Family 7-Day Ibogaine Treatment

# Couples 7-Day Ibogaine Treatment in Cozumel

The Root Ibogaine Couples Extended Treatment is a seven-day program for partners who want to explore meaningful individual change while sharing the broader retreat journey. It may be considered by eligible couples navigating addiction recovery, PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, or relationship strain.

Participating as a couple does not mean receiving one shared treatment plan. Each partner completes an independent consultation, screening process, and eligibility decision. Each receives an individualized protocol and separate monitoring based on personal health, medications, history, and goals.

## Individual work within a shared experience

Relationships can be an important source of strength, but they can also hold patterns that deserve careful attention. One partner may be focused on recovery while the other is exploring trauma, emotional health, or personal growth. Their histories, risks, and experiences will not be identical.

The program creates space for each person to engage with their own process without carrying responsibility for managing the other partner's experience. Couples-focused integration can then help them discuss what emerged, recognize differences, and consider how to support change after returning home.

## Who the couples program may serve

The seven-day couples program may be considered by partners who both qualify independently and can participate safely in the same retreat period. Areas of focus may include shared recovery goals, trauma that affects the relationship, recurring conflict, disconnection, major transitions, or a desire to develop healthier patterns together.

The program is not a substitute for emergency psychiatric care, domestic-violence services, acute detoxification, or relationship therapy when one or both partners cannot participate safely. Root Ibogaine may recommend separate dates, a different program, or another level of care based on screening.

## Independent eligibility and medical planning

One partner's acceptance does not guarantee acceptance for the other. Cardiovascular health, medications, psychiatric history, substance use, and other risks must be evaluated separately. The appropriate plan and timing for one participant may differ from the plan for the other.

Partners should not conceal information in an effort to remain eligible together. Accurate disclosure protects both guests and allows the team to determine whether simultaneous participation is responsible.

## Preparing as a couple

Preparation includes individual questions as well as shared expectations. Couples are encouraged to discuss why each person is attending, what support feels helpful, what boundaries should be respected, and how they will respond if their experiences are very different.

Neither partner should expect the other to return with a predetermined insight, apology, decision, or personality change. Ibogaine cannot guarantee relationship repair. The healthiest preparation leaves room for two distinct experiences and recognizes that integration will continue after the retreat.

## The seven-day retreat journey

After confidential consultation and screening, eligible couples receive guidance for travel and preparation. Arrival in Cozumel includes time to settle into the setting and review the individualized plans. Each partner's ibogaine experience is managed according to separate clinical considerations rather than convenience or symmetry.

The extended schedule creates time for observation, rest, individual reflection, and couples-focused integration. Depending on how each person feels, some activities or conversations may occur separately. The objective is not to force immediate agreement but to support thoughtful communication and responsible next steps.

## 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.

## Couples integration after ibogaine

Integration can help partners distinguish personal insight from assumptions about the relationship. It may involve discussing new boundaries, changes to routines, recovery support, communication, therapy, or decisions that require more time.

Couples are encouraged to arrange appropriate support at home. This may include couples counseling, individual therapy, addiction treatment, psychiatric care, or peer support. A retreat can create a meaningful opening, but maintaining change requires attention within everyday life.

## Privacy and confidentiality

Each participant's medical information and private disclosures are handled separately. Being part of a couple does not automatically give one partner access to the other's confidential information. Shared conversations occur within agreed boundaries and should support honesty without removing individual privacy.

## 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 couples retreat

### Must both partners receive ibogaine?

The program is designed around two independently screened participants. If only one partner is eligible or wants treatment, the team can discuss whether another program or companion arrangement is more appropriate.

### Will our experiences happen at the same time?

Timing is based on individual medical and operational considerations, not on creating identical experiences. The final schedule is explained after both partners have completed screening.

### Is couples therapy included?

The program includes couples-focused integration as described in the confirmed package. It should not be assumed to replace ongoing therapy with a licensed couples counselor after returning home.

### What if one partner is not approved?

Safety decisions are made separately. The couple may choose to consider different dates, another program, or not proceed. No participant should feel pressured to qualify because the other partner has been accepted.

## Couples program pricing

Pricing is calculated per couple and is confirmed during the consultation process. The final quote reflects the approved length of stay, program structure, accommodations, and each partner's individual needs. Root Ibogaine explains inclusions, travel responsibilities, payment terms, and cancellation conditions 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.
