March 21, 2024 at 3:06 pmThe staff was very pleasant, caring, and seem to be genuinely interested in helping people overcome their problems or addictions. I would recommend this, but be prepared. It’s not what you think it will be, but that’s not a bad thing because it’s exactly what you will need.

October 24, 2023 at 6:55 pmI recently had an unfortunate experience with Ibogaine by David Dardashti, and I feel compelled to share my story to warn others about my encounter with their services.
I initially reached out to Ibogaine by David Dardashti to procure their services, which required a payment of $6,000. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to change my plans and, regrettably, could not receive the intended services. I promptly contacted Cole to request a refund, as I had not utilized any of their services and felt it was a reasonable request.
To my surprise, they initially processed the refund after a month of my request, and I received the money back in my account. However, my dissatisfaction with Ibogaine by David Dardashti arose when they subsequently filed a dispute to reclaim the refunded amount, which led to my financial accounts being frozen. This unexpected turn of events left me in a difficult and distressing situation.
I want to emphasize that I had never received any treatment or service from Ibogaine by David Dardashti, and I had adhered to their refund policy in good faith. The actions taken by this business to reverse the refund and freeze my accounts have been both perplexing and distressing.
I believe that a business should uphold ethical standards and transparently communicate with their clients. In my case, I encountered a lack of understanding and cooperation from this business, which has left me in a challenging situation.
I hope my experience serves as a cautionary tale for others who may consider engaging with Ibogaine by David Dardashti to seek treatment. Please exercise caution and ensure that you ask the community about their business and not get fooled by the reviews and Youtube videos out there. I should not have to deal with this inconvenience for doing nothing wrong.
Please read my previous review for more context. PLEASE BE AWARE and do your research!!!

October 13, 2023 at 4:42 amI was treated by David Dardashti and his team. They saved my life. Today many years later I am stronger than ever. I’m truly grateful. David and his team do things with ibogaine many practitioners don’t know are possible or even understand. I’ve seen it. Amazing. It’s the chance of a lifetime.

October 12, 2023 at 4:05 pmAmazing place! David really gets to know your personal struggles and finds the root of the problem. I really can’t recommend enough!
The team makes sure the treatment is just right for you, and they help you leave without withdrawals, in fact they basically make sure of it before discharging you. Huge shoutout to David and his approach! it was a very nice combo of medical/clinical with spiritual elements that really make you feel like you’re having a deep and healing experience. The food is fresh and healthy, and the Playa del Carmen location is so peaceful. Loved our safe walks in the beautiful Playacar area.
If you need to heal, you have to call here!

September 25, 2023 at 5:53 pm“I went because I did not want withdrawals…….but real true benefit was the grooves in the record of my addiction were filled in, and it allowed me to create a new ‘song’ in my brains behavior.”
That testimonial from a former patient of the Ibogaine Clinic was the turning point for me when it came to my decision about the clinic:
I’m not entirely sure where to begin, but I want to share something that *may not sit well with everyone. I’m a parent to three boys, all very close in age, with just 35 months between them. When they took up something, they did it with full enthusiasm and always together, whether it was little league or video gaming. As they entered adolescence, they also entered a world where drugs were readily available in schools and on social media. I’ve become all too familiar with rehabs and the recovery system as a result.
*And, I have to admit, I’m no longer a fan. After years and countless trips to adolescent and eventually adult rehabs, I dug deep and discovered that they had a mere single digit success rate. At that point, it seemed like there were no other alternatives. In June of this year, my youngest son tragically passed away due to Fentanyl poisoning. He had been “clean” for 47 days, except for the use of Suboxone, and was waiting for a bed in yet another detox/rehab when he lost his life.
His older brother (the middle child) and he were deeply entrenched in addiction to Fentanyl and Suboxone. Naturally, all three had explored the full spectrum of available drugs that today’s society offers. Unfortunately, the younger two eventually ended up at the most dangerous end of the spectrum: opioids. At my youngest son’s funeral, I expressed my belief that we, as a society, must find a solution to the easy access our kids and young adults have to these highly addictive and dangerous chemicals and substances.
Following the funeral, a lifelong friend approached me and shared her experience with Ibogaine and how it had helped her a few years previous. I initially approached this with skepticism and apprehension, but the more I delved into it, the more hopeful I became. My primary concern of course, was the potential risk, particularly the risk of death associated with such a treatment. After extensive research, I learned that this risk is primarily associated with the use of the RAW Iboga root.
However, the Ibogaine Clinic and their approach to treating addicts using pure Ibogaine extracted from the Iboga root, and that they also have medical professionals on site, overseeing and ensuring the safest and most effective treatment possible; these facts led me to the Ibogaine Clinic.
My surviving middle son has now been back from the Ibogaine Clinic for two weeks. He spent 10 days there, and all I can say at this point, that it’s nothing short of miraculous. I haven’t seen him like this in a decade. He’s vibrant, filled with energy, and motivated to make his life better and more fulfilling. We exchanged daily texts while he was undergoing his treatments, and I could witness his progress with each passing day.
He’s now actively engaged in an excellent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) since his return. Please don’t misunderstand me; I deeply appreciate and support the concept of recovery groups and their valuable assistance. What I don’t agree with is the notion that “relapse is part of recovery.” Perhaps it held true in simpler times when 12-step groups were helping alcoholics and substance abusers, but today, relapse carries a high risk of fatality. My youngest son lost his life to relapse – as does so many opioid addicts.
Certainly, Ibogaine isn’t a magical solution for completely transforming opioid and alcohol addicted individuals. However, it possesses the capability to ‘reset’ the brain, allowing the addict to genuinely address the root causes of their addiction without the burden of withdrawal symptoms.
I believe a combination of using helpful substances like Ibogaine, coupled with Recovery groups (Sober Living, IOP, Etc) has huge potential for saving many of our loved ones and the millions of Addicts in the world, today. Ibogaine Clinic is a safe and sound option to explore and consider.
NOTE: I am not a doctor, nor am I in the medical field. These are only my personal views, and an experience based on one person, not medical advice. You should do your own research and consult with experts before deciding what treatment is most appropriate for you or your loved one. Also, this is an independent review and I receive no incentive for submitting it. I only hope others can find the freedom and recovery my son is experiencing.
P.S. Cole was our Intake Rep and we never could have made it to Cancun in time for my Son’s scheduled treatment, without Cole and his calm, expert guidance!

September 18, 2023 at 6:12 pmIbogaine By David Dardashti offers the most effective ibogaine treatment. They are constantly looking for new ways to improve the facility. David treats his guests as if they were his own children. A truly remarkable man who helped me get off Suboxone without going on to a short acting opiate, like every other clinic suggested.

May 2, 2023 at 6:14 pmI felt hopeless after using opiates for close to 15 years, most recently fentanyl and suboxone. I learned of David Dardashti’s ibogaine treatment program after watching countless video testimonials on youtube and it gave me hope again. After spending 10 days here I am going home a brand new me, I feel strong and happy, something I have not felt in decades. This treatment was amazing. I felt very little to no withdrawal the first two days and then when i got into my second treatment i felt above and beyond anything I could ever imagine. This place is a miracle, the entire staff truly cares about helping people. I had a private room in a beautiful facility with different therapies and events planned for me during my stay. I’m so happy I made this choice for myself despite all the people who tried to scare me away. Absolutely life changing, thank you so much Mr. Dardashti and to the entire team here!!

February 10, 2023 at 7:17 pmI went to David Dardashti to treat myself with ibogaine for childhood trauma. David wasn’t even there. However I received exellemd treatment by his staff. This place is the real deal. I highly recommend going specifically to David’s retreat since as far as I know he has the most experience and is truly doing this for his deep passion to help others reset from their trauma and get a true fresh start.
