17 years. I won't catalog everything I lost because that's not useful but the list is long. Three failed rehabs, two Suboxone stints, one methadone program. Nothing held. My daughter was 12 when she wrote me a letter say...
I was using fentanyl daily for three years. Every conventional treatment failed because the withdrawals were unbearable. At MindScape they tapered me carefully before the ibogaine treatment and the transition was managea...
Chronic back pain from a car accident had me on opioids for six years. I wanted off the pills but was terrified of the pain returning. MindScape addressed both issues simultaneously. The ibogaine treated the opioid depen...
My addiction involved heroin, meth, and benzodiazepines at various points, often simultaneously. 14 years of that. Polydrug dependence makes most treatment programs difficult because they're designed for single substance...
Came for opioid addiction, hydrocodone specifically. 5 year habit that started after dental surgery. The treatment itself was excellent and the medical team clearly knew what they were doing. My issue is more logistical...
I carried childhood trauma for decades. Therapy helped me understand it intellectually but I couldn't feel the healing. The ibogaine journey at MindScape took me straight to the root. I cried for hours and the nurses jus...
Cocaine controlled my weekends for seven years and was starting to bleed into my work week. I was a high-functioning user which made it easy to deny the problem. MindScape helped me see what I was really dealing with. Th...
In Japan there is enormous social pressure to drink and very little understanding of alcoholism as a disease. I was drinking daily for over a decade before my family intervened. MindScape was recommended by a friend who...
I participated in the 5-MeO-DMT wellness program. No substance abuse history. I was going through a period of existential questioning after losing both parents within a year and conventional grief counseling wasn't reach...
A mountain biking accident three years ago left me with a traumatic brain injury. Cognitive fog, personality changes, depression, chronic headaches. My neurologist had basically told me this was my new normal. After read...
Panic attacks starting after a trauma in my late twenties. Done years of CBT, tried four medications, daily mindfulness practice, all of it. Functional but exhausted. A friend mentioned MindScape and I researched ibogain...
I came to MindScape not for addiction or mental health issues but for personal development. The screening process was thorough and they were transparent that their protocols are primarily designed for medical conditions....
As someone from the Middle East I had significant cultural reservations about psychedelic therapy. MindScape treated my concerns with respect and never pressured me. The medical briefing was comprehensive and I felt full...
I'm a veteran 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,...
Chronic pain from a workplace injury. 6 years on opioids that stopped working for the pain but I couldnt stop taking them without getting sick. Classic dependency trap. MindScape addressed both dimensions. The cardiac sc...
Opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, alcohol. I was using everything to manage everything. Traditional rehab centers didn't know what to prioritize and I'd always relapse on at least one substance. MindScape developed a co...
I'm 54 and I've been drinking since my early 30s. Wine at first, then vodka. I was the kind of alcoholic that nobody suspects because I held everything together on the outside. Inside I was dying. Three rehab stays, coun...
11 years on oxy. Lost a job I loved, almost lost my marriage, stopped recognizing myself. Tried everything short of ibogaine. My wife sent me the MindScape link after my second ER visit. Dr. Reyes was straight with me ab...
My PTSD came from losing my brother to suicide when I was 22. 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...
11 years on Effexor XR. When I tried to taper, the brain zaps and dizziness were so bad I couldn't work. My psychiatrist kept saying it was my depression returning but I knew it wasn't. I found research on SSRI discontin...
I was a senior executive drinking two bottles of wine every night to manage stress. When I finally admitted the problem, conventional rehab felt like prison and the 12-step approach didn't resonate with my analytical min...
Multiple substances. Heroin, cocaine, benzos, alcohol. I didn't have one drug of choice I had all of them depending on the day. 12 years of active addiction, 6 rehab stays that never stuck longer than a few months. I cam...
Generalized anxiety disorder since I was a teenager. Klonopin for 8 years which my psychiatrist finally acknowledged was creating its own dependency. I was trapped between the anxiety and the benzo dependence. MindScape...
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...
