5-MeO-DMT Therapy

Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for depression that wasn't responding to anything. Dr. Reyes spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine came first, about 30...

Alcohol

I started drinking at 14 and was dependent by 20. By the time I came to MindScape I had more failed sobriety attempts than I could count. The longest stretch was 11 months. The pre-treatment psychological work at MindSca...

Fentanyl Addiction

After waking up not knowing how I got there I didn't think I had much runway left. I weighed 110 pounds when I arrived. The staff didn't comment, just got me on IV nutrition for two days while running cardiac screening....

Opioid Addiction

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 34 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...

Opioid Addiction

The chronic back pain was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed hydrocodone for 7 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying ext...

5-MeO-DMT Therapy

I had done ayahuasca twice but nothing prepared me for this. The combination protocol is thoughtfully sequenced. The ibogaine session is substantial on its own, about 34 hours of deep introspection. I had significant nau...

Combined protocol exceeded what I hoped for

Came for the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol, primarily for a general disconnection from myself I'd been carrying for years. Dr. Reyes spent real time on my history before designing the session. The ibogaine cam...

Methadone & Suboxone

8 years on Suboxone. It was the right call at the time, it got me off oxycodone and stabilized my life. But I reached a point where I wanted to be completely free of maintenance medication. Coming off Suboxone is brutal...
