The Journey

How Recovery Actually Happens

From the first conversation to the day you leave, and every day after, here is the path we walk with you.

  1. 01Step One

    A Confidential Conversation

    It begins the moment you reach out. Your first pre-screen is private, free, and carries no obligation. You tell us what you are facing and we listen.

    • Free confidential pre-screen
    • No pressure, no obligation
    • Answered by real clinical staff
    Start your free pre-screen →
  2. 02Step Two

    Medical Team Review

    Board-certified physicians review your full history, medications, and cardiac health to assess whether a program may be appropriate. Screening cannot guarantee safety.

    • Physician review of your history
    • Cardiac and lab screening
    • An honest candidacy assessment
  3. 03Step Three

    Your Personalized Treatment Plan

    Our clinical director designs a protocol built around you, not a template. You will see your plan in your private patient portal before you ever travel.

    • A protocol tailored to you
    • Visible in your patient portal
    • Clear expectations from start to finish
  4. 04Step Four

    Arrival and On-Site Stabilization

    You arrive to a calm, medically staffed environment. Any medication taper happens here, on-site, under supervision, never rushed and never alone.

    • Warm intake and baseline labs
    • Medication taper managed on-site
    • Nervous-system preparation
  5. 05Step Five

    Medically Supervised Ibogaine

    The session is conducted under continuous physician supervision with real-time cardiac monitoring and individualized dosing. Monitoring does not eliminate risk.

    • Continuous cardiac monitoring
    • Board-certified physician present
    • Precision, individualized dosing
  6. 06Step Six

    Integration and Ongoing Recovery Tracking

    Recovery does not end when you leave. Integration therapy, aftercare, and recovery tracking in your portal provide continued support after discharge. Individual outcomes vary.

    • Integration therapy and aftercare
    • Progress you can actually see
    • Support that follows you home

Patient Outcomes

Our Guests Open Their Hearts

“

I had tried everything. Rehabs, suboxone, twelve-step. Nothing touched the compulsion until ibogaine. I walked out of MindScape feeling like myself for the first time in eleven years. That was nineteen months ago and I have not looked back.

D.R.

Opioid Recovery, Canada

“

The team held me with such professionalism and warmth simultaneously. I never felt like a patient or a liability. I felt like a human being receiving something sacred. The medical rigor gave my family peace of mind. The experience gave me my life.

M.T.

Depression & Burnout, United Kingdom

“

I came to MindScape broken by twenty years of alcohol. The 5-MeO-DMT session showed me something I cannot fully put into language. What I can say is that the craving disappeared and a quiet I had never known arrived in its place.

Clinical FAQs

What You Need to Know

Ibogaine is described as unscheduled in Mexico, but that is not affirmative authorization or approval as a medicine. It has no COFEPRIS marketing authorization and remains investigational. Verify current requirements and the physician and facility credentials before booking.

Ibogaine carries cardiac and other medical risks. Screening, physician oversight, nursing support, and continuous monitoring may reduce risk, but they cannot eliminate it. No setting or provider can guarantee safety.

We do not publish a twelve-month success percentage because we do not yet have a dataset that would make one honest. We measure outcomes from a pre-arrival wellness baseline using validated scales repeated over months, with 90-day aftercare. Individual outcomes vary, and no result is guaranteed.

An ibogaine session typically lasts 12 to 24 hours. The first several hours can involve vivid, rapid visionary imagery often described as a life review, followed by a period of introspection. Experiences and recovery needs vary.

You may absolutely come alone, and many patients do. Our team provides complete on-the-ground support from arrival to departure. If you prefer to bring a trusted person, we welcome companions and can arrange accommodation for them in Cozumel.

Program investment starts at $7,500 for the 5-day retreat and $8,500 for the 7-day clinical program. Condition-specific programs of 10 to 14 days run $11,500 to $15,500. Couples, extended-stay, and residence tiers can differ. All-inclusive pricing covers accommodation, meals, medical supervision, and program-specific integration.

The core program is 7 days. Alcohol programs run 10 to 12 days, opioid and SSRI programs 10 to 14 days, and the Parkinson's program is a single 14-day tier. Other and extended-stay options vary. Every treatment program includes 90-day aftercare.

We do not publish a success-rate percentage because we do not yet have a dataset that would make one honest. Published human evidence includes small observational studies with different designs and follow-up periods. We measure each guest from a pre-arrival baseline through follow-up and provide 90-day aftercare. Individual outcomes vary, and no result is guaranteed.

MindScape Retreat is located on Ave. Rafael E. Melgar in Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Cozumel has an international airport and ferry connections. Verify current travel schedules and entry requirements with official sources before booking.

Preparation depends on the substance, medications, and your medical history. The clinical team provides individualized instructions after review. Never stop or change prescribed medication without guidance from your treating clinician.

Every treatment program includes 90-day aftercare with weekly physician and psychologist video consultations and alumni community access. Programs of 10 days or longer also include a one-month microdose supply, dispensed at discharge, with the phase typically starting 2 to 3 months after treatment under physician direction. Integration supports recovery but does not guarantee a lasting outcome.

Ibogaine is being studied for depression and anxiety, but evidence is limited and no individual benefit is guaranteed. Programs include screening, physician oversight, and integration support. Suitability requires medical review.

5-MeO-DMT is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound with a short acute experience. At MindScape, it is offered as a complementary session within ibogaine programs or as a standalone 3 to 5 day program. It remains investigational, and no individual benefit is guaranteed.

Eligibility depends on a clinician's review of cardiovascular health, psychiatric history, pregnancy status, medications, supplements, and other risks. Screening identifies reasons a program may not be appropriate, but it cannot identify every risk or guarantee safety. Do not change prescribed medication without guidance from your treating clinician.

Travel options include Cozumel International Airport or Cancun International Airport followed by ground transportation and a ferry. Verify current airline and ferry schedules with official sources. MindScape provides pickup from the Cozumel airport or ferry terminal.

24/7 Medical Monitoring

Monitored From the Moment You Arrive

On the day you arrive, our clinical team fits you with a chest monitor strap built on technology we developed ourselves. From that first hour until discharge, it streams your heart rhythm and vitals to the medical team on site, so you are monitored 24/7, before, during, and after treatment.

Fitted the day you arrive

Your chest monitor strap goes on during arrival intake (before any treatment begins) and stays with you through your stay.

Our own technology, built in-house

Your monitor runs on technology MindScape developed itself, hardware and software purpose-built for continuous care around the clock during your stay.

Read by clinicians, 24/7

Your cardiac rhythm and vitals stream in real time to the physicians and nurses on site around the clock, day and night, not just during sessions.

Our Commitment

We Will Never Rush You Out the Door

There is an uncomfortable economic truth about residential treatment: the fastest way to make a clinic more profitable is to shorten every stay and turn the rooms over faster. We could run that model. We refuse to, because our goal is not to get you in and out. It is for your treatment to succeed. We size our treatment programs to what recovery actually requires: unhurried preparation, the treatment itself, and the first days of integration while the neuroplastic window is open.

We hold this line because we see what the opposite produces. Many of the people who arrive in Cozumel have been through treatment somewhere else before, and what they describe is remarkably consistent: a program that ran on a schedule, a discharge as soon as the acute phase passed, and the hardest part of recovery left to happen alone at home. In our clinical experience, when treatment does not hold, the most common reason is not the medicine. It is a process that was cut short.

So our commitment is simple: we will never rush you out the door. Discharge is a clinical decision our medical team makes with you, never a turnover decision made around you. If you need more time to stabilize, to process, or simply to feel ready, that starts as a conversation with your physician, and if it means extending your stay, admissions confirms exactly what that costs with you before anything changes. We would rather treat fewer people properly than more people quickly.
