About Experience Ibogaine Treatment Center
Experience Ibogaine uses ibogaine-assisted treatment to help clients detox from substances and heal from mental health conditions. Their medically monitored ibogaine experience offers a more comfortable withdrawal experience, sometimes with no cravings or side effects. Their medical director provides decades of experience in ibogaine-assisted treatment and emergency medicine. Combined, their medical staff bring 50 years of experience in ibogaine treatment.
Safe And Tested Care
Experience Ibogaine begins treatment with a thorough medical assessment. This includes a full blood lab, urinalysis, and testing of the heart and liver to make sure each client is physically ready for treatment. Once ready, Experience Ibogaine provides a small test dose of ibogaine before beginning the full flood dose. Typically, the experience of ibogaine lasts 8-12 hours. Clients stay under medical observation in a private room during the experience.
Person-Focused Healing
After the psychedelic effects wear off, clients can start group and 1:1 therapy. Workshops help clients see the effects of their decisions, and how they can maintain their sobriety after treatment at Experience Ibogaine. Other 1:1 coaching sessions help clients plan for their next steps in treatment. On average, clients stay at Experience Ibogaine for 7 days, though they can extend or shorten their time.
Individualized Treatment
Experience Ibogaine treats just 2-3 clients at a time for a small client-to-staff ratio. Clients can enjoy private rooms, an on-site chef who cooks to their preferences, and a rooftop with views of the Pacific Ocean. To help with detox, Experience Ibogaine also provides a sauna and swimming pool. They also pick clients up from San Diego’s airport before driving them into Mexico.
