5-10 Day Retreat Program 4000AUD -$7000AUD
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, Pain Management, and holistic healing retreat
Intake Process
When you first contact Ibogaine Retreat Australia, an intake specialist will quickly set up an email interview with you. In this interview, we will collect your general medical history, details about the condition you want to treat, and a list of any medications you are currently taking or have taken in the last month, along with any medical conditions you are being treated for. We will keep in touch after this initial assessment to answer any other questions you may have as your treatment date gets closer. We know this can be a stressful time for you and your loved ones, and we are here to take calls or inquiries throughout the process.
Pre-Care
Pre-care and aftercare are important parts of the ibogaine treatment process. Ibogaine Retreat Australia’s unique pre-care includes two remote sessions before your admission with our licensed therapists.

Making a Reservation
To secure your reservation at our treatment facility, please make your initial payment. After we confirm your reservation, you need to book your flight to Melbourne International Airport, or it may be easier if you are already in Melbourne. Before you arrive, we will send you instructions on how to get from the airport to the clinic. A representative from a transfer company will meet you at the airport and take you to our center.
Your stay with us usually lasts 7 days, and we will confirm your schedule before you arrive. Family and friends can visit you, but you must follow specific protocols, which we will explain during the intake process.
We have accommodation available only for patients, and you must stay with us for the entire treatment duration.
Please remember that we cannot start treatment until we have received the full payment, so we recommend transferring the complete amount soon after you arrive to avoid any delays.
If you are arranging treatment for someone else, we need to speak directly with that person before we can confirm their placement in our program.
Some medications may interfere with ibogaine treatment, so it is important for patients to stop these medications before arriving in Melbourne.
Day 1
Arrival
When you arrive at our treatment facility, you will sign consent forms for medical treatment and privacy agreements. A physician will review your medical history and current health, explain what to expect in the next few days, and answer any questions you have.
You must hand over your medications, passport, and cash for safekeeping. This is a safety measure since ibogaine can affect your ability to make decisions. Staff will check your belongings for drugs or dangerous items, but you can keep your electronic devices.
To reduce travel stress, we suggest arriving on a morning or early afternoon flight.
Day 2-3
Preparation
Your safety is our main priority. We will start with an EKG, along with blood and urine tests to check your health. An in-house cardiologist will perform an ultrasound of your heart. Our medical team will decide on your treatment and any dose adjustments needed.
During this time, our therapists and support staff will help you set your goals for after treatment. You will take part in activities like yoga, stretching, and massages to get mentally, physically, and spiritually ready for your treatment day.
Day 4
Treatment Day
Treatment starts at 9:00 A.M. You will be in a comfortable and calming treatment room. Our skilled nurses will set up your IV, connect you to a heart monitor, and give you Dramamine to help with nausea that might happen as the ibogaine takes effect. You will receive ibogaine HCl in capsule form on an empty stomach, with the dose adjusted according to your weight and other health factors.
About an hour after taking ibogaine, you may start to feel sensations like tingling, warmth, and hear sounds such as buzzing or humming. This will be followed by vivid visions. These visions can vary widely among patients; while some may bring up past trauma, many find them helpful for understanding themselves better. This phase usually lasts 3-5 hours.
After the visions fade, you will enter a processing stage. This is a time for deep reflection where you can focus on issues related to your substance or behavioral addiction. This phase can last from 12 to 36 hours. You will stay in the treatment room for 8 hours after taking ibogaine to ensure you have a restful night in your own room.
You might experience side effects like trouble sleeping and low energy in the first few days after treatment. Our professional team will be available to help you during this time.
Day 5
Integration
You will have a session with an expert therapist who will help you understand your experiences and how they relate to your goals. We will also create a follow-up plan with you because having a solid aftercare plan is important before you return home.
Ibogaine takes effect right away, but its longer-lasting benefits come from changes in the brain that happen over the 4-6 weeks after treatment. Continued therapy is important to make the most of these positive effects.
In the first few days after the ibogaine dose, it’s common to have side effects like trouble sleeping and low energy. These symptoms are temporary, though they can be uncomfortable. Our professional team is here to support you and provide help if needed during this time.
Day 6
Integrating and maintaining ibogaine dosage.
After your initial ibogaine treatment, our medical team will check your EKG and other health measures to see if you should receive a maintenance dose, also called a booster. You’ll also have more integration sessions with our therapists.
You may get a second smaller dose of ibogaine to help further enhance the brain changes started by the first dose. This smaller dose won’t cause visions, and you’ll only need to be monitored for 2 hours afterward.
We will keep working on your integration and finalize your aftercare plan.
Remember, ibogaine treatment is a process, not just a one-time event. Many patients feel a sense of improvement each day after the first dose, not just right afterwards.
This is subject to medical approval.
Day 7
Return Home
We will provide you with written discharge instructions, including how to contact our doctors and therapists if you need to reach them. We will also arrange transportation to the airport. Please book your return flights for after noon so you can get a good night’s rest before you leave.
