I had heard about ibogaine and the incredible benefits people claimed it could provide, but I had also read about the potential cardiovascular risks. After doing a lot of research, I found this place. I was a little hesitant because the 10-day treatment is expensive, but now that I’m back home, I can honestly say it was worth every penny. From the moment I arrived, they picked me up at the airport. Frankie, the manager, is an incredibly warm and friendly person. Sofía and the entire nursing team encouraged me every day to believe that I could become the best version of myself—and they were right. Dr. JJ didn’t just take care of me; he created a personalized protocol so I knew exactly what I would be taking each day and at what time. I can honestly say this treatment isn’t easy. You have to face your greatest enemy YOUR OWN MIND. But once you make it through your Grey Day, everything begins to change for the better, and after the Bufo session, your Glow Day truly begins. I will never stop thanking these amazing people for the dedication they put into making sure every aspect of the treatment benefits their patients. Every detail is carefully designed to help you succeed and leave feeling satisfied—from the psychotherapy sessions, yoga, and massages to watching the sunset with Dr. JJ or Frank. If, like me, you think this sounds too good to be true, go and experience it for yourself. It’s something everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. 🙌🏻

I had one of the best experiences ever. The staff really helped a lot in my PTSD healing journey, it's a warmth and love that I didn't expect to receive, everyone is so attentive and caring. The meals are the best part aside from the ibogaine, I recommend Bernie's smoothies. Those 10 days truly made me perceive things in a different light and the buffo is life changing. Special thanks to Frankie and Dr. JJ for the rides in downtown, the sunset really is more beautiful in Cozumel! Im forever thankful to Mindscape and Jarrad

I did the treatment recently since I was having a very rough time emotionally and also decided it would be a great opportunity to sympathize with patients and understand their experiences, fully trusting our medical team and their expertise. It was a very rough start, felt like I had a hundred of emotions unraveling each second, but it was truly worth it, the DMT made me reconnect with a side of me that I thought it was lost long time ago and I mean the whole treatment just made me feel like I am myself again and I am still rediscovering sides of me that I am happy they're back. Thanks to everyone in the staff that made me feel safe and did not made me feel ashamed of myself during this process, I am so proud of our team and I can promise we can give everyone a safe space to become the best version of themselves.

I came for the 12-day ibogaine treatment because of its reported success rate, and in my opinion, it exceeded my expectations. Dr. Juan José explains every step of the treatment in detail, and they always make sure a nurse is available to look after you. They perform regular ECGs and provide supplements and vitamins to make the treatment as manageable as possible. They serve nutritious meals, and their protocols are very structured (they’re not just facilitators like some other places) This experience can truly change your life, but it’s important to do it somewhere safe and trustworthy. Many thanks to the entire Mindscape Retreat team 🙌🏻

I came here struggling with addiction and feeling stuck in a cycle I couldn’t break on my own. I stayed at the facility for 15 days, and that time completely changed the direction of my life. The ibogaine treatment was intense, but it helped me step away from the cravings and really look at my patterns with clarity. Just as important as the treatment itself was the time I spent afterward in a safe, structured environment. Those days allowed my body and mind to stabilize, reflect, and begin healing. The staff was supportive and respectful throughout the process, and I never felt rushed or treated like a number. The space gave me the opportunity to disconnect from my old habits and reconnect with myself. I left feeling clear, grounded, and most importantly, free from the need to keep using. The 15 days I spent there helped me reset and move forward with my life in a healthier way. I’m deeply grateful for the experience and the support I received.

9 years of it. Started as wine that became anything available. I'd had two DUIs and lost my license. Did AA twice, inpatient rehab once, was on naltrexone for a year. All helped partially. Nothing held. My daughter sent...
Started kratom for anxiety and within 4 years I was taking 20 grams a day just to function. The online forums told me it wasn't addictive and I believed that far longer than I should have. When I tried to stop I had symp...
Alcohol was a family legacy. My father, his father. 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 MindS...
I'm 27 and started using fentanyl at 21. Cheap and available and it obliterated everything fast. Track marks on both arms when I arrived, stealing from my parents, a minor drug charge pending. The cost of coming here was...

Getting off Suboxone was harder than anything I'd been through in recovery. 8 years at high doses. The standard taper is measured in months or years and the withdrawal that comes anyway is relentless. I found MindScape t...
