The rate at which individuals are losing their lives due to drug addiction poses as a danger to the community at large. Over-dependence on illegal and prescription drugs by adults and teenagers lead to deterioration of health and increased social crimes. Attempts to reduce the situations with the application of Ibogaine Detox Treatment to addicts has had success.

The substance called Ibogaine is derived from a native plant known as Iboga in extract form. The substance is administered to patients who have an addiction problem as it works by resetting the receptors in the brain of the addict to stop the dependency on the particular drug being abused. It also helps to flush away the drug from the body and remove the memories of drug dependency from the person.

The use of these substance is still undergoing much discussion but has been used on some individuals who have shown some remarkable improvement. Comparing the usual treatments which involve long days of withdrawal and pain, the individual will only experience this for a short while and get back on track. However, it is required to be administered legally in a clinic in the presence of a practitioner.

Before the commencement of the treatment, a medical examination has to be done. This is because the treatment is both emotional and physical in nature and people with some preconditions are not allowed to take Ibogaine. People having conditions such as epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, heart diseases, pregnant, lung diseases among others do not qualify as candidates for this treatment.

After determination of whether one is a candidate and it is approved, the administering of the chemical is done which later in a few hours, sets the person to be in a dreamlike state. It is in this situation that the individual gets to experience some past events which to some may come clearly while others may not. The events are meant for the person to understand the leading cause to the addiction and is known as the Acute or Awakened dream state.

The second stage is known as the Introspective or evaluative stage. Here, the individual tends to be more reflective of what he or she has experienced in the first stage. Some may become quite emotional due to what they have seen and may take time to process everything. At this phase, it is important to have the presence of a specialist to help the person through the recovery.

The third stage which is also known as the stimulation phase is where the individuals learns to have acceptance and learn on ways to live a better life. The person will go through some days of correct living as he or she learns to change and be better. With the help of a specialist, the individual will be able to practice on correct ways of life.

In order for these substance to be fully functional, the individual has to go through a number of therapy sessions. This is because the ability of the person to want to go back to old habits is as high as the person moving forward to a better life. Getting a certified therapist to provide the individual with proper advice helps reduce cravings and ill motives.
