New Addiction Treatment Draws Addicts to Clinics In Canada, Mexico

(PRWEB) September 24, 2006 — Ibogaine, a powerful new agent in the fight against drug and alcohol addiction is being offered by a growing number of treatment centers in Canada and Mexico. www.ibogaineClinics.com recently went online as a resource for information about ibogaine and legally operated ibogaine clinics.

Most people have never heard of ibogaine, but its recent successes in reversing addictions will likely change all that. Ibogaine comes from the Tabernanthe Iboga plant that grows in West Central Africa. It has been used for centuries as a plant based sacrament by the followers of the Bwiti religion.

In the 1960’s, ibogaine was found to have powerful anti-addiction effects on its users. Almost by accident, it was discovered that ibogaine could: 1) effectively knock out opiate addiction, and 2) knock it out without causing withdrawals. Subsequently, ibogaine was found equally effective in treating cocaine, crack, methadone, methamphetamine, alcohol, and other addictions.

Medical research is gearing up to bring ibogaine to market as a pharmaceutically sanctioned anti-addiction drug, but the process is slow and tedious and until it receives FDA approval, ibogaine will remain illegal in the U.S. Not so however, for ibogaine clinics sprouting up in Canada and Mexico, among other countries.

Many addicts seeking ibogaine treatment have histories of attempted recovery through participation in conventional drug rehabilitation programs. While professionally staffed and armed with up to date methods, many drug treatment programs “graduate” patients who soon go back to drugs. It is believed that many of these relapses occur because the deep-seated psychological traumas that are linked to persistent addictive behavior are not adequately addressed in conventional therapy.

Ibogaine therapy on the other hand seems to accomplish the almost impossible task of both reducing physical cravings and unraveling psychological trauma. After a single treatment, addicts claim “deep insights” into the nature of their addiction as well as being free from cravings for weeks to months following treatment.

In the absence of U.S. treatment options, addicts are traveling across borders to check in to professionally run treatment centers in Canada and Mexico. In response to the demand, a growing number of these clinics are sprouting up. As an online resource for addicts seeking information about ibogaine as well as options for treatment at legally operated ibogaine centers, www.ibogaineclinics.com fills an important current market need.

Representative for the Ibogaine organization Josh Nay states in his blog “We are a new organization devoted to finding you the help you need to overcome your addiction. We believe the substance ibogaine is the most effective and helpful drug treatment resource available”.
