Multiple Substances

My addiction involved oxycodone, Xanax, and alcohol in various combinations at various points, often simultaneously. 9 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed f...

Methadone & Suboxone

Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 12 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...

PTSD & Trauma

My PTSD came from a childhood that included ongoing abuse. I couldn't be in crowds. Hadn't slept through the night in two years. Self-medicating with alcohol just to function. A friend who had done ibogaine for grief tol...

I came to Cozumel expecting the worst and hoping for something I couldn't name. The medical staff at MindScape ran a proper cardiac workup before approving my case. The session was 28 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...

Seven years with Parkinson's. The dyskinesias from my medications were almost as bad as the disease itself. Involuntary movements, jerking, the whole mess. I went to MindScape hoping the low-dose ibogaine protocol might...

I came with no prior psychedelic experience. The combination protocol is thoughtfully sequenced. The ibogaine session is substantial on its own, about 34 hours of deep introspection. I had significant nausea throughout a...
