About Ibogaine By David Dardashti

Ibogaine by David Dardashti is a detox, research and treatment center founded by Rabbi David Dardashti. His program has been around since 2004. This is an alternative treatment for addiction using ibogaine therapy. Please note that the administrative offices are in Miami, Florida, but the treatment center is in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, since ibogaine is currently not approved by the FDA in the U.S.

Since this isn’t an FDA-approved treatment, insurance will not cover the treatment. Clients pay out of pocket, and treatment runs around $11,500. The organization does offer some scholarships for those with financial need. The pricing is all inclusive and covers accommodations, meals, medical supervision, and post treatment support.

About Ibogaine

Ibogaine can be used to treat co-occurring conditions that frequently fuel substance misuse. It might help against depression, stress and burnout. Dardashti also uses ibogaine to promote rest and relaxation.

Premium Treatment Amenities

The facility in Mexico offers premium amenities during treatment, such as private rooms and bathrooms. Clients have access to a private pool, spa, hot tub, sauna, and a gym. There’s private beach access and nature trails for walking or you can even go spelunking.

BEWARE!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM to get your money and that’s it. They continually use a service (there are many of them) To remove all the victims voices or one star reviews. I’ve watched it happen for months. I fell for this scam, because the place looked really nice And since it was more expensive than most places I assumed that meant it was a good place. That is absolutely not true. The people- (David & Cole) that you talk to you before you come out there you’ll never see. They live in the US and are nowhere near the facility in Cancun. Every single person that you will be dealing on day 1 with when you go to Cancun does not speak English, except Mexican the “doctor” (kind of speaks English)that you will see only one time for 10 minutes on day one. I would actually not be surprised if he wasn’t even a doctor. The only other person that speaks broken English Is the manager. What they do is they hire a whole Mexican crew & I’m sure pay them very little and on day one you actually think this place might be legitimate cause they kind of put on a little bit of a show with you seeing the doctor you know and doing paperwork and giving Paperwork that says what’s gonna happen on day two and absolutely nothing they said that would happen actually happened. Day two when I’m supposed to receive the Ibogaine they gave me Valium, which, if you do any reading on Ibogaine if someone takes any type of benzodiazepine before receiving Inogaine, it blocks it it & makes it not work, so there’s no therapeutic value to it. The two supplement looking pills they gave me that was supposed to be Ibogain was garbage. The nurse that’s supposed to sit there with you watch your heart monitor, etc. was there for a minute and left. The whole point of going to an expensive place was to make sure that you’re safe and your heart is monitored, and you receive the magnesium in the right fluids during the process. I received no IV. No fluids my heart was not monitored at all, not that they had any reason to monitor it Since I didn’t receive Inogaine,

I had the opportunity to attend the ibogaine clinic in Playacar to treat my alcoholism, and it was truly one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The facilities are safe, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The rooms are comfortable, and the meals are always fresh and well-prepared. The guided walks to the beach, sound bowl therapy, and healing sessions perfectly complemented the treatment. The staff is professional, caring, and made me feel supported and safe throughout the entire process. I leave with clarity, peace, and a renewed chance to live fully. Highly recommended for anyone seeking real healing in a beautiful and supportive environment.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Clients typically choose inpatient rehab when they are in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that puts them at an increased risk of relapse. They reside at the treatment center for the length of their program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Intensive psychotherapy is often the primary treatment modality, but clients in inpatient care may also receive holistic treatment and recovery-focused life skills training.

Treatments

When a person has alcohol use disorder (AUD), also referred to as alcoholism or alcohol addiction, they experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking. This physical dependence results from overuse of alcohol, which may be used as a coping mechanism or escape. Individuals who have AUD can overcome the alcohol addiction through alcohol rehab in Florida. This treatment process involves essential therapy and supports to help the individual achieve and maintain recovery.

Opioid Addiction

In Florida, substance abuse treatment focuses on treating mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to improve recovery outcomes and overall health. Levels of care include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Clinicians utilize evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or medication-assisted treatment, group therapy, and skills training activities. This comprehensive approach to treatment helps to ensure sustained recovery.

When you have a mental health disorder and an addiction, it's known as a co-occurring disorder. Since treating both conditions at the same time is critical, you'll want to seek out a dual diagnosis treatment center. These specialized rehabs offer the care needed to overcome both disorders, which drastically increases your chances of success in long-term recovery. Types of therapies provided tend to include individual and group counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Clinical Services

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

Trauma therapy helps you work through the psychological impact that traumatic events have had on your life. Your therapist helps you identify the physical, emotional, and mental triggers and develop coping mechanisms. This helps rebuild a sense of safety and trust in yourself and others.
