, and larger research initiatives are underway to better understand its mechanisms and safety profile.

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.

Your Comfort Matters:

  • 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.
