7-Day Ibogaine Treatment

A structured seven-day ibogaine program in Cozumel for eligible individuals exploring support for addiction recovery, trauma, PTSD, depression, or anxiety.

# 7-Day Ibogaine Treatment in Cozumel, Mexico

Root Ibogaine's 7-Day Treatment is a structured, medically supervised program for eligible individuals exploring support for substance-use patterns, trauma, PTSD, depression, or anxiety. The seven-day format offers more time than a short wellness retreat for preparation, observation, physical rest, emotional processing, and integration planning.

This program may be considered by people who have already completed any necessary acute detoxification or whose substance-use circumstances do not require a longer stabilization period. It may also be relevant to applicants seeking a supported setting in which to examine the relationship between emotional pain, recurring behavior, and recovery. Eligibility is determined individually; a diagnosis or personal interest alone does not establish that ibogaine is appropriate.

## A broader view of addiction recovery

Substance use rarely exists in isolation. Stress, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, environment, and physical health may all influence a person's patterns. A responsible ibogaine program should therefore look beyond the substance itself and consider what support will be needed after the immediate experience.

Ibogaine has been studied and described observationally for its potential influence on withdrawal and craving, particularly in opioid-use contexts. Evidence remains limited, outcomes vary, and medical risks are significant. Root Ibogaine does not describe the experience as a cure or a replacement for continuing addiction treatment, therapy, peer support, or psychiatric care.

## Emotional health, PTSD, depression, and anxiety

Some people explore ibogaine because they feel stuck in patterns connected to trauma, depression, anxiety, or emotionally overwhelming experiences. During an ibogaine session, individuals may encounter memories, images, emotions, or personal narratives in an unusually vivid way. This can feel meaningful, difficult, or both.

The experience does not guarantee that trauma has been resolved or that a mental-health condition has been treated. The seven-day program creates additional time to prepare for the experience, recover afterward, and consider how insights might be carried into ongoing professional support.

## Who may be considered for the seven-day program

Potential candidates include adults with lower-complexity substance-use histories who have completed required detoxification, as well as eligible individuals exploring support around trauma or emotional health. Applicants must be medically stable and able to participate safely in a retreat environment.

People facing acute withdrawal, medical instability, uncontrolled psychiatric symptoms, active suicidality, or medication combinations that create significant interaction risks may require a different or higher level of care. Root Ibogaine evaluates each inquiry individually and may request coordination with existing healthcare providers.

## The seven-day treatment journey

Before travel, the process includes a confidential consultation, health-history review, medication disclosure, and any required testing. Preparation helps the guest understand the length and intensity of the experience and begin planning for recovery and integration.

After arrival in Cozumel, the schedule allows time to settle in, complete appropriate pre-treatment steps, and review the individualized plan. The ibogaine experience is followed by observation and rest. Later portions of the stay focus on reflection, recovery planning, and identifying appropriate supports for the return home.

The exact schedule may change according to clinical judgment and the guest's response. Treatment is not treated as a tourism activity or a fixed formula that must proceed regardless of new information.

## Safety, screening, and eligibility

Ibogaine is a powerful, investigational psychoactive compound and is not appropriate for everyone. It can affect cardiac electrical activity and may interact with prescription medications, nonprescription drugs, supplements, and substances. Root Ibogaine therefore begins every program with a confidential consultation followed by individualized medical and psychological screening. Applicants must provide complete and accurate information about their health history, current medications, recent substance use, and previous treatment experiences.

Depending on the program and the applicant's circumstances, screening may include medical-history review, medication review, cardiovascular evaluation, laboratory testing, and consultation with an appropriate clinician. Admission is never guaranteed. If screening indicates that participation would create an unacceptable risk, the responsible decision may be to postpone or decline treatment.

Never discontinue or reduce a prescribed medication to qualify for an ibogaine program without direction from the qualified clinician responsible for that prescription. Root Ibogaine does not represent ibogaine as a cure, and no specific medical, neurological, psychological, or recovery outcome can be promised.

## Continuing care and relapse-prevention planning

Ibogaine may interrupt familiar patterns for some individuals, but lasting recovery requires more than a single experience. Before departure, guests should consider triggers, living environment, relationships, mental-health needs, and the professional or community support available at home.

An effective continuing-care plan may include addiction counseling, psychotherapy, medical follow-up, peer recovery groups, structured routines, or a higher level of treatment. Root Ibogaine encourages guests to approach the retreat as one part of a longer process rather than a finish line.

## A private retreat setting in Cozumel, Mexico

Root Ibogaine is located in Cozumel, Mexico, a Caribbean island known for clear water, natural beauty, and a slower pace. Traveling away from familiar routines can create useful distance from everyday pressures, while the retreat environment allows guests to focus on preparation, rest, reflection, and the next steps in their care.

Our setting is intended to feel private, calm, and restorative rather than institutional. Cozumel is accessible through Cozumel International Airport or by traveling through Cancún and taking the ferry from Playa del Carmen. Guests receive practical arrival information after acceptance into a program. Travel arrangements should not be finalized until eligibility and program dates have been confirmed.

## Frequently asked questions about the seven-day program

### Is this a detox program?

The seven-day program may be considered only when any necessary acute detoxification has already been completed or the applicant's circumstances do not require a longer stabilization period. Screening determines the appropriate level of care.

### Can ibogaine cure PTSD, depression, or anxiety?

No. Ibogaine remains investigational and is not represented as a cure. Some people explore it as part of a broader process, but ongoing psychotherapy, psychiatric care, addiction treatment, or other support may still be needed.

### Why is this program longer than the wellness retreat?

The additional days provide more time for assessment, observation, rest, emotional processing, and recovery planning. They do not guarantee a stronger or more successful outcome.

### Can family members participate in planning?

Family involvement may be helpful when the applicant wants it and appropriate privacy boundaries are maintained. The consultation can clarify what information may be shared and how loved ones can support the return home.

## 7-Day Ibogaine Treatment price

The Addiction Recovery & Emotional Health program is $8,500 USD, all-inclusive. Program inclusions, required outside testing, travel expenses, payment terms, and any circumstances that could change the recommended length of stay are discussed before booking.

## Begin with a confidential consultation

Choosing an ibogaine program is a significant decision. A confidential consultation gives you an opportunity to describe what you are experiencing, ask direct questions, and learn whether this program may fit your needs. If another level of care appears more appropriate, we will not present ibogaine as the answer to every situation.
