Why Assisted Therapy is Important

Information

Working with an experienced guide, therapist or coach is of fundamental importance when considering undergoing Iboga or Ibogaine treatment.
Iboga is a medicine that people come to when they desire deep change in their lives and sense of self. It is a serious undertaking and is costly.
Yes it may be cheaper to choose a less professional provider who may be willing to work with you without adequate preparation or considerations for integration, however, this may also indicate that they are willing to cut corners in a way that doesn’t serve you.
If you are going to invest considerable resources in your treatment, then you will want the best chance of making the changes that you want to see. It can be tempting to imagine Iboga as a magic bullet that will resolve and remove your problems. The reality is that Iboga is a very powerful medicine that can accelerate your healing, but it must be administered properly.
The first concern is working with a provider who insists on taking all of the necessary precautions, safeguarding your health and who is equipped and able to take good care of your physical needs during treatment. Iboga carries inherent risks and so you should feel in the safest hands.
The second concern is that some providers may have a sausage factory approach to patients, offering them physical safety, but not mentioning or only superficially addressing the importance of proper preparation and post treatment integration. These providers and facilities are often motivated primarily by concern for money and it may serve them more than it serves you, to cut corners with psychological support.
It is not uncommon for individuals to undergo treatment for substance addiction and for the treatment to fail, with them returning to using, because they were neither adequately prepared for the experience and not supported through the unfolding journey post treatment.
Pretreatment preparation sessions build a safe container and start a process of insight and a skilled pretreatment therapist or coach, will be able to help you ascertain when you are ripe for treatment.
With adequate support, arising difficulties, setbacks, or hiccups in integration can be addressed in the trusting container of the therapeutic relationship and may become a valuable part of a journey of insight and recovery.
The truth of the matter is that undergoing one flood dose with great care and support, will certainly be more powerful, than treatment where you travel, get dosed and return back to the same place, with all your challenges and difficulties waiting for you.
