Ibogaine for Cocaine Abuse
Iboga is as effective in interrupting stimulant addiction as it is with opioids. Our approach to cocaine/crack is to combat the aggressive nature of the addiction and its effects on the nervous system by a mixture of holistic treatments and iboga.
While the half-life of crack and cocaine is only a few days, the long-term effects of these stimulants on the nervous system is deep and long-lasting.
Cocaine users typically benefit from the drug by the increase of activity, this benefit is short live when the addiction takes over. The euphoria from the drug diminishes and the addiction takes over.
Some people self medicates with cocaine, as well as other drugs, in which the depression or other conditions are being treated. This is also a common scenario, which we assist with. First and foremost, the chemical dependency needs to be addressed. Detoxification from any drug can be dangerous, and even sometimes fatal.

Ibogaine treatment for Cocaine Abuse
We can help the person get a clean start. The protocol for treating cocaine detox varies from that of opiates. During the intake process we need as much information about the patients condition as possible. We attempt to create as pain free of a holistic detoxification as possible. Once the from there, external support groups can help the patient get back on track and stay that way.
The addiction is an illness, and if its reactionary to a chemical imbalance, then that will be addressed later through the process.
For some people relapse is a part of recovery, but make no mistake about it, it does not have to be. Many patients go through the treatment and never pick up again. We have seen be results when our patients are willing to change 1 thing in their lives, and that 1 thing is “Everything”.

“Being able to put together the thoughts that they’ve had, why they’ve relapsed before. I think that’s what Ibogaine really shows you. Our errors in our life. It brings out of us what’s inside of us. It’s not showing us the path to go, it’s more showing us the mistakes that we’ve made.”

“We’ve been talking about our pasts here, me and the other patients, clients, and I used to get physical responses, just even talking about drugs. I would get rapid heartbeat, get a little nauseous, feel like I had to go to the bathroom or something, and now I just don’t. It just doesn’t even appeal to me. I’ve spent too much time doing that. I don’t want to stab myself with needles anymore. Making myself bleed everyday. I forgive myself, the past is the past. But in the future, this is a beautiful vessel, it’s an amazing microcosm. I have to take care of it.”
-
“I felt like I was reborn. I felt like a new person. I felt that my way I expressed it to people was that I was born, I was reborn at my age. Totally clear head, totally brand new. Just totally…it’s insane what it does. It’s really, it’s a miracle when you do the treatment and you come out of it. You know, the first thing I think is miracle.”
Ease the Detox Process - Getting a new Start
Anecdotal evidence suggests that ibogaine, which is derived from a plant found in the African rainforest, adjusts brain chemistry to the point that a person who otherwise might experience intense withdrawal symptoms for one or two weeks does not go through withdrawal or suffer from cravings. However, scientists exploring the potential of this drug in addiction treatment do not believe ibogaine completely ends addiction; instead, it interrupts the process. (1)
How Does Ibogaine Work?
The addiction model of disease describes the condition as chronic due to long-term changes to the reward centers of the brain. When a person takes ibogaine, the drug is converted into a compound called noribogaine, which targets the areas of the brain affected by drug-seeking and addictive behaviors. Noribogaine “rewires” these areas, allowing the brain to restructure itself to a state similar to before addiction was triggered.
