Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center

Every day is another chance to start fresh. This is something I have learned through my experience with Ibogaine. When you’re in the depths of depression, drug use seems the only easy way to make it stop, though it is merely a temporary fix. It’s a vicious circle of mental and physical pain that engulfs your entire life. This is my third Ibogaine treatment. I now reflect on where I went wrong before. It is very important that when you go home, you have an after-care plan. The first time I came here, I didn’t know what to expect. I came out of treatment very well—happier than I have been since I was a child. I was positive I would never use opiates again, or any chemical drugs for that matter. I went home strong and confident. Too confident. I thought,Well, I still need my friends, and so what if they use? I don’t want that stuff. Days, weeks, months went by, and I was still strong, until I had a bad day. And then because it was around I figured I would do it just once. If there is anything I have learned from 12 Steps, one is too many and a thousand is never enough. The very best advice I can give you is this: Ibogaine gives you a window to break the cycle, but it is your job to get after-care, as well as change your social network. Life is a roller coaster of ups and downs, and when you are so used to not dealing with it, to numbing yourself, it is hard to figure out ways to cope without drugs. But it is possible. Don’t get your true friends confused with the people you used drugs with. And finally, stay strong, stay healthy, stay happy. This is only about you and maintaining your sobriety! Thank you to the incredible Crossroads staff and special thanks to Dr. Martin Polanco for all of your patience and support. -Nicole October 8, 2012 more

After five years of heavy oxycontin abuse, my mind finally feels clear. I feel as though it has been reset. My time at Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center has been a wonderful experience—the most beautiful and terrifying experience of my life. Ibogaine took away my mental addiction, although after the treatment I still had minor physical withdrawals. Remember, years of abuse don’t go away overnight. Stay positive and every day you will feel better. Dr. Martin Polanco and the people who work here are amazing; they only want the best for you. They helped me a lot during the Ibogaine experience. I go home in the morning and I feel like this is the start of a new life. I’m very thankful I found this place. -Jhon October 7, 2012 more

I know we all have our horror stories of how much and how many different drugs we’ve done, and the things we did to get them. But I want you to know that the rumors of what Ibogaine will do, and how good you will feel, are totally true, without a doubt. I’m amazed at how aware of my body I am now, after close to 10 years of being numbed. It feels so good I have a permanent smile on my face! Take advantage of all the great people here at Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center. I am learning new healthy habits, and I’m so excited to start my life with my inside matching the smile on the outside. Every day, something new and exciting comes to my mind. Enjoy your healing process—it’s better than anything in the world. -Joyanna October 7, 2012 more

Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I was addicted to oxycodone (20x 30m pills) every day! And I also smoked one pack of cigarettes per day. Now I have no cravings for oxys or cigarettes. I’m so grateful for my second chance. This house is full of so much love!! Thank you Crossroads Ibogaine for the best trip of my life! -Cheyenne more

I came to Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center in such doubt and at my rock bottom. I had a $100-300 a day IV Columbian powder (china white) heroin habit. I was so sick I thought I was literally going to die. Even the doctors said I was one of the worst cases you had ever seen. However, after Ibogaine, and three days in fetal position, my brain started to reconnect and I was able to function. I wanted to leave but didn’t; even days after the treatment I felt horrible and was convinced it hadn’t worked! But this treatment was my last resort, and for the last several days, including today, I’ve felt great. Thanks you all for taking care of me during the worst days of my entire life with such compassion. You treated a stranger as if I were your own son. I couldn’t have done it without everyone here. If I can make it, anyone can. Thank you for a new start on life. -Evan September 22, 2012 more

I am the mother of a heroin addict and I was literally at my wit’s end. I sent my daughter to rehab two times and within three weeks she was back using again. So I watched several videos and went online to do some research about Ibogaine, because I had heard a few people talk about it. I found some Ibogaine treatment centers and decided to check out Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center. My daughter and I took a trip down to Rosarito Beach because I had lots of concerns. The staff was absolutely wonderful and the facility was more beautiful than the pictures on the internet. I was able to talk to my daughter every day on the phone and that really set my mind at ease. My daughter is amazed at the fact that she has no desire for heroin at all. It is so amazing to me too! All I can say is thank you so much for saving my daughter’s life. -Melissa more

Words like “thank you” don’t begin to hold a candle to how I feel towards Dr. Martin Polanco and his team at Crossroads. Not only is Ibogaine therapy the miracle for opioid dependence, but either by luck or chance, or divine mercy, I ended up at THE BEST Ibogaine clinic in the world. The safety, compassion, empathy and immediate love I felt from this group was extraordinary! I’ve had a very difficult time battling my addiction. I’ve been to 12-step treatment five times, once for a year, and before I got to Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center, I was in and out of detox six times within a two month period. If you are ready to end the war and take your life back, simply do this. Give one week to end the hell you have called the world. Also, in my opinion it is important to remember the first 12 hours after Ibogaine hurts a little. But Dr. Polanco said, “Tomorrow morning you will feel the miraculous change that Ibogaine gives!” I didn’t believe him, but sure enough, the next morning I awoke feeling like I had never even done opiates before! Trust these people, they know what they’re doing. I swear on my life—my brand new life. -Wes more

I cannot express all the gratitude that I hold in my heart. What a team! If you can make this miracle happen for me, I pray you continue to help others. I love you all and will miss you.This is not a goodbye, simply farewell until next time. I look so forward to keeping in touch and sharing my new life with you. -Lisa June 4, 2012 more

As the great Bob Marley said, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery—none but ourselves can free our minds.” My time at Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center was a great experience. My body is free and my mind is clear…Thank you for the second chance at life! -Jeff more

I’m a 31-year-old Ohio native who has been helpless in the throes of opioid dependency for 12 years. By the time I came to Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center, I had nearly a constant $200 dollars/day heroin habit. Though I’d done my homework about Ibogaine, I still had concerns that it might not work for me so easily, as my habit was so profound and had been going on for so long. To my utter delight however, it worked wonderfully. The first time I awoke here, Dr. Martin Polanco asked me if I was experiencing any withdrawal. I had to ponder this briefly, but the answer was, No! For the first time in years, I had awoken like a normal human, not needing to do a shot just to get out of bed. If it worked for me, I guarantee it’ll work for you. Expect some pretty nasty nausea coupled w/insomnia for a few days following the treatment, but remember anything is better than withdrawal! My deepest gratitude to you all. -Evan August 5, 2012 more

You gave me a second chance at life, and for that I am eternally grateful. I love you all so very much, and thank you again for everything. -Deanna August 1, 2012 more

At first I didn’t believe that treatment with Ibogaine could cure my opiate withdrawals. I had doubts even a few days into the treatment. For anyone who is new to Crossroads Ibogaine Treatment Center, my advice is to just keep going. It gets better every day! I feel like a new person! This was an incredible experience, so take advantage of it. Thank you so much to Dr. Martin Polanco and staff—you all will hold a piece in my heart, and I appreciate your kindness in helping me. I wish I didn’t have to leave, though I am excited to start my new life!! I feel so privileged to have come to such a fantastic clinic. -Alannah September 6, 2012 more
