Methadone & Suboxone

24mg of Suboxone daily for 11 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...

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...

Kratom

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...

Combined protocol exceeded what I hoped for

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...

Methadone & Suboxone
Finally free of maintenance medication

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...

Got into fentanyl through fentanyl patches that got out of hand. 6 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, bone p...
