Making a reservation
Your stay at our facility typically will be 7 days, with schedules confirmed well ahead of your arrival. Family and friends are welcome to visit, but specific protocols must be followed, which will be detailed during the intake process.
Overnight accommodations are available exclusively for patients, and we require that patients remain with us for the entire duration of their on-site treatment.
If you decide to cancel your treatment program with at least 10 days’ notice, your deposit is refundable. However, cancellations made within 10 days of the scheduled treatment start date are non-refundable. If our medical team determines that you are not a candidate for ibogaine treatment once you are at the center, a refund will be issued for all funds paid towards your treatment. Please note that treatment cannot proceed unless the full balance has been cleared by our bank, so we advise transferring the complete amount soon after your arrival to prevent delays.
If you are making arrangements on behalf of someone else, our staff must speak directly with the individual receiving treatment before we can secure their placement in our program.
Certain medications may interfere with ibogaine treatment, so it is crucial for patients to understand the necessity of discontinuing these medications prior to arriving in Cancun.
Daily Schedule
Day 1
Arrival
Upon checking into our treatment facility, you will sign consent forms for medical treatment and privacy agreements. One of our physicians will assess your medical history and current condition, providing an overview of what to expect in the coming days and answering any questions you may have.
Patients are required to surrender their medications, passport, and cash for safekeeping. This protocol ensures your safety, as ibogaine can impair decision-making abilities. Clinic staff will check your belongings for any drugs or dangerous items. You are welcome to keep your electronic devices.
To minimize travel stress, we recommend arriving on a morning or early afternoon flight.
Day 2-3
Preparation
Your safety is our top priority. An EKG will be performed, along with blood and urine tests for a comprehensive health evaluation. Our in-house cardiologist will conduct an ultrasound of your heart. The decision to proceed with treatment and any necessary dose adjustments will be made by our expert medical team.
During these days, our therapists and support staff will help establish your intentions, expectations, and post-treatment goals. You will participate in activities such as yoga, stretching, and massages to prepare mentally, physically, and spiritually for your treatment day.
Day 4
Treatment Day
Treatment usually begins at 9:00 A.M. You will be in a comfortable, calming setting in our treatment room. Our expert nurses will start your IV, connect you to a heart monitor, and administer Dramamine to mitigate nausea that may occur around the onset of ibogaine’s effects. Ibogaine HCl will be given in capsule form on an empty stomach, with the dosage tailored to your weight and other relevant clinical factors.
Approximately one hour after taking ibogaine, you may start to feel sensations such as tingling, warmth, and auditory sensations such as buzzing or humming. This will be followed by vivid visions, which can vary greatly among patients and can be intense, yet therapeutic in many respects. While some of these visions may bring back traumatic memories, they are generally reported as very helpful in fostering self-understanding and acceptance. This phase typically lasts 3-5 hours.
Once the visions subside, you will enter a processing stage, a deeply introspective state that allows you to address issues related to your substance or behavioral addiction.
Although this phase can last from 12 to 36 hours. You will remain in the treatment room for 8 hours post-dosing, ensuring you can return to your own room for a restful night.
It is common to experience side effects such as difficulty sleeping and low energy in the first few days following the flood dose. Our professional team will be available to support you and intervene as needed through this period.
Day5
Integration
You will have an integration session with one of our expert psychotherapists who will help you derive meaningful insights from your experiences in alignment with your goals. We will also work with you to give shape to your follow-up plan as it is fundamental to have a solid, reality-based aftercare plan in place before returning home.
Ibogaine produces immediate effects, but its long-lasting benefits stem from the neuroplasticity and neuroregeneration occurring in the 4-6 weeks following administration. Continued psychological therapy is crucial to maximize these positive effects of ibogaine.
It is common to experience side effects such as difficulty sleeping and low energy in the first few days following the flood dose. Rest assured these are transient, although sometimes bothersome symptoms. Our professional team will be available to support you and intervene as needed through this period.
Day 6
Further integration and maintenance ibogaine dose *
Transcend’s medical team will assess your EKG and other parameters to determine if administering a maintenance dose (a.k.a. booster) is appropriate. You will also participate in further integration sessions with our therapists.
You may receive a second fractional dose of ibogaine with the purpose of further promoting the neuroplasticity induced by the flood dose. This dose does not induce visions and you only need to stay monitored for 2 hours after the additional ibogaine dose.
We will continue to work in integration and in finalizing your aftercare plan.
It’s crucial to remember that ibogaine treatment is a process, not a singular event. Many patients report a renewed sense of improvement each day following the flood dose and not necessarily immediately thereafter.
*subject to medical approval
Day 7
Return Home
We will provide you with written discharge instructions including how to contact our doctors and therapists in case you need to communicate with them. We will also provide transportation to the airport. We advise patients to book return flights after noon so they can get a good night’s rest before their departure.
Aftercare
Aftercare is a critical part of the ibogaine treatment process and varies for each patient. Typically, it involves maintaining regular contact with an aftercare specialist for several months post-treatment.
Transcend’s approach to aftercare is tailored to each patient’s unique journey, ensuring that we maximize positive outcomes.
