Why You Should Book Yourself Into The Ibogaine Clinic

Millions of people suffer from drug addiction all over the world. Drug rehab facilities are used frequently and deliver results, however, many a time these results are short lived. Most rehab facilities treat drug addicted patients with conventional treatments that simply replace one addiction for another. Ibogaine, on the other hand, works differently. Ibogaine comes from the Iboga bush that is found is found in West Africa. It was always used by the village people for healing purposes. Now the ability to help people overcome their substance abuse has been discovered. It is also a more natural and safer form of drug addiction treatment.

Why Should You Try Ibogaine Treatment?

If you have been battling with drug addiction for a long time, this option is worth a try. Many people go to conventional drug rehab centers and get well, however, as time goes by the treatment becomes less and less effective, until the craving eventually takes over. This is not necessarily the case with everyone, but a large number of patients go back to their addiction. This is mainly because conventional drug treatment replaces one drug with another and that is essentially not helping at all. This form of treatment also becomes less effective as time goes by. With Ibogaine, the effectiveness of the treatment is consistent. So it doesn’t matter whether you are taking it for one month or ten months, the results will be the same. It has also been proven to work in as little as 72 hours. Ibogaine basically suppresses your craving for the substance you are addicted to. However, the advantage of Ibogaine is that it suppresses your physical and mental withdrawal symptoms. So whether you are experiencing insomnia, sweating, depression, mental pain or anxiety, Ibogaine can help with all of these side effects.

In order to get help, you must book yourself into the Ibogaine Clinic closest to you. The Blue Mountain Sole treatment center opens its doors to anyone in need of drug addiction treatment. Conventional drug treatments have side effects that could even be fatal. Ibogaine is a plant based medicine, so it is safer to use. It also does not contain any of the nasty side effects that these conventional treatments do. If you are addicted to drugs, you need to get help fast. The Blue Mountain Sole Treatment Center is available and will help you get rid of your drug addiction and live a better life.

Recovering from PTSD

Many people experience a traumatic incident in their lives, yet most people do not develop PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). Why is it that one person develops PTSD in response to a trauma, while another experiencing a very similar event does not? And how might having untreated PTSD be affecting your life?

Most people who experience trauma in their lives naturally recover. For example, lots of people are in car crashes, are impacted by an act of terror or natural disaster, or experience a sexual or physical assault and they experience little long-lasting impact. These people can get behind the wheel of a car again or go to public places or let themselves experience physical intimacy with little anxiety. This usually happens because they are naturally exposed to stimuli which has been associated with the traumatic incident (e.g., driving through a busy intersection, going to a crowded market) and they tolerate the anxiety that arises when faced with it. The stimuli reminds them of the trauma, they tolerate it and approach it, and they become used to it. Over time they no longer associate the stimuli, or “trigger,” with the traumatic event. For example, a survivor of a severe car crash might get right back behind the wheel as soon as they are physically able. Although that person might be nervous at first, if they get behind the wheel repeatedly, they will likely find themselves “getting used to the situation” or technically speaking “habituating” to the anxiety associated with the accident.

In contrast, someone else might suffer a car crash, and find it terrifying to drive again. In fact, that person might not even feel it safe to be a passenger in a car; or even safe to be around places where there is traffic congestion. Over time, they may become fearful of being on the road entirely, and may have difficulty going to work or leaving home. This type of avoidance and generalization of fear, is what fuels the development of PTSD.

People develop PTSD for many reasons and some people are more at risk than others. For example, people who develop PTSD after a trauma in adulthood, often have a history of childhood trauma (e.g., physical or sexual abuse, neglect) or other pre-existing traumatic events. Other risk factors for developing PTSD include having a predisposition to anxiety, or a tendency to rely heavily on avoidance behaviors (substance use, isolation, etc.) to cope.

PTSD has many symptoms, and the hallmark of these is avoidance. When someone suffers from PTSD, their world becomes much smaller as they avoid any reminders of the trauma including thoughts and feelings associated with the trauma, and also perhaps people, places, things, or situations that are associated with the trauma. People suffering from PTSD often find it difficult to speak about how they feel and what they are going through. The symptoms of PTSD are painful and frightening and the pull to avoid anything related to the trauma is powerful. As a result, they often avoid conversations about how they are feeling, what they are experiencing and what they are doing in their lives. In addition, other symptoms include excessive jumpiness, feeling always “on alert”, irritability, agitation and great difficulty feeling calm, or at ease.

As you would expect given these symptoms, PTSD can make relationships more challenging. People who have PTSD often start to feel more detached and uninterested and can over time begin to feel as though they can no longer relate to others, and others might not be able to relate to them.

The reality is that although avoidance alleviates anxiety in the here and now, avoidance holds long term consequences for our lives. The world becomes much smaller; and you may find yourself living your life without the joy you once had. Decision-making is no longer in service of living a full life, it instead is in service of managing fear, anxiety, and avoiding any reminders associated with the traumatic event.

So, can one recover and if so, how? And, given how scary this whole thing is, why would you even want to talk about your trauma? The reality is that PTSD is treatable and curable. PTSD however, does not just go away on it’s own; it requires treatment in order to resolve. Some of the reasons one might choose to get treated include not only the opportunity to regain autonomy over one’s life, but also to be able to feel physically and emotionally better. It can be very physically and psychologically exhausting to have PTSD and oftentimes, people with PTSD suffer from physical ailments, which are not necessarily diagnosable and treatable by a medical doctor. The brain and body are after all intimately linked.

The good news is that, with treatment, living a full life and returning to the people and experiences that once brought you joy is possible. Life does not have to be so small and limited and relationships and friendships can be rekindled. Treatment is designed to help you learn different and new coping skills in service of navigating the world by turning the volume down on avoidance as a coping strategy.

There are many evidenced based treatment options available, most notably, Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), Cognitive-Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). All of these treatments are well researched, evidenced-based treatments for PTSD and complex trauma. If you or someone you love is experiencing any of these symptoms we encourage you to consider seeking treatment and explore all of your options as it will help you regain your life and work towards healing.

Falling Into Line in an Effort to Help Your Child

In the May edition of the newsletter we started a discussion about developing alignment with your partner/caregiver to achieve more of your goals in helping your child with their substance use choices. We outlined a list of questions about how you historically have collaborated with your co-parent. What have your patterns been in working together? Has one of you tended to be more of the disciplinarian? Has one of you tended to be more distressed or worried than the other? Have you been able to support each other even when you disagreed and are there things you really appreciate about your collaboration?

Now we will discuss a few tools for coming to agreement with a an action plan for helping your child make better behavioral choices. As partners in this effort you are in unique positions to either support or undermine a behavioral plan. We recommend that you take seriously how important it is to try to be aligned in your efforts to help your child.

A great first step is to have a discussion about each of your priorities for your child. Determining the behaviors you most want to address and your goals will be the foundation for helping your child change their relationship to substances. It may seem obvious that your priorities should be for your child to; first, stop using drugs, and second, start being a caring family member again! But when you give it a little more thought, it may be that you have different priorities or you may find that your priorities change depending on other variables in your home. This can make it difficult to be specific about about what your priority is now. For example, wanting your son to stop using drugs might actually come in second to helping him be a caring family member if he has been stealing from his younger brother recently.

As you talk with your co-parent, try to be specific about your priority and the reason behind it and then step back and allow them to do the same. Doing a good job of listening to each other’s priorities can increase empathy and understanding. This is a great time to practice a non-judgemental stance (with each other)! Even if you are not initially in agreement, you will have a better sense of why each of you might be less or more upset about or focused on particular behaviors. In many situations, establishing this understanding and empathy matters more than whether or not your priorities match up. Keep in mind that while it can be really frustrating when your partner does not see things in the way you do, differences in perspective are inevitable and are not necessarily indicative of a failing of your relationship or either of you being wrong in your goals! The good news is that once you understand each other’s perspectives and have empathy for them, you can take turns in targeting different behaviors. One month you might have a plan for reinforcing all positive, caring behaviors your son has with his brother and even offering a concrete reward for a week or month of caring behaviors. Another month you might have a plan targeting the substance use in particular – with reinforcing activities that compete with the substance use and/or establishing consequences for using behaviors. When you are working well together, and are aligned in your plan of action – even if temporary – there will be time for each of your priorities to be addressed.

As you try to become more aligned with your co-parent, it can also be helpful to practice how you will respond if your child tries to split you apart. For example, there may be times when your child confronts you about whether it is really your idea to set this limit/reward this activity/etc when he knows perfectly well that a particular change is more your partner’s priority rather than yours. It can be challenging to respond in a way that is both genuine and also sticking with the alignment goal of supporting your shared plan of action. In these cases, practice ahead of time for how you want to respond. Practice what words you’ll use and role play with your partner to anticipate what your child might say. While role playing a communications can feel pretty silly at first, doing so will help you stay steady when you try to put it into play with your child. A solid response to your child trying to pull you out of alignment might sound something like, “It’s true your mother has gotten more upset about this in the past, but we are together on this right now and you may not be aware of how upset I’ve gotten about this at times too.”

Another tool for finding alignment is to do a good job in managing your own feelings. Parenting a child with substance use problems is incredibly stressful and if you are not taking that stress seriously (i.e., by having an attentive self-care plan: proper sleeping, eating, resting, exercising, etc.), tension and high emotion can leak into your other relationships and cause them harm. Taking good care of yourself and managing your feelings will put you in a better position to come together with your partner in a collaborative way.

Finally, although it is important to present a united front, there is also great value in utilizing each of your strengths. Think through times or situations where one of you might be more equipped to manage the situation effectively Perhaps your partner has been the one to set more of the limits in the past, so it might be good for your child to hear them spelled out by you this time around. Similarly, if the tension in the home is particularly high and you are worried you might cave in, or even go against your stated plan because you are so stressed, it can be a good time for you to ask your partner for help.

Remember, as co-parents you are in unique positions to offer each other support in ways that no one else can really do, since you know your child in ways that others cannot imagine. Try to reinforce each other’s efforts in this project (with attention, praise, gratitude, affection) – as helping your child is very likely your shared goal. Working together and trying your best to stay aligned is one of the best things you can do to reach that goal.

See the parental alignment discussion in the 20 minute guide for more concrete ideas about how to address this important issue:

How to Talk When You Think They’re Lying

There’s are many common myths about people who struggle with substance use disorders. One of the oldest and well known is that all substance users have profound character flaws that results in chronic lying. In fact, if you google “addicts are liars” you find a list of 408,000 articles that discuss this very topic (https://goo.gl/HwWTKf). First, it’s not true that all people who struggle with substance use are liars and second, it is common for anyone, even people who don’t use substances to lie about behaviors they are not proud of! And, when you’re really struggling with a drug or alcohol problem, behaviors you’re not proud of are pretty easy to come by.

Lying is a tool that almost everyone uses at one time or another to try and mitigate negative reactions and emotions in others. It’s a human communication strategy that is as old as time itself. When you know that telling the truth is going to cause the other person to react negatively, it can be tempting to change your story in order to keep things running smoothly and maintain the relationship. We’ve all done it, and we’ve all seen it work.

When you have a substance use problem, odds are someone in your life has negative feelings about what you are doing. They are at the very least confused, and more likely frightened or angry (most likely both!). When people you care about are upset with your behavior, it can feel like all eyes are on you and that’s a lot of pressure, especially when you are engaged in a behavior pattern that you may very well be ambivalent about! Maybe you have told them you want to change (and you actually do want to!) but keep getting faced with situations that you were unprepared for and have old habits kick in. There may be other times where they really want you to change and you just don’t have the same concerns. Regardless of the reason, if you have friends and family watching your behavior closely, there can be a very normal impulse to lie and try to convince everyone there is nothing to look at!

And when you think about the issue of lying you cannot discount the effect of stigma. When you’re really struggling with a behavior problem that is stigmatized, like abusing drugs, there is the added component of shame. The temptation to lie about behaviors you feel ashamed about can be really strong. And, once you’ve lied, it can hard to resist telling more lies in order to maintain the story you’re trying to portray. Because not lying will often put you in direct contact with shaming responses from the outside world. Hence, the cycle continues.

So, if your loved one is struggling (and struggling to tell the truth!), how are you supposed to talk to them and get them to tell you what is actually going on so that you can support them? Or help them want to change their behavior? How should you communicate with someone that you suspect is in a cycle of lying described above? How do you have a conversation when you can’t trust what the other person is saying?

You can begin by thinking through what your goal is for the conversation. What do you want to get out of it? Do you want them to just hear your thoughts and concerns? Are there specific behavior changes that you’d like to see? What are you hoping they will share with you and why? How will having that information help you? Are you hoping to open up a line of communication that will continue over time? Each one of those topics may require different ways of communicating. By figuring out where you want to end up, you can focus on managing your part of the communication, regardless of what the other person is saying. For example, if you heard that your daughter got fired from her job, and she’s saying that she was only late once but they just “have it out for her” (and you don’t believe that she’s being honest with you about her tardiness), it helps to think about what you want to achieve in this conversation. Perhaps your goal is to help her think about what she needs to do to get a new job, or to help her think through strategies for being on time regularly. Neither of those topics require her to “fess up” and be more honest, instead they circumvent the lying and steer the conversation toward topics that can help her do better moving forward. Focusing on the lie can move you away from your end goal of trying to support positive behavior change.

Sometimes however, the lie must be addressed. In these cases, it can be helpful to step back and try to understand the “function” of the lie. Try to hold the idea that the lie (“I’m not using”) is probably not meant to be hurtful, rather it is an unsuccessful attempt to maintain the relationship and avoid the discomfort of a fight or confrontation. See if you can speak to the function of the lie, (e.g., “I imagine it’s hard to be honest when you know I am upset and you are ambivalent about stopping”). It can also be helpful to tell them you will try to manage your response so that a honest conversation can actually happen (“I am going to try and stay calm while we talk so that you can maybe tell me what is going on.”). And most important, try to spell out your overall goal for the conversation (e.g., I want to understand what you are experiencing and try to be helpful if I can be”). And if you do happen to get a response that feel like an honest one, don’t forget to reinforce them for being honest (“thank you so much for sharing that with me, I really appreciate your honesty.”) For more information on validation and empathy, see this section of the 20 Minute Guide.

Besides communicating with words, you can help influence honesty by the actions you take. To do this, you want to think about ways that you can help reinforce honesty, and how to put some consequences in place for lying.

When it comes to reinforcing the behavior you want to support, in this case honesty, it can be as simple as just noticing, or giving verbal praise for any healthy behavioral choices or honesty/openness in conversations. It might not sound like much, but it goes a long way to encouraging another person to keep up that behavior. When you struggling it can feel like you are doing everything wrong, so what’s the point of changing. When someone notices that you made a change and they actually give you credit for it, it can fuel the desire to make more changes.

Putting some consequence in place for lying is a bit more tricky. You want to be clear that you don’t appreciate that they are being dishonest, all the while avoiding being too punitive (which will actually increase their desire to lie). Also, the very nature of lying is that you might not know for sure if they are engaging in a lie in that moment! The solution to this is to be clear about your expectations up front, and how you will handle situations of uncertainty or suspicion of lies.

To do this, it is helpful to start by laying out what they can do to demonstrate that they are being truthful. Is there some way that they can provide evidence to you to back up what they are saying? Or maybe you can establish a regular “check-in” so that you have more data. By establishing what constitutes “truth,” (e.g., a negative drug test, being able to stay within a budget and not need more money) you also establish what will constitute “not-truth” (e.g., a missed drug test, running out of money for suspicious reasons). This also gives you the ability to say how you will handle a “not-truth” situation. Let your loved one know up-front what will happen if that situation arises. For more information, see our section on Consequences in the 20 Minute Guide.

Dealing with dishonesty is a difficulty and trying aspect of behavior change. Taking a pinch of understanding and a dollop of action will help you to feel more in control of how you can help guide your loved one toward more honest interactions.

The Importance Of Using An Ibogaine Treatment Center

Ibogaine is revolutionizing how doctors are treating patients struggling with addiction. This natural plant-based supplement contains molecules that simulate those found in common drugs of abuse such as heroin and alcohol, allowing patients to slowly wean themselves off of their drug of choice without experiencing the physiological side effects generally associated with doing so. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, enrolling in an ibogaine treatment center may be the solution you have been looking for.

Black Mountain SOLE is a leading ibogaine treatment center in the Western world. Our doctors are thoroughly educated in ibogaine treatments, so you can count on expert care. We also pride ourselves on delivering personalized care to every patient, ensuring that we get the best possible outcome for each one of them.

Ibogaine is also cheaper than prescription drugs designed to treat addiction, an important consideration for the many addiction patients with limited budgets. If you feel that professional addiction treatment is out of your price range, Black Mountain SOLE is for you.

Here is how the process typically works. First, we interview the patient and their loved ones to determine whether they are a candidate for ibogaine treatment. If they are, we will start them on a very large dose of the supplement to simulate the drugs in their system at the peak of their use. We will gradually decrease the dose administered over a period of up to one year. At that point, most patients will have overcome the physiological aspects of their addiction. Many patients at this stage will still require counseling and support to stay clean, so we offer inpatient after-treatment services to keep them on the right track.

While it may be tempting to attempt to administer ibogaine on your own, it is important for professionals to oversee any ibogaine treatment program. The supplement can react with prescription medications or exasperate pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, so experienced doctors need to determine whether a given patient is a candidate for ibogaine therapy. It is also possible for a patient to become addicted to ibogaine, a possibility best managed by working closely with the experts at Black Mountain SOLE.

If you are ready to begin your journey toward a sober lifestyle, call us today at 1-800-351-9777 or request an appointment online at BlackMountainSole.org. Our website also offers numerous resources if you have any further questions regarding ibogaine treatment. We look forward to serving you!

The Benefits Of Iboga Treatment For Opiate Addiction

Ibogaine, or Iboga for short, is a shrub native to West Africa. The roots and leaves have long been used by West Africa’s Bwiti community for their healing rituals and initiation rituals. However, this shrub has most recently been used to help treat opiate addiction. Here are a few of the benefits to iboga treatment.

It Is a Natural Substance
One of the benefits of treating opiate addiction with ibogaine is that ibogaine is a natural substance. Often, opiate addiction is treated with medications. Unfortunately, there are many side effects to medications, especially when they are used in conjunction with withdrawal symptoms. While there are always a few side effects to using natural substances, they are often minor in comparison to prescription strength drugs. They are also not addiction forming, helping you to kick your addiction, rather than replacing your current one with a new one.

Reduces the Symptoms of Opiate Withdrawal
Another benefit of iboga treatment is that it drastically reduces the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. One of the main reasons addicts fail to get clean is because withdrawal symptoms are so strong and severe. They can leave a person in physical pain, sweaty, with a fever, shaking, with the chills or throwing up. Iboga reduces these symptoms, making it much easier for a person to get through this rough time. Once the drugs are out of the system, the patient then has an opportunity to stay clean.

Can Help With Initial Cravings
The last benefit to iboga treatment is that it can help with initial cravings. As you wean and withdrawal from a drug, you will likely crave it. These cravings can be strong. In fact, most addicts are likely to relapse within six months of getting clean because of these symptoms. Iboga has been shown to help with cravings during the first few weeks and months of treatment. This gives a patient a greater chance of staying clean than other treatments.

It is important to understand that iboga treatment alone is not a cure for addiction to opiates. However, it is a great way to help during the initial treatment stages. When used in conjunction with other treatments methods, such as psychotherapy, iboga treatment can be effective. If you would like to learn more about this treatment or are looking for a way to kick your addiction, contact https://blackmountainsole.org/today. We can help you overcome your addiction with the help of iboga.

Surviving Vacation

Vacations are meant to be a relaxing, fun, rejuvenating time with family or friends. But for those newly in recovery it can be dangerous. Without proper planning you may be setting yourself up for trouble. People are known to let loose on vacation and it can be difficult watching others drink without impunity. The thought may cross our mind that we could just have one, after all we are on vacation too. If we have not planned and are not solid in our recovery we may not play the tape all the way through and remember the truth of what happens when we put substances in our bodies- we awaken the craving and compulsion for more.

Here are some strategies that I use when traveling, especially when traveling with people who drink.

1. You go on vacation, not your recovery!
Whatever pathway of recovery you implement be sure to plan to make it a part of your vacation days. If you attend meetings, look up the schedule for the area where you will be visiting. Plug the local intergroup office number into your phone. Locate the nearest resources to where you will be staying.

2. BYOB- Bring your own beverage!
When I am with a people who are celebrating I like to join. I don’t feel like I am missing out when I get to enjoy a special drink too. Mine just doesn’t include alcohol. When I am with a group of beer drinkers I usually will enjoy a bottle of ginger beer. It has become popular and you can find it at most grocery stores. If people are drinking cocktails I prepare my own. I either prepare a virgin of whatever everyone is enjoying or make my own. Thank you google search.

3. Strength in numbers!
Invite a friend in recovery on the vacation with you. You will have each other to lean on and support. If you cannot invite someone along set up an accountability person before you go. You can contact them daily while on your vacation and touch base.

4. Take your own transportation!
Be sure you are able to leave a situation if you need to. If you have transportation use it. If you do not plan for that as well. Are Ridesharing services available in the area? Can you take a cab? If there is a part of the vacation you know there will be drinking that may make you uncomfortable arrive late and leave early. Or, simply do not attend.

5. Find ways to be of service!
There is nothing that makes me consistently feel better then getting out of myself and finding ways to be helpful. Offer to do the grocery shopping, prepare meals, or clean up after. Put yourself in charge of the evenings entertainment. This will make the host happy and help make you feel a part of.

6. Practice Self-care!
Practice self-care before, during, and after the vacation. If I am able to enter a situation already relaxed and strong I am better suited to handle any given situation. Treat yourself during the vacation. Go for long walks, runs, or try a new yoga studio.

7. Open the lines of communication!
Have a conversation with your friends. Education them and explain where you are in your recovery. Family and friends who are not in recovery may feel uncomfortable themselves about being around a non-drinker. They may be concerned about wether they should drink around you, wondering if you would feel as though they were not being supportive.

Vacations and getaways are fun and should be enjoyed. As the saying goes, if you fail to plan you plan to fail so be sure to set yourself up for success!

How To Get Ibogaine For Opiate Withdrawal

A lot of people ask if they should take ibogaine for opiate withdrawal. It does appear that ibogaine would be a complete cure for heroin and other addictions, and that ibogaine should be freely available for those who want to use it to cure their addictions. The first information about this use came down to us in about 1962, when it was treated as a doubtful solution to addiction.

Ibogaine was first discovered in the 1800’s by French and Dutch explorer to West Africa. They learned from members of the Bwiti cult that their use of the iboga plant came to them from the pygmies in the Congo.

The Bwiti use ibogaine in religious rituals, due to its hallucinogenic and introspective properties. They seem to form interpersonal insights by the use of the chemical alkaloid, ibogaine. The tree, Tabernanthe iboga, is held in such high esteem that the nation of Gabon has declared the iboga tree a national treasure.

Ibogaine is illegal in the United States and some other countries, although it holds extreme promise as a cure for the blight of addiction in that country. The addiction causes not only personal pain, but crime and violence as well. Were it not for the specter of drug use and addiction, many communities in the United States would be welcome places to live. As it is, there are some neighborhoods wherein the police are fearful of entering. The horrifying truth of this situation can be placed entirely upon two words: drug addiction. Without drug addiction and alcoholism, crime would drop by 75% over night.

Ibogaine treatment centers are legal in Canada and Mexico, and people from the United States must go to those countries to be treated with ibogaine. There are underground, illegal ibogaine clinics in the United States, but the doctors and the patients face prison terms, fines, and loss of medical license if they are discovered in a rail by the DEA.

Opiate withdrawal symptoms are extremely painful and horrifying to watch. The symptoms can be fatal, albeit very rarely. The DT’s from alcohol withdrawal can be just as alarming. What is unique about ibogaine is that these withdrawal symptoms disappear. Ibogaine mimics the action of the drug to which the addict is addicted. A person who take heroin, therefore, upon taking ibogaine, feels as if they just had some heroin, and they do not want any more of it. The same goes for alcohol, other opiates, cocaine, Methamphetamine, and even nicotine!

If a person wants to use ibogaine for opiate withdrawal, and the live in the United States, there is no other way to obtain treatment than to visit an ibogaine treatment center in Canada or another foreign country. It is a shame that the drug companies control the legislature to that degree, but that is something that is being slowly worked out in the United States. As for now, one must pack their bags and leave the country to obtain the treatment that will make their lives whole again.

There Are Ibogaine Treatment Centers In Mexico

There are a number of ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico. They are a bit more resort-like than some of the ones in Canada, but at times, they are not as closely regulated by the Mexican government as those in Canada are by the Canadian government. Ibogaine is an alkaloid substance that is extracted from the roots of the Tabernanthe iboga tree. This is a tree that grows to a maximum of 30 feet tall in the jungles and semi-tropical regions of West Africa. As far as treatment centers for ibogaine Mexico has a number of them.

The tree is considered a national treasure in the nation of Gabon, and it is used in religious ceremonies and rituals by the members of a sect known as Bwiti. Bwiti combines mystic symbolism of animals, Christianity, and other practices into one singular system of belief.

The ritualistic use of the plant’s extract, and the plant itself, were first described by Dutch and French explorers in the 1800’s. They learned about it from the members of the Bwiti religious cult, who told them that they learned about it from the pygmies in Central Africa.

It wasn’t until 1962 that the iboga plant was hailed as an addiction curative. Although it was known that the drug had caused hallucinations and was also a stimulant, it was not known until that time that it could cure addictions to heroin, other opiates, nicotine, alcohol — just about any substance to which one could be addicted.

The psychedelic and hallucinogenic qualities of the drug are an interesting study in itself. There are two stages to an ibogaine ‘trip’: visionary and introspective. The visionary phase is the ability to see objects move that should stand still, and see other things that are not there. It is called a religious and spiritual experience by some. The introspective phase can be used to treat many psychological disorders, as the patient looks inside himself, under the power of the drug, and can come to term with issues surrounding his or her interactions with others. Some medical clinics are looking into the use of ibogaine for just that purpose, although there is no data available to tell of the success or failure rates of the therapies involved.

Ibogaine is illegal in the United States. It is listed as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, meaning that there is no medical use for the drug. With a listing like that, if alcohol, tea, tobacco, coffee, or even beer were introduced today, it would not be available in the United States.

That thinking and those rules are run by lobbyists paid by the pharmaceutical giants who produce a number of drugs for the maintenance of addiction. Notice that they do not want to cure addiction, just maintain it at its level by taking the course of drugs sponsored by drug companies. Ibogaine is a real threat to profits earned by those companies, for ibogaine is cheap, and represents a complete, life long cure for the abuse of drugs.

In Canada, there are ibogaine treatment centers waiting to help those who need it. It is suggested that if one is looking to cure addiction, seek the help of professional ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico or Canada.

Ibogaine Treatment Center In Mexico

The plant, Tabernanthe iboga, grows naturally in the huge semitropical and tropical jungles of Western Africa, especially in the countries of Gabon, Cameroon, and the Congo. The Tabernanthe iboga tree is the one that is most used for extraction of ibogaine. The alkaloid substance that makes up the chemical component of the drug, ibogaine, is extracted from the roots of this 30-foot tall tree.

The Tabernanthe iboga tree from which the alkaloid is extracted is considered a national treasure by the government of Gabon. The people in West Africa use the drug freely for religious ceremonies and to help them stay awake, as it is a stimulant like amphetamine if it is used properly. It is also a mild hallucinogenic substance, and it is used recreationally by a number of people in West Africa as a way to relax and gather their inner, spiritual thoughts. Ibogaine is used as a treatment for drug addiction in many countries throughout the world.

People have been asking about the ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico, and they simply refer to it as ibogaine Mexicoc. There are ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico — a number of them, in fact. Some of them have a resort type of atmosphere and are relaxing. They have massages and other body wellness treatments as well. This helps the client to relax and to concentrate on the treatment at hand.

The ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico cater mostly to Americans, since ibogaine treatment centers in the United States are illegal. Underground ibogaine treatment centers in the United States are subject to raids by the FBI, DEA, and FDA. The physicians who are trying to help addicts are arrested and lose their license to practice medicine. They are fined thousands of dollars. The clients are treated the same: jailed and fined by the United States government for using and possessing an illegal Schedule 1 controlled substance.

While there are ibogaine treatment centers in Mexico, they do not appear to be as closely regulated by the government of Mexico, as are the ones in Canada. For a person unfamiliar with Mexico, it might be better to opt for an ibogaine treatment center in Canada. Most of the centers in Mexico, however, are operated by doctors and others from the United States who realize that this drug, though illegal in their home country, does an amazing job of helping addicts get rid of their time and money consuming habit that is destroying their lives and the lives of their family members.

Unlike Methadone and Suboxeon and Antabuse, ibogaine is not a replacement drug for the addict’s drug of addiction. It does not replace those drugs; it helps the user to be free of the drugs. In the brain, it acts as the drug of choice, and the addict no longer is in need of the drug. There are no withdrawal symptoms, and most of the clients are 100% drug-free in the space of a few days.

No wonder people call it a cure for addiction.
