Question 1

What is the environment like at the Ibogaine retreat?

Accepted Answer

Our program was created as an intimate, home-like environment, carefully held so that each person can arrive without performance and without fear. You will stay in a private room within our Posada-style home. Guests have access to shared spaces, the garden, a pool, and a solar-heated jacuzzi overlooking the mountains of Tepoztlán. We intentionally host small groups (a maximum of 7 participants) just 1 time per month to ensure highly attentive, individualized care.

Question 2

What is included in the 7-Day Retreat?

Accepted Answer

The standard retreat runs from Monday to Monday and includes:

- A flood dose ibogaine experience (lasting approximately 36 hours) with continuous medical monitoring.
- Days dedicated to rest and recovery.
- A booster ibogaine dose designed for deeper integration and prolonged neurological benefit.
- Daily therapeutic integration support, which includes individual and group therapy, meditation, breathwork, somatic practices, and more.
- Healing modalities such as Janzu water therapy, massage, art therapy, and a traditional Temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremony.

Question 3

What medical tests are required before being approved for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Because ibogaine affects the cardiovascular and nervous systems, comprehensive medical clearance is mandatory. Before final confirmation, we require the following medical tests completed within three months of your retreat:

- Blood pressure reading
- EKG (including graph)
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Basic Metabolic Panel
- General urine test
- Liver function test

If you are over 60 or have specific medical conditions, additional testing (such as a stress test) may be required.

Question 4

How much does the program cost?

Accepted Answer

At IbogaQuest, each program is carefully tailored to your intention, medical history, and required level of support. All treatments include medical screening, onsite medical supervision, prep and integration sessions, accommodations, and meals.

Spiritual / Psychospiritual Work: 6,500 USD

Mood Disorders / PTSD / TBI: 7,500 USD

Addiction Interruption: 8,500 USD – 13,500 USD (The higher range accounts for cases requiring early arrival and medically supported detox).

Question 5

Who makes up the IbogaQuest medical team, and how is patient safety ensured?

Accepted Answer

Patient safety is our highest clinical priority. While we intentionally foster a warm, intimate, and home-like environment rather than a sterile hospital setting, our clinical rigor is uncompromising. To achieve this, we establish a strict on-site medical container dedicated to your continuous care and physiological monitoring throughout your stay.

The On-Site Medical Container During medicine sessions, our facility is staffed by a comprehensive, fully equipped medical team to provide continuous supervision and rapid intervention capabilities. This dedicated onsite container includes:

Two Supervising Physicians: Dr. Juan Moller and Dr. René Quiroz.
A Dedicated Nurse: Nurse Juanita.
Certified Paramedics & On-Site Ambulance: Fully equipped for advanced emergency response.

Continuous Care & Extended Support Network

24/7 Monitoring: Our medical and support staff are present around the clock, ensuring adherence to safety protocols and providing continuous care.

Pharmacological Expertise: We collaborate closely with specialized experts, such as chemist Ian McKenna, who advises on our strict safety protocols, metabolic pathways, and clinical contraindication tools.

Therapeutic Integration: A dedicated team of psychotherapists and coaches is integrated into your care to expertly guide your psychological preparation and long-term integration.

Question 6

How does Ibogaine interrupt addiction?

Accepted Answer

Ibogaine provides a powerful neurological and psychological interruption, it is not a maintenance therapy.

It acts on multiple brain systems simultaneously, including opioid, dopamine, serotonin, and NMDA receptors.

It increases neuroplasticity factors (such as GDNF) that help repair disrupted reward pathways.

For opioid dependence, it can significantly reduce or eliminate acute withdrawal and dramatically decrease cravings within hours, creating a critical window of clarity for behavioral change.

Question 7

Can Ibogaine help with mental health conditions like depression or PTSD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ibogaine has shown promising potential in supporting individuals struggling with depression, treatment-resistant mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and certain cases of traumatic brain injury. By acting on multiple neurological systems and promoting neuroplasticity, it may help “reset” emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that feel stuck.

Question 8

Do you treat individuals looking for spiritual or psychospiritual growth?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many people come to ibogaine to deepen self-understanding during a time of transformation, transition, or rite of passage. Ibogaine can open a profound space for insight and self-reflection, helping individuals explore life direction, relationships, grief, or purpose.

Question 9

What happens after I return home?

Accepted Answer

Healing continues beyond the retreat. Ibogaine opens a powerful 2–3 month neuroplasticity window, making you highly receptive to cultivating new habits.

Your program includes 1 to 3 integration sessions after you return home to help translate insights into sustainable change.

Because conditions like PTSD and addiction involve complex nervous system dysregulation, we strongly recommend ongoing therapeutic support. We can connect you with experienced therapists and coaches familiar with ibogaine integration.

Question 10

Do you offer extended aftercare facilities?

Accepted Answer

While our physical retreat is deeply focused on your immersive treatment week, we consider integration and aftercare to be critical components of your overall healing journey. We do not operate an extended residential aftercare facility ourselves, but we are deeply committed to ensuring you have a robust support system post-treatment.

Because we understand that every individual’s path to recovery is unique, we avoid one-size-fits-all referrals. Instead, we take a highly personalized approach:

Collaborative Planning: During your onboarding and preparation process, our therapeutic team will work closely with you to understand your specific needs, home environment, and long-term goals.

Careful Recommendations: We treat every case individually. Only after getting to know you will we suggest specific therapeutic approaches, trusted integration coaches, or aligned recovery professionals.

Co-Creating Your Path: Together, we will build a tailored aftercare plan designed to support your continued stabilization and help you translate the profound insights of your ibogaine experience into lasting, everyday change.
