11 years of crack cocaine. Lost a business and a marriage to it. Came to MindScape after my cardiologist told me I needed to stop. The intake screening paid specific attention to my cardiac history given stimulant use. T...
I'm writing this for people who are trapped on Zoloft and can't get off. Took it for 8 years and discontinuation syndrome was keeping me stuck. My prescribing doctor kept suggesting the symptoms were just my underlying d...
I found kratom during a stressful period and just never stopped. What I know now is that kratom acts on opioid receptors and the dependency is real. When I finally decided to stop I went through three weeks of acute with...
Kratom at 35 grams daily for 3 years. I kept telling myself it was natural so it couldn't really be a problem. But I was planning every day around dosing, spending hundreds of dollars a month, snapping at people when I w...
Alcohol for 15 years. The trajectory is familiar but living it is different from reading about it. I lost a business, a marriage, the trust of people I loved. I was in outpatient treatment when someone mentioned ibogaine...
12 years of daily drinking. I was a high-functioning version until I wasn't anymore. Tried naltrexone, Antabuse, AA, inpatient. Something always brought me back. My sister found MindScape and paid for the deposit before...
I'm a survivor of childhood abuse that I kept buried for years. The PTSD had been running my life for years. EMDR helped some but never got to the root of it. A colleague who had done ibogaine for addiction mentioned Min...
I'm a therapist so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for a persistent sense of meaninglessness. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological work, some difficult...
7 years of daily drinking. I was a high-functioning version until I wasn't anymore. Tried naltrexone, Antabuse, AA, inpatient. Something always brought me back. My sister found MindScape and paid for the deposit before t...
As a contractor I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 7 years on Percocet. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to get...
Cross-addicted to opioids and benzodiazepines for 11 years. Each substance was partly managing the withdrawal from another and untangling them was impossible on my own. MindScape has specific experience with polydrug pat...
I'm a retired executive so I came with some background knowledge about what I was considering. Came for a persistent sense of meaninglessness. The ibogaine portion was about 30 hours of intense psychological work, some d...
I researched the combined ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT protocol specifically for anxiety that had been treatment-resistant. MindScape was recommended in the psychedelic research community as having the strongest medical protoc...
I was a binge drinker, not daily, but the damage was the same. 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 wo...
I started with prescribed patches after surgery and they became something else. Tried Suboxone twice and methadone once. They managed withdrawal but didn't touch what was driving the using. My sister paid for MindScape a...
120mg of methadone for 5 years. The clinic kept recommending I lower my dose but every attempt ended with withdrawal severe enough to derail everything. I'd given up on ever being off methadone completely. MindScape was...
11 years of treatment-resistant depression. Tried Prozac, Lexapro, Effexor, none of which fully worked. The side effects were often as bad as the depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting that made...
The work accident was legitimate. I need to say that because I've been dismissed before. I was prescribed Vicodin for 7 years and the dependency happened gradually and then completely. By the end I was buying extra on th...
Got into fentanyl through buying what I thought was oxy off a friend. 3 years later I was using just to stay out of withdrawal. The sickness from fentanyl is relentless, sweats, restless legs that don't stop, vomiting, b...

I run a small business and I've been managing high-functioning depression for 7 years. Showed up, did the work, kept commitments. Inside running on empty. ECT wasn't something I wanted and I wasn't eligible for most tria...
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 22 hours. Honestly brutal in the physic...
I'd been through residential trauma treatment before coming to MindScape. The trauma was real and the treatment helped partially. But there was a layer I couldn't access through conventional work. My therapist actually s...
Getting off methadone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 9 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape...
