There's a documentary that was released on this called Of Waves in War, and it was looking at Navy SEAL vets that found this clinic, I think it was in Mexico, where they went to experience Ibogaine.
And they describe their experiences in vivid detail, and it is...
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And people have been through multiple iterations of treatment.
Again, the cautionary plug I would like to make for people who are looking at alternative clinics in this way, who've been tried maybe methadone or maybe suboxone, but have been primarily psychopharmacologically exploring pathways, is to think about therapeutic pathways that are also about self-discovery, because that is part of what will happen through that journey with Ibogaine, from what I understand.
And also I have treated many people in my treatment center.
We have a residential substance abuse treatment center because some people also will use this as a treatment for alcohol use disorder.
Again, not FDA approved, but have these pretty impactful experiences and then come out and return to relapse very quickly after leaving those environments.
So despite that being profound and catalytic and leaving them feeling better than they've ever felt,
There are behavioral strategies and integration that needs to happen on the back end to really sustain those practices.
And so I think by very virtue of the retreat model, and probably not unlike many retreat settings, right?
Where people go and have, you know, like...
Tony Robbins experience, right?
And they go and they're part of this big experience and they have this like profound impact and they have a big opening and then they walk out the doors and if they never touch anything that they did in there ever again, are they changed?
Many people, I think no matter how profound of an intensive experience you have, if you don't have the ongoing experience to integrate that meaningfully, then it's not going to sustain itself for most individuals.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, what's going to be the long-term integration of it?
And my fear is that, again, we will just over-medicalize the model, put the emphasis on the compound, and then we'll come back in for another treatment, come back in for another treatment instead of the thoughtful, like, well, what happened afterwards?
