Addiction depression refers to the interwoven relationship between substance abuse and depressive disorders. Often, individuals grappling with depression may turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication, seeking temporary relief from their symptoms. Conversely, prolonged substance abuse can lead to depressive symptoms due to chemical imbalances, lifestyle changes, or the psychosocial consequences of addiction. The coexistence of both conditions often complicates treatment and recovery, as one can exacerbate the other. Recognizing and treating both addiction and depression simultaneously is paramount for a holistic and effective recovery, emphasizing the profound interconnectedness of mental health and substance use.

Top notch. I had a rough time ad they took care of me every step of the way. They genuinely care about u and ur recovery. The chef makes food like art his meals were truly beautiful. They are on top of their shit. Veleria words can’t express seeing ur face through everything. Knowing I was taken care of. Although they wanted me to stay a little longer I had to get back to my family. I just want yall to know I’m getting stronger everyday and I’m doing ok now. Ibogaine literally rewired my brain I no longer have this dark fog around my heart and for the first time in my life I know I am guna be ok. Thanx u experience ibogaine. You guys truly gave me a new start at life.. I luv u guysThank you thank you thank you!! Anyone looking for a place to recover please hear me these people will take care of you all they way through!!

thank you for having such a place to heal people and give people hope and faith to live a better life , it's truly inspiring and it's a God sent that you had the vision to open this place. They are doing Gods work here. The staff 10 out of 10 , the food 10 out of 10 , the care was 10 out of 10 . Absolutely incredible environment. If there was 10 stars available here they would get all 10. Aeden is the amazing person who will walk you thru what to expect. Thank you

I returned from my trip to Experience Ibogaine just over a week ago. My experience has been fantastic. Upon inquiry a couple of months ago, Aeden reached out to me within a couple of days and was always available to connect with for questions leading up to the journey. From the time I arrived, everyone associated with the center was amazing. From Michael picking me up at the airport and an enjoyable drive to the facility, to Tomas the wonderful cook and the entire treatment staff, each went above and beyond to provide anything needed. All you had to do was ask. The facility is really nice and well kept. They pay attention to even the smallest details. As an example, I asked if I could do some laundry and they told me it had already been taken care of. When I got back in my room, my clothes were folded and already put away in the closet. It really is a life changing experience. The medicine is amazing and they deliver it with plenty of education and care (thank you Johnathan!). The aftercare integration sessions are fantastic and very helpful as well. Last, but not least, this is certainly a passion of love for Aeden. He doesn’t do this for the money, he does it to change lives. He was there for hours most every day in the common areas talking life and answering questions anyone had. If you need a life reset, I would 100% encourage you to look into Experience Ibogaine. I hope to return within the next year. Keep up the great work Aeden & team!

This was my first time doing this kind of treatment and I was a bit nervous going in. But from the second I got there, Aeden and his whole team made me feel totally safe and looked after. They were so warm and welcoming and I could tell they really cared and it's not just some cash grab for him.Aeden made sure I was good every step of the way, checked in on me and just made sure I was prepared for the treatment. The staff was just as caring and made me feel at ease the whole time. Just all seemed like genuinely good people.The food was way better than I expected too. The chef cooked whatever I wanted and every meal was amazing. On top of that, the meals were thoughtfully prepared to help with the recovery process. It felt like they were paying attention to every detail, even in the food. The whole place just had this positive vibe and it felt like the staff really wanted to help me on my journey, not just provide a service. I’m definitely coming back for round two. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I went here in 2021. It is now 2025 and I am almost 3 years sober. Experience Ibogaine was exactly what I needed. The nurses were amazing. The doctor was great. I’ve Never have been treated so well in a detox. They treated me like a sick person. Nothing like how it is in America.I needed an aftercare program. I wish they had one or could connect you right away. That was the Only downfall. Get one set up first!Getting off fentanyl was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I am absolutely truly grateful to Experience Ibogaine for helping me to get clean.

My Ibogaine experience was amazing from the moment I set a date!Aaden was super helpful and quick to respond to all of my messages and questions.Everyone at the facility was so kind and compassionate!I would highly recommend Experience Ibogaine to anyone struggling with addiction, PTSD, trauma, depression, or just want a re set on life.Dr. Perry is extremely thorough and they take your health very seriously.They truly care about helping people and keeping it affordable.I’m so excited to experience a life of sobriety and incorporate new habits and hobbies.Addiction is a rip off and such a waste of life!Thank you Aaden, Jonathan, and all of the staff for making this such a great experience!

So I had researched Ibogaine for a while before making the decision to come. I reached out to Aeden who immediately responded and got me the dates that I could come. There’s absolutely NO words humanly possible that I can use to describe my how I feel leaving this facility. The staff is amazing, I felt like a part of the family immediately when arriving to the moment I left. The food is absolutely delicious, and they keep plenty of extra snacks to enjoy. But my desire to use drugs has vanished while I’m aware it will continue to take footwork at home. I’ve never left somewhere and felt like success on sobriety was even possible. Always reservations to continue to use. I feel healed, I encourage ANYONE looking to go for any reason you might be considering it please do. The healing, spiritual awakening I have experienced is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I have a new outlook on humanity now and will hopefully get to return just to have the experience again. Not a bad thing I could say about the place!!

This was a truly remarkable experience. The staff was incredible - they treated everyone with compassion and dignity. Tomas makes the best food ever. Jona is so kind. Eden was fun to chat with. And the ibogaine - wow. My mind is finally fixed. I’ve been dealing with this nonsense for 43 years - and now I get to enjoy the rest of my life. THANK YOU

So I wanted to wait a couple of months to write a review because I was somewhat skeptical of the treatment but mostly because of all the severe depression and anxiety I suffered for years and every antidepressant out there I was prescribed. I was pretty much down and out and ready to throw in the towel. A huge THANK YOU to each and everyone that works there for especially Michael and Aiden who assured me the treatment would work. And the cook there is amazing! I came home and two months later I still feel great! The daily struggles and racing thoughts are easier to manage. Life itself is easier to deal with and has changed my life forever. Yes, the daily struggles will always be there but something changed after the treatment that I am now able to control my thoughts and deal with the world. Blessings!

I came down to Experience Ibogaine and i feel that I have been born again. Free of all guilt, shame, ptsd, addiction patterns, all of it. It was truly a miracle. Jonathan was incredible with the 5meO. Thomas food was divine and the nurses took great care of me. 10/10 would highly recommend!!

I came to Experience Ibogaine Treatment Center seeking help for severe PTSD, anxiety, and depression—struggles I’ve dealt with for many years. After being prescribed nearly every medication available and seeing little to no improvement, I felt like I was running out of options and losing hope.This experience was truly life-changing. The medicine played a big role, but what stood out even more was the staff. They genuinely care about each patient and go above and beyond to create a safe, supportive environment. I never felt like just another number—they took the time to truly understand and help me heal.I’m forever grateful to have found this place. If you’re feeling hopeless or like nothing else has worked, I highly recommend Experience Ibogaine. It gave me a new start in life.

In short, the biggest feeling I came away from this facility with was love. Genuine care for each individual patient, and a transformative experience thats lasted (so far) 3 weeks, and I don't believe it's going away either. I had an extensive opiate and amphetamine habit for the majority of my life. Got off opiates 6 years ago, but amphetamines still had quite a hold on my life, primarily because of the sever lack of motivation/will power that comes after brief periods of none-use, perpetuating my addiction. I got off of them about 3 weeks before attending Experience Ibogaine, and have literally felt like a new human being ever since. Like I did... Pre addiction 18 years ago good. Everyone's experience will be different, but I sincerely couldnt think of single negative thing to say about this facility and it's phenomenal staff, even if I had to. Id give them an 8 out of 5 if I could 🖐️🤟

I’m going to call on the law of attraction for my dear friend Emily. She’s not your typical alcoholic. She is a very kind and respectful woman with an addiction. There needs to be more people like her in this world. I’m writing as I watch her dying in front of me. And I feel so bad that I don’t yet have the money needed for her to get better. Like I said. I’m putting this out into the universe to do its thing.

She has a beautiful soul. She is kind. And respectful to everyone. This world needs more people like Emily. I’m practicing the law of attraction by putting this out to the universe…

When I was searching for an Ibogaine treatment center I noticed most of them were large corporations. Being a small business owner myself I found Experience Ibogaine interesting because it was a smaller operation. Once I sent in a request, I was soon contacted by Aeden the owner via email. It’s funny what a small world it is…. After a few days of email exchanges, we realized Aeden and I grew up a few towns apart from each other in Western Massachusetts. We spoke on the phone and it was very clear this was the best facility based on the knowledge, expertise and personal history of Aeden.I made arrangements, I was picked up at the airport in San Diego. From that point the owner and his staff provided the most amazing help and treatment. Far beyond any of my expectations and this is not hyperbole. I was told by my doctor if I wanted to stop taking oxycodone it would be a 10% reduction every month and it would be a 1 year “tapper down.” The therapy at this facility was beyond words. I had tried to reduce the medication on my own. Always with acute side effects and most importantly serious muscle spasms that would aggravate my neck injury. After the therapy I had only very minor withdrawal symptoms and this is after over 15 years of oxycodone from my Dr. The owner and staff are experts at this type of therapy. It was just short of magic in my case. This kind of treatment is obviously the future. It’s a shame this natural medication is not legal in the States. I’m just happy I was able to find Aeden and his team. Valeria, Jonathan, Thomas, all the Dr and nurses were experts as well as extremely helpful and friendly.I was most surprised to see people that clearly needed extra help that could not afford the cost tell me Aeden and his team went above and beyond for them without charging them for the service. The entire team’s priority is helping people, even over making and losing money. I can promise you that is something you will not find at any other treatment center. I can’t thank them enough for literally changing my life. Whatever issues you are having Aeden will be able to let you know if this therapy will help and answer any questions/provide details before you arrive.

I looked into quite a few Ibogaine treatment facilities & couldn't be more happier that I chose this one. From the time I was picked up from the airport until the day I left, I felt 100% safe in their care. Their staff were absolutely amazing, very attentive to my needs & unbelievably kind & generous.I struggled with opiate addiction for more than 16 years, I was horribly addicted to fent, one of the worst, most God-forsaken substances on the planet. And I'm clean today thanks to the incredible work of these good people. Go, you won't for a single moment regret it.

The people at Experience Ibogaine are truly incredible, kind, compassionate humans. This was my second time seeking treatment as a dear friend of mine found herself addicted to heroin and meth. Her family and I were devastated and unsure how to get her the bandwidth to realize the seriousness of her situation. Words cannot describe the benefits of this medicine. Experiencing it for a second time has given me a little more insight and I realized for me, Ibogaine is not necessarily about the night of the treatment or "trip" but the month and years that follow. My body feels reset and my desire to be present for my friends and family is back. I don't know if I believe in miracles but this treatment is incredible and can change your life, granted you change the environment which led you down that path.Thank you Aeden, Valeria, Johnathon and their entire staff.

I recently came back from Experience Ibogaine and I just want to share my experience here. I never thought anything like this was even possible before I came here. Living in America my whole life, there's treatment center all around you but they would NEVER treat this issue like this place does. I feel more comfortable than ever speaking about my problem with alcohol also which is something I've been hesitant to speak about. Michael is THE MAN. He come to pick you up and drop you off to and from the airport. We had some great conversations in the car.Enrique is absolutely amazing when it comes to the Ibogaine treatment along with the whole team who is there throughout the whole process.Tomas makes AMAZING food who is the personal chef.And Jonathan is an absolute GOD when it comes to the other treatment.I seriously cannot recommend this place more enough. If you or someone you know is going through chemical dependency, this is the place to come to and do not even look anywhere else. Buy the flight, pack your bags, grab your passport, and head to Tijuana for the best experience of your life - literally. My brain is completely rewired and I truly feel reborn. Aeden is also such a genuine human being. After I left, he's been checking up on me to see how everything is doing more times than my own friends have this whole year - that says a lot about how much he cares about you.After the treatment is over, you have two free sessions with an amazing therapist who talks about your experience being there, what to expect for the time you have been free of all the demons you released, and has just... helped me unlock things about myself I didn't have the answers for but always questioned.Seriously everyone, this place is worth it. And more importantly, you're worth it. I hope this messaged helped in any type of way and even though I may not know you whoever reads this, but I have faith in you :)

I can not thank the entire staff at IE enough, from Aeden and Valeria, to Jonathan one of the nurses and Tomas the chef who prepares all the meals so beautifully and they taste even better then they look. The staff at IE catered to my every need, I even had the pleasure of getting some delicious gelato down the street and a hoodie for myself as a souvenir and some earrings for my wife. If you’re looking for a reset and to take an insightful look at yourself this is the place to go.

Aeden and his team were absolutely incredible (again)! About 7 years ago I was a patient and now I was very blessed to share the experience with my 20 year old son who has overdosed several times in the last year. My son also had suffered a brain injury several years ago and he had never seemed to fully recover leaving him with severe cluster headaches.In and out of traditional sober living and inpatient treatments nothing seemed to work for him. At only 20 years old and almost dead from a couple different overdoses, we were desperate to get him help. I told him of my experience at Experience Ibogaine and he was willing to go! I took him down to share this incredible plant medicine with him and by the end of the treatment his smile and spark had returned and he says he’s never felt better. We are so thankful for what Ibogaine has done for us both and I will never forget the caring, compassionate and transformative experience that the staff and the medicine has provided for us. Thank you so much Experience Ibogaine!

My time with Experience Ibogaine was nothing short of life-changing. I spent 18 incredible days in a beautiful, private, and secure facility that provided a perfect sanctuary for my healing journey. Every day, I felt more grateful for this place and the incredible team that brings it to life. Aeden and Valeria have created a truly extraordinary environment where healing isn’t just a service but a genuine mission.From the start, the care and dedication of the entire staff was clear. The 24-hour nursing support was exceptional; Johnathon, Shelly, Scarlett, Enrique, and Claudia each went above and beyond, making me feel like part of a family. Dr. Casillas took a sincere interest in my health and recovery, a level of personal care that felt refreshing compared to my experiences back in the States. His compassion and commitment made all the difference.Beyond the physical care, the conversations I shared with Carla were profound and insightful, adding another dimension to my experience. Her thoughtful perspectives helped me reflect deeply on my journey and left a lasting impact on my outlook.Every detail reflected the thoughtfulness and love invested into this place. Thomas, the chef, could easily run a world-class restaurant; each meal he prepared felt like both nourishment and comfort. Carolina’s radiant smile was a constant reminder of the kindness that permeates this place, always lifting my spirits and making me feel truly at home.Beyond the people and the service, the facility itself is a haven of peace and beauty. It offers a breathtaking, priceless panoramic view that instantly brings a sense of calm and connection. It's been almost two weeks since I left this beautiful place, and I truly feel better than I ever have in my entire life, deeply grateful for this healing, transformative experience. Experience Ibogaine gave me my life back, and I will always hold this magical place close to my heart.

Experience Ibogaine has been on the cutting edge of psychedelic treatment for many years. They combine guided psychoactive natural substances with medical model for safety. They are all knowledgeable about each stage of treatment and when to implement each step. As a physician, i have been in touch with Dr Paul throughout the years and he is an empathic physician that gives you the added comfort you need during treatment. The nursing staff are second to none and they also have a therapist to guide you using CBT model that can augment your recovery. I recommend them highly and wish you the best in your experience and recovery.

This review is long overdue! I came to Experience Ibogaine on August 14th as a hopeless, miserable, chronic relapser. I was heavily dependant on alcohol, cocaine, antidepressants, benzodiazepines (and a few others to a lesser degree) to get me through a typical day, from the moment I woke up until my inevitable evening pass out. My entire lifestyle was in complete shambles. I tried conventional rehab here in Canada and the system had failed me on multiple occasions. AA meetings/community were probably what helped me stay sober the longest in the past. But I would ultimately succumb once again to substances when my crippling depression, anxiety and hopelessness managed to creep back in.The staff at Experience Ibogaine saved my life. I am now sober 61 days, which might not seem very long to many but for me this is huge!!! The care and attention the staff provides is beyond next level. They make you feel like you're apart of their family, the food Tomas cooks is delicious, the property and view is simply spectacular. I loved waking up every morning to see the stunning ocean and pacific coast line. The owners, Aiden and Valeria, are very chill and super accommodating. Valeria took me souvenir shopping and brought me some workout equipment I was able to keep in my room. She even took us to get massages at a nearby, top-notch spa! Aiden took a few of us out one day for a delicious Mexican style lunch and gelato. Special shout out to Jonathan, the paramedic and nurse who administers the 5-MeO-DMT medicine. The time and care he puts into the entire ritual leading up to taking the DMT was truly something unique and beautiful. The medicine made me feel one with my higher power, a portal to pure divinity. I believe this wrapped up the Ibogaine experience into an ideal healing journey. The Ibogaine made me confront some darkness I've suppressed over the years, but the staff makes sure you are safe and is there for you if you need anything with the press of a button :) I highly recommend visiting this amazing, spiritual healing centre if you are looking to step out of your old habits and behaviours and into a new, more powerful version of yourself!!! I will say you MUST be prepared to have a game plan before you leave... it was a difficult transition for me being back home for the first 2-3 weeks. But I held strong and reached out to friends and family for support. I started eating healthy again and now I am back to training at the gym at least 3x per week. I also started going back to AA meetings which helps to keep me accountable... In conclusion: PLEASE TRUST the incredible staff at Experience Ibogaine. Take a leap of faith, go to them. Experience the profound healing effects of the plant medicine. And create yourself a game plan before leaving the clinic. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, so please ask for help if you are struggling. Experience Ibogaine was the best thing I could've done for myself. Thank you to the owners, Pacho and all of the staff, I am forever grateful to you <3

I had no experience with psychedelics and decided to try ibogaine for severe depression. I decided on Experience Ibogaine because the owner (who i had the pleasure of meeting while there) & his staff genuinely cared and concentrated on your treatment and healing rather than adding to the price by forcing activities like yoga and horse back riding. The level of knowledge, experience and unbelievable dedication this staff shows will leave you in tears. It doesn't matter what demons you're battling when you arrive, everything from the atmosphere, food, treatment and amenities are designed to ensure you leave there healed physically and mentally. The staff wait on you hand and foot without judgement even personally driving me to visit some local shops post treatment to enjoy some shopping and a massage. These people became a second family to me in only 5 days. My ibogaine treatment was closely monitored by doctors and nurses throughout the entire experience. They give you 3 doses in a carefully measured regimen. Instead of other clinics giving one massive dose. Johnathan their DMT specialist designed a playlist that plays throughout the ibogaine trip & it made the visions flow so smoothly. Johnathan did the same for the DMT treatment meant to help purge and then balance your emotions. Johnathan personally sits with each individual privately & safely guiding you through the DMT trip. He calmly talks and assists you through the purge stage and then ensures you're comfortable and relaxed while you go through the balancing. The service the entire staff provided me was priceless and I know I will return.

I want to thank everyone at experienceibogaine for giving me the choice to choose. I could not break the insane loop of opiate dependence for 20yrs and ever since my treatment at E.I.and thru the POWER OF YESHUA/JESUS I have been free without even a craving for 5 yrs now , it’s not magic but pretty close as long as you want to be free , you can not go to E.I. And then go pop pills and think it will stop you , you have to choose not to but it allows you to make the choice freely this is why you have to continue rebuilding as if this is your last chance take it serious don’t get clean then go home a start a new drug. Get your BIBLE and start getting your soul filled back up with the opposite of what you have been filling it up with,,I can go on and on about all the good but I won’t yet after treatment you will be able to have the same love for the owner and staff that I have they are part of me for life, and you know who you are that were so good to me there at experienceibogaine , DO NOT BE AFRAID OF TREATMENT BE MORE AFRAID OF DYING NEXT TIME YOU SWALLOW THAT OXY BUT DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A LETHAL DOSE OF FENTENAL, LOVE YOU GUYS and thanks for saving my life Ps. It also took away my depression feelings

I had an incredible stay with the team at Experience Ibogaine. Dr. Paul, Aeden, Valaria, Michael and Jonathan (and the amazing kitchen staff!) really helped me refocus my life and priorities. The week or so I spent with the team felt like years of therapy on my mind and body. Their approach is very grounded and they skip the "fluff" many other therapies in this space try to incorporate. I felt supported but free to experience the medicines as I needed to, knowing I was in a safe space to let go. They really embrace the idea of Set & Setting, I always felt comfortable enough to keep my attention on the work I was there to do. I left the clinic with a fantastic energy and reference point to come back to when days get long and mental cravings start to sneak in. Thank you to the team and I wish future patients the best of luck, it's worth it to yourself to break the cycle, Experience Ibogaine can help.

I have struggled with severe depression, anxiety, ADHD, complex PTSD, and addiction for over 20 years. I had been belly crawling my way through each day to the next without joy or hope or purpose. The only reason I’m still here is because of my kids. Then, I heard about Ibogaine and how it’s helped people just like me so I started researching Ibogaine clinics and came across Aeden’s story and I knew I found a place that I could trust to help me. I just never expected to be cared for the way everyone at Experience Ibogaine cared for me. Michael picked us up and took us to the house where we were greeted by the staff (and Poncho), who are an amazing group of people. After I settled in, Valeria took my family to their hotel and stayed in contact with them the whole time, making sure they were ok and comfortable. The nurses and EMTs were always there when I needed them, encouraging me and helping me through the entire process. Every meal was healthy and delicious and the views and atmosphere were beautiful and peaceful. It felt like a home, not a treatment center. Not once did I feel bad for being myself. For me, this was my first breakthrough and they keep happening even though it’s been weeks since I left. Deciding to trust Experience Ibogaine, everyone there, and the process has changed my life forever. I’d even say saved it. It’s not easy. Nothing up to this point has been, but with the right people by your side, you can do it. For the first time in over 20 years I’m not taking any medication or using any drugs and I feel happy, really happy, and I love who I am!! My life looks nothing like it did before I went to Experience Ibogaine and I hope whoever reads this will choose them. They will change your life.

I don't have enough words to do justice to how Experience Ibogaine changed (and saved) my life. I was suffering from opioid use disorder and a deep depression. I had lost all hope until, while looking for a detox centre online, I came across Experience Ibogaine. I had never heard of Ibogaine before so I began my research immediately. I took a leap of faith and called and spoke to Michael (the intake coordinator ) who was kind and reassuring and I committed to coming for treatment.I was scared to come alone as a woman, but they took such excellent care of me. When I arrived Michael met me at San Diego airport and took me to the centre where my blood was drawn, urine taken and an IV port inserted by their excellent medical team. I was switched from my opioid of choice to morphine. The next day, it was discovered that my liver enzymes were double the normal level and the doctor put me on a liver detox medication and delayed my treatment. They did everything right, knowing that if I took treatment with an inflamed liver, it would be much more difficult on me physically.Their caring medical team took care of me when I was feeling poorly during the liver detox and made sure that I was well enough for treatment!The treatment was a long night and the next day (the grey day) was unpleasant, but it was so worth it! The following day, I was administered the 5MeO DMT by the facilitator, Jonathon. I had a full-on mystical experience. It was truly one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of my life and it gave me such clarity and peace. I felt incredible. I was immediately lifted out of a decades-long depression.I went to Mexico broken and ashamed and I left feeling whole and peaceful.It's been 2 months and I feel better than I have in 2 decades and I have no desire to use drugs. I cannot find sufficient words to express my gratitude to the team at Experience Ibogaine. Thank you to Aeden, Valeria, Dr. Paul, and the entire team at Experience Ibogaine. It's been the best thing I could have ever done for myself and it has saved my life and my soul.

Experience is safe and profesional, best money I spent in my life. Everybody is really friendly. The facility is modern and clean.They have a jacuzzi, sauna and massages to help you relax. You can even drive some golf balls in the beautiful garden. If you’re feeling hungry just ask the five star chef to cook you up something. The rest on staff is super profesional, and the Dr is around all the time to help with any medical needs. The place is beautiful and everybody’s really chill. If you’re looking to do some soul-searching, or just heal, there is no better place in the world.

This place far exceeded my expectations. The staff were so helpful, accommodating, and professional. I’ve been to rehabs and detoxes before and nothing worked for me. This is it right here. I’m stone cold sober for the first time in two decades on opiates and alcohol along with bouts with everything else under the sun and I am grateful. It wasn’t easy, it kicked my butt but as I’ve heard before-iboga won’t give you what you want, it gives you what you need. And pain is necessary for growth.After living in darkness for so long, hopeless, selfish, indifferent to the world, I feel like a new person. I’m feeling emotions again, I’m optimistic about the future, I have hope. I’m already connecting better with family and friends.It’s a shame that this treatment isn’t prevalent all over the world but thankfully there are people like this out there providing and fighting for it.The facility is beautiful and clean and the chefs make incredible nutritious food from scratch.I’m truly grateful, thank you all. Pancho too!Ps- don’t do what I did - follow the instructions about what can be in your system or you may have to wait a few days longer for the treatmentAlso, Mucana (velvet bean) supplement and L-theanine have helped me get the happy brain juices going again.Peace, Ben

This place saved my life! My first experience with Ibogaine and Aeden was back in 2014 and most recently a week ago. I could not say enough good things about this place. From the very first call to the end of my stay I was in good hands. The staff goes above and beyond in everything they do. They’re friendly and comforting all along the way. The chefs food was delicious! I was met with knowledgeable and helpful staff. The house was clean, the landscape was amazing- the flowers smelled so good! Just an overall great experience. I was given another chance and can finally say I have hope and a future! This is the jumpstart I needed. I left feeling like the staff, especially Aeden were my friends and I couldn’t be more grateful.
