Intake Process

1
Step
Making Contact

After making contact with Transcend, a case manager at our intake will discuss your situation with you and answer whatever questions you may have, followed up by making an appointment for a longer telephone interview.

During the telephone assessment we’ll provide you a detailed explanation of what Transcend Clinic’s ibogaine treatment program can do for you — or your loved ones and family members, if you are calling on behalf of somebody else — and we’ll answer whatever questions you may have about being treated with ibogaine.

This first extended interview usually lasts about half an hour (30 minutes), but it can take considerably longer in some cases. Please plan ahead and try to schedule the appointment for a time when you’ll have at least an hour to communicate with us, so that we have the chance to cover everything, answer all the questions you might have, and get a clear picture of the overall situation.

We’ll need to get your general medical history and detailed information regarding the current drug-related issues that you are seeking treatment for, as well as a complete list of any medications you may presently be taking. You’ll also need to make payment arrangements with us before continuing to the next step.

We’ll remain in contact with you after the initial assessment, and follow up on any additional questions that may arise, as your treatment date gets closer. We’re very aware that this is a stressful time for you, and everybody involved; we will make ourselves available for additional conference calls, or to answer any questions that may arise in the process.

Step
Making a Reservation

If you are calling on behalf of someone else and making arrangements for them, before we can reserve a placement at our ibogaine detox facility, our staff will need to speak with the individual who will be receiving the actual treatment.

In many cases people are taking various medications that can interfere with ibogaine, and it’s very important that the patient understands how and why they must be discontinued prior to arrival in Cancun and treatment with ibogaine.

Our program typically lasts for one week (7 days), but a longer treatment period may be required if you are heavily dependent on various opioid drugs that have a long half-life, and are unable to make the switch to short-acting opioids (SAOs) prior to arriving.

We usually arrange for arrivals to take place on Monday through Wednesday.

Once we’ve received payment and you have a confirmed reservation at our treatment facility, you’ll need to book a flight to Cancun International Airport (CUN).

Step
Making Travel Arrangements

After we have your flight information, we’ll arrange for our driver and your case manager to meet you at the airport upon arrival in Cancun.

You need to have a valid passport to travel to Cancun.

If you do not have current ID, a company many of our clients have had positive experience with is: Easy Passports and Visas.  They can be reached at: [+1] 866.487.3279 and provide expedited services for obtaining whatever travel documents you need.

We strongly suggest that patients travel on their own. If it’s important that family members or other loved ones travel with patients, you’re more than welcome to visit our ibogaine treatment clinic upon arrival in Cancun; however, you will need to make arrangements for a rental car, or contact a limo service or taxi to take you to your hotel. We are unable to provide limo services for family members or friends of the patient.

Step
Arrival in Cancun

After arriving in Cancun you’ll need to go through customs and immigration. Please do not travel with drugs, weapons, or any other illegal contraband. If you are opioid-dependent our doctors will provide you with morphine to stabilize you upon reaching our treatment facility. You will not be dopesick. You will not be going through withdrawal.

You’ll need to fill out a customs form before exiting the plane. For fastest processing we strongly suggest writing tourism as your motivation for visiting Cancun.

The address you are staying at is: Casa del Mar Carretera Punta Sam Km 4 num 17.

After being processed through customs and immigration, you’ll exit the airport terminal, and make your way to street level. You’re going to see a large variety of taxis and tour operators. Almost all U.S. airlines will arrive through Terminal #3. Look over to your left and there will be a door with a sign saying, “Family and Friends.” Go through the door and we will be waiting for you with a sign.

Ibogaine Therapy – Pre-care & Aftercare
Experience a Rebirth of Spirit

Deciding to participate in an ibogaine treatment program is an extremely important decision, which can have a significant and lasting impact on your journey through life, and fundamentally alter and change the road you’re on, and the manner in which your future self develops and unfolds. Quite often the decision to participate in an ibogaine therapy program happens under duress, during highly suboptimal conditions wherein you, your loved ones and family, are experiencing high levels of stress.

Our founders and principles at Transcend Clinic have been working with ibogaine and drug-dependent individuals for more than twenty years. We understand you’re at an important intersection-point, emotionally, physically, and spiritually … because many of us have been there ourselves.

Medically-based ibogaine treatment, administered by board-certified physicians, in a licensed medical center, can provide an extraordinarily effective, safe, and painless detoxification from addictive drugs.

Having said that, ibogaine is a catalyst, not a “cure.” It’s not possible for any short-term, 7 to 14 day long, ibogaine treatment program, no matter how effective, to undo years — or decades — of maladaptive patterns of behavior. Patients are often self-medicating co-occuring disorders and suppressed trauma, which can present significant obstacles if left unaddressed. Ibogaine provides a window of opportunity for individuals who may have met with failure while attempting to avail themselves of more mainstream and conventional detox methodologies.

At Transcend Clinic we are committed to helping our clients maximize the potential benefits of ibogaine therapy, and obtaining the best possible outcome for your situation. We’ll work with you and your loved ones, to create a solid foundation, and help you regain control over your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Ibogaine Pre-care

In order to maximize the benefits of your ibogaine experience, it is strongly recommended that patients participate in pre-treatment.
Our ibogaine pre-care is designed to help you mentally and physically prepare for your ibogaine experience and the journey you’re about to undertake, and assist you with setting reality-based, personalized goals with regards to your post-treatment expectations and desired outcome.

The secondary focus of pre-care is helping the patient develop a realistic, short-term plan of action, following ibogaine treatment.

If you return home and do nothing, make no changes, and plan on just staying strong and holding it together … you’re setting yourself up for failure, or a very difficult journey, that could be much easier if you make reasonable plans ahead of time. “I’m going to take ibogaine, it’ll detox me and provide brand new insights into my problems, allowing me to break free from all my previous patterns of behavior and become a completely different person overnight!” …is not a reality-based plan. We’ll work with you, your family and loved ones, and any support-system you already have in place, to help you actualize your intentions and arrive at an optimal aftercare plan for your specific situation.

Ibogane Aftercare

Ibogaine treatment can help enable you to reconnect with yourself and heal inner wounds of the mind, body and spirit. While on-site, at our medical treatment center in Cancun, licensed clinical psychologists and recovery coaches will work with you to help refine a personalized relapse prevention plan to support and enhance long-term recovery, and assist you in developing coping and decision-making skills, while increasing your self-esteem.

During the Pre-care phase of our holistic, end-to-end treatment experience, we will have helped you define reality-based goals, and have a solid idea of where the next steps of your journey will take you.

By the time you leave our facility your physical drug-dependence will be eradicated, and you’ll have a solid foundation to begin a drug-free lifestyle, with a much greater perspective on how your thoughts, feelings and attitudes affect behavior. You’ll also have a physical destination, and a safe environment to continue your healing process, pre-arranged.

We’ve been treating drug-dependent individuals since the 1990s. Our extensive experience has taught us that the best way to ensure a successful outcome post-ibogaine treatment, is to remove the person from the people, places, and things associated with their drug use. For some patients, reintegrating in a non-toxic environment, far away from the situation in which they’ve established, nurtured, and maintained their drug-dependence, is critical. This has a dramatic impact on reducing external stressors and triggers, and provides people with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in treatment and learn new coping skills for staying sober upon returning to their home environment.

At Transcend Clinic we have relationships with a variety of short and long-term continuing-care facilities, that offer different approaches to post-ibogaine, inpatient and outpatient treatment. After gaining greater awareness and understanding of your specific circumstances, our addiction treatment professionals will be able to offer reality-based advice, and present you with a series of customized aftercare treatment options, which may have resonance with your unique situation and needs.

We understand that every patient is different, and has their own life situation and circumstances to deal with, and professional, legal, or personal obligations which may preclude participating in an extended aftercare program, thousands of miles away from your work and family.

Wherever your eventual destination post-ibogaine treatment happens to be, we’ll work with you, your family, and whatever support system you have in place, remotely, to provide an end-to-end treatment experience, which is customized for your needs. We’ll be there with you, for as long as you need us, on the next steps of your journey.
