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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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 Suboxone completely. MindScape was t...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

Alcohol for 18 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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more

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

Three tours of Iraq. I came back different and never fully came back. The hypervigilance, the dreams, the way I couldn't be fully present anywhere. Tried everything the VA offered. My psychiatrist had run through six med...Read more

As a nurse I told myself I had it under control. Functional addict for 7 years on opioids. Then my tolerance outpaced what I could afford and things got dark fast. MindScape wasn't cheap and I borrowed money to get there...Read more

Degenerative disc disease for 11 years. Went through years of physical therapy and pain management combined. The pain was real and constant and eventually I was on opioids long enough to develop a dependency that complic...Read more

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...Read more

I was a firefighter for 18 years and the cumulative exposure caught up with me. My relationships were suffering. I was irritable, hypervigilant, unable to relax anywhere. Sleep was impossible without medication. A collea...Read more

A work injury with permanent nerve damage and 3 years of pain management that eventually became as much of a problem as the pain. I came to MindScape because I was opioid dependent and the pain was still there. They addr...Read more

My addiction involved opioids, benzos, and alcohol at various points, often simultaneously. 12 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substances. Th...Read more

120mg of methadone for 6 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...Read more
