Ibogaine

Ibogaine occurs naturally in the root bark of plant of the Apocynaceae family such as Tabernanthe iboga, Voacanga Africana and Tabernaemontana undulata. Researchers have studied ibogaine and it derivatives for centuries, however it comes originally from the African tribe named the Bwiti, where it has been used for thousands of years for spiritual growth as a “Rite Of Passage” from adolescence to adulthood among their members. The ibogaine treatment provokes in some cases the experience of peaceful visual phenomena during a dreamlike state, which could be accompanied by the instructive replay of life events giving you occasion to reflect on the sources of your addiction, while in others cases the experience of therapeutic shamanic visions that help conquer the fears and negative emotions that might drive your addiction or repetitive behaviors.

The experience of Ibogaine treatment is broken down in two phases, the visionary phase and the introspection phase.

The Visionary Phase of Ibogaine treatment has been described as oneirogenic, referring to the dreamlike nature of its psychedelic effects, and lasts for 6 to 12 hours.

The second phase of the ibogaine treatment, the Introspection Phase, is responsible for the psychotherapeutic effects. It can allow people to conquer their fears and negative emotions. Ibogaine catalyzes an altered state of consciousness reminiscent of dreaming while fully conscious and aware so that memories, life experiences, and issues of trauma can be processed and released.

Ibogaine works as an interrupter of drug craving, chemical and physical dependency, withdrawal signs and symptoms, and most important the sustainability of such effects by resolution of the withdrawal without further drug seeking behavior. However, it is of importance to know that ibogaine is not a “Magic Bullet Or A Cure”, when employed correctly it becomes a powerful and possibly definitive interrupter of the addicted state and old repetitive neurological patterns of your brain, creating new pathways to react to the emotions of events of our everyday life. The new forms of thought after an ibogaine treatment are for example instead of reacting from anger, depression, disappointment into wanting to “Use” or reacting negatively as usual, you learn to stop, think and reason for a positive solution. This is easily explained because it is nothing else then your chemical levels being in the correct balance for your brains best functionality.

The Way we employ the Ibogaine:

We have come to respect the healing properties of the powerful plant medicine Ibogaine and can firmly state that Ibogaine has the ability to create this impact in our life on its own, we merely prepare you for it, however as powerful as it is, if not employed correctly and administered by experienced and qualified personnel; you could have adverse reaction to it and in the worse of cases may result in heart failure. Our protocol on the other hand assures a safe and long lasting outcome of the use of Ibogaine treatment, through a uniquely designed preparation protocol, an extensive medical check and follow-up during stay:

Bloodwork (CBC, Kidney and Liver Panel, Electrolytes, Blood Type, HIV, Hep. B and C and Clotting times)

Urine Drug Test (done periodically)

Cardiologist Specialist Exam (ECG, Stress Test and Echocardiogram and in cases needed, Holter study)

Licensed Medical Attending Onsite (full medical history, physical exam upon admission and progress follow up)

24 hour Licensed-Certified Nursing Care (Vital Signs Surveillance, IV catheter installation, Meds administration, Hand to hand accompanied therapies, and ADL)


It is of our knowledge that in order to take the Ibogaine treatment safely, it is of extreme importance to first go through a deep cleanse and detoxification from the chemical products in our daily foods and environment as well as the complete removal of medical products that may adversely react with ibogaine. This is accomplished through the activities that you perform in your daily schedule and with a healthy but tasty Organic GMO free diet. Immediate unnecessary weight loss and physical skin improvement is seen within the first 6 days and withdrawal becomes something of the past. Your preparation is changed during stay as you become closer to treatment date, and certain restrictions are explained for right before the full ibogaine treatment. In most ibogaine clinics around the world, the recovery rate from an ibogaine treatment is of 3 to 5 days without sleep, nausea, diarrhea, residual withdrawal and the feeling of being completely depleted of energy, to the point where you can’t even get out of bed. In our ibogaine treatment we are glad to admit that recovery rate is of even sleeping that same night after the ibogaine treatment for at least a period of 4-5 hours, and feeling amazing in a period no longer than 24 to 48 hours and fully sleeping the next night. We strive in making our protocol the safest way in the use of the powerful Ibogaine, so that you may go home and presume the amazing effects of receiving the Ibogaine treatment with us.

During your stay at Rite Of Passage Mexico, you will undergo 1 and a 1/2 Ibogaine floods (UNIQUE TO RITE OF PASSAGE MEXICO). On your 3rd day you do what we call the 1/2 flood or a smaller amount of the Ibogaine to help with withdrawal symptoms without the use of narcotics. It is a very strong psychedelic, but with the half flood we are not expecting any important experience yet, we are basically helping the brain chemically. On the 9th or 10th day is when you do your "full flood" of the Ibogaine treatment, which is the one you are preparing for in the first 8 to 9 days. This is the treatment in which we expect you to get the awakening experience from, where your brain is reset to a pre-addicted state and you are finally able to create new neurological pathways to create change in your life.
