POI sent me home a brand new husband, well not really brand new, but one who is in such a better place mentally. After years of struggling with PTSD/TBI he finally took the trip to get treatment. He’s only been home a few days, but I’m no longer walking on eggshells. I was worried the few days I didn’t talk to him but when I did talk to him after treatment his voice was already different. He’s been smiling and laughing since he’s been home. Thank you is not enough to day to Diane, George, Chuy, and Tim for helping to heal my husband.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this from the perspective of a loving and devoted wife. Reviews like yours remind us exactly why we do this work every single day.

We are so happy to hear that you are no longer walking on eggshells. We know how incredibly hard it is to love someone who is struggling with PTSD and TBI, and we hear this from so many spouses and families.

The fact that you could already hear the difference in his voice after treatment... that is one of those moments that never gets old for our team. It is the reason Diane, George, Chuy, and Shaman Tim pour everything they have into every single patient who walks through our doors.

Mike showed incredible courage in taking this step, and as we share with so many spouses... you played such an important role in supporting him and getting him there. It is a team effort.

Please tell Mike that we are so proud of and happy for him. Once part of the POI family, always part of the POI family. We are here for both of you whenever you need us.

With love and gratitude — Diane, George, Chuy, Shaman Tim, and the entire POI Institute team.

After multiple decades of drinking daily to excess, knowing that the path I was on was not where I should be as the drinking had taken over my life. It had become another job and a priority over most everything. After a JRE podcast and by chance, hearing of an acquaintance that had recently been treated by POI and who stated it is a complete "game changer "... With a little help i got in contact with Diane and George and got things moving... I had a great experience from the first day to the last. Detox was completely comfortable, the treatment went great, I have no desire to drink, I am in a better place mentally and spiritually. The weight has been lifted and I am feeling good and most importantly I'm in control. Diane and George and their caring staff are like dealing with family. I especially appreciated the one on one and not having the treatment administered in a group setting. I would and will recommend POI to anyone who wants/ needs their life back.

Thanks so much Chris for taking the time to share your story so openly and honestly.

Decades of daily drinking is an enormous weight to carry, and the courage it took to finally say enough and take that step is something to be incredibly proud of. We are so glad that a chance conversation and a podcast brought you to our door. It is funny how life works sometimes, and we truly believe everything happens exactly as it should.

Hearing that you have no desire to drink, that you feel good, and that you feel in control is wonderful. That is exactly what we work toward every single day for every single patient who walks through our doors.

Thank you for your kind words about our one-on-one approach. We have always believed that this kind of deeply personal and transformative work should never happen in a group setting. Every patient deserves their own private space, their own private journey, their own personalized private care. We will never compromise on that.

Thank you for saying you will recommend POI to anyone who wants their life back. You never know whose life those words will touch or how much courage they might give someone who is still searching for their own path forward.

Always remember... once part of the POI family, always part of the POI family. We are here for you whenever you need us. Wishing you continued freedom, clarity, as you step into this new chapter forward.

With gratitude and love,
Diane, George, and the entire POI Institute team.

I was very uncertain if ibogaine would help with my goals but upon being home I have experienced a great amount of peace, focus, clarity and ability to tackle work and family priorities! It’s been life changing and I strongly encourage people to take this opportunity to channel energy in a healthy direction.
Response from the owner1 week ago
Thanks so much, Whitney, for sharing your experience with us! It’s so amazing, but not surprising (that’s ibogaine 😊), to hear that since returning home, you’ve experienced a greater sense of peace, focus, and clarity, and that you’re able to channel that energy into the things that matter most to you—your work and your family.

We’re incredibly grateful that you trusted us with such an important part of your journey.

Thank you for encouraging others who may be looking for a healthier direction. You never know who your words might reach or how your experience could help someone else who is searching for a way forward. You are now part the POI family. We are always here for you if you need us.

With gratitude,
The entire POI team

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan.

The best experience I’ve ever had. Absolutely fantastic. I never thought it would be possible to be sober. Meth had a grip on me that I thought I could never let go of. I believed the only way out was suicide and was very close to it. George and Dianne and the poi inst ... Read More

This is a detailed review, so anyone interested in the cliff notes, if you are considering Ibogaine, do it now. Don't go anywhere but POI. As an Interventionist and recovery coach with an abundance of treatment knowledge, I researched for over a year and their experience, wisdom, dedicated care and comfort, is next level. I honestly felt like they should be charging way more for what I got over 6 days. All Ibogaine centers are not created equal. I received exceptional 1:1 support, completely natural Ibogaine, dosed by a knowledgeable, experienced person (owner Diane) ensuring the BEST opportunity to heal, in a place that feels like home. I have ten years of sobriety, have done the 12 steps, EMDR, years of talk therapy, inner child workshops, yoga and recovery retreats, hypnosis, meditation, and still carried a level of shame and frustration because nothing brought me relief from Complex PTSD. In Spring of 2026 I called one of the places featured in a documentary and was put on a month long waitlist, then stood up for the call, and waited another two weeks for their reschedule. I was clearly connected with a salesperson. I expressed my concern about being dosed on a mattress next to 10 other people considering my trauma history. She responded with the snarkiest attitude “I don’t even know what to say, it’s never been an issue for anyone else.” She told me they were booking a year out. I got off the phone completely defeated. I took a few minutes then Googled “top 5 Ibogaine programs” and up came The POI Institute. I completed the online form. About 30 minutes later I received a call from the owner, Diane. They were able to get me in about 3 months later. On the day I arrived George and Diane were in communication with me and George was waiting at the airport. It didn’t take long after arriving to realize I was getting FAR more than I paid for. I didn’t feel like I was there for treatment, I felt like I was visiting with family, but the kind you want to be around. I was also greeted by the Chief Cuteness Officer, the sweetest rescue dog ever, “Poppy”. Once another patient arrived, we went for a walk with Diane that evening and turned in prepared for the morning. I had instant trust in Diane’s knowledge and dosing of Ibogaine and well as the quality of the plant she was sourcing, nothing synthetic here. The next morning two of us were dosed both in our private rooms, with headphones. I felt SO safe to completely let go and allow the medicine to do its work. Everything was customized to me. The actual journey was indescribable. The next morning, I awoke on my gray day to a quiet house where I was able to go outside, lay down, and journal, just rest. Along with being an amazing nurse, Chewy cooked delectable breakfasts with the freshest local ingredients. Watching others at POI there for addiction, Ibogaine has completely turned my idea of addiction recovery on its head. The next day Diane and George would bring us to the pool, gym and out to dinner, not necessary but they all added to a more than 5 star experience. I noticed myself giggling and smiling a lot, like I hadn’t done in years. The day before I left I was brought down to the beach to meet with Tim the Shaman for the 5meo-DMT. While that experience was also unbelievable, I felt that the Ibogaine did the heavy lifting. The other thing I noticed when I was there is the abundance of previous clients who were still in touch or sending Diane and George wedding pictures, baby pictures, and other life milestones they were able to experience thanks to the love and care of the Power of I team. No one is a number to them, everyone is a family member. The night before leaving I started to get teary thinking to myself, I did NOT see this coming, feeling so sad like I had to leave my new family behind to travel home. The POI Institute is something extremely special, something I would have paid them even more for. Don’t waste another minute! Book at The Power of I Institute, you will thank yourself later!

Response from the owner
Thank you so much, Danielle, for taking the time to leave such a kind and heartfelt review. Your words truly mean the world to us.

We are so grateful that you chose The POI Institute. It was an absolute honor to be part of your healing journey. Creating a safe, personalized environment where every client feels seen, supported, and genuinely cared for is exactly why we intentionally keep our program small. Knowing that you experienced that level of individualized care is the greatest compliment we could receive.

Thank you for recognizing the dedication of our entire team, including George, Chuy, Tim, and of course, our Chief Cuteness Officer (CCO), Poppi 🩷. We are deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us and inspired by the openness, courage, and commitment you have shown throughout your healing and sobriety journey.

It means so much to us that you recognized and appreciated the warm, family atmosphere we work so hard to create. Reading that you felt like you were "leaving your new family behind" when it was time to go home truly touched our hearts. The good news is—you didn't leave your POI family behind. You're now part of the POI family, and we're always just a phone call away.

Thank you again for sharing your experience so openly. Your story will bring hope to others who may be searching for healing, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

With love & gratitude,

Diane & George & the entire POI team.
