FAQs

What is Ibogaine treatment?

Ibogaine is a natural substance that can help treat various physical and mental conditions. It focuses on the emotional aspects of substance abuse and allows patients to reflect on themselves, which aids in healing both mentally and physically. It can also help reset the body and reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

What should I bring for my stay at your facility?

Our facility provides everything you need! We offer food and toiletries for our patients. If you have specific toiletries you prefer, feel free to bring them. Let us know about any dietary restrictions ahead of time. We suggest bringing a swimsuit, flip-flops, and sunglasses to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. If you’re visiting in winter, pack warmer clothes for nighttime. It is very important not to bring drugs across the Mexican border or into our facility, as it puts everyone at risk.
