Just completed treatment at MindScape Retreat — my full experience

I want to give a detailed account of my recent treatment because when I was researching, I wanted more specifics and couldn't always find them. This is my honest account — no paid relationship, just a patient. **Background:** 5 years of opioid use, prescription-to-street transition, failed Suboxone twice. Found this forum in early 2025. **Why MindScape (Cozumel, Mexico):** After 6 months of research and reading posts in this forum's provider reviews section, I narrowed to two clinics. MindScape Retreat stood out because of their cardiac monitoring protocol — 24/7 telemetry, a cardiologist on call, and a 2-day intake process including echo for higher-risk patients. Full info at [mindscaperetreat.com](https://mindscaperetreat.com/ibogaine-treatment-clinic). **The intake process:** 2 days of bloodwork, EKG, full medical history, and medication review. They found a minor EKG anomaly they wanted to confirm with echo before proceeding. Some clinics would have ignored it. They didn't. **The treatment (day 3):** Flood dose administered in the morning. Full medical team present for 24 hours. The experience itself: 32 hours. Visionary phases, introspective phases, a period of profound clarity I don't have language for. The medical monitoring meant I felt genuinely safe even when the experience was at its most intense. **Days 4-7:** Rest, integration sessions with their therapist, nutrition program, beach walks. The post-treatment integration support was built into the program — not an add-on. **Now, 3 weeks home:** I'm in the afterglow period. Following the advice in this forum about not making major decisions. Weekly therapy starts next week. I feel different in a way I'm cautious about describing too grandly — but real. The cost was higher than budget options, but the medical rigor was not comparable. For anyone with cardiac risk factors or complex medication history, I'd prioritize that level of oversight. Ask me anything.
