Legal Status of Ibogaine Around the World

More and more people are taking Ibogaine as they discover its amazing benefits. Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance that is said to alleviate the physical symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Ibogaine is made from a root bark and the medicine has been used for thousands of years as a rite of passage in parts of Africa. In America, it’s been used in a secretive and illicit way since the 1960s for spiritual development and addiction treatment. Ibogaine is a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance under State and federal law. Due to legal restrictions of Ibogaine in the US, there hasn’t been the opportunity for much clinical research. Since ibogaine is illegal in the United States, American patients travel to foreign countries for treatment.  Ibogaine is legal but unregulated in Canada and Mexico. New Zealand, South Africa, and Brazil authorize the use of ibogaine by licensed medical practitioners and it is an approved medicine.

 

Wendell Beitzel, a Maryland Republican Member of House of Delegates submitted a proposal to re-introduce a bill in the next General Assembly session to study ibogaine. Wendell’s wife, provided extensive research for the legislative approval. This bill would provide ibogaine treatment at participating health care facilities targeting opioid addicts who have not responded to conventional treatments, such as suboxone and methadone for opioid dependence. President Trump declared America’s opioid crisis a public health emergency.  According to Beitzel, Maryland drug and alcohol deaths are at an all-time high. Of all intoxication deaths 86% were opioid-related last year. Beitzel and his wife know from personal experience with their son, an opiate addict, that ibogaine healed him of his addition. We have to pass this bill so that we can research ways to institutionalize ibogaine treatment in a way that is accessible and effective for all people. For the thousands of people in this country who are struggling and dying in the grips of opiate addiction. If this bill passes, the first Ibogaine Treatment Pilot Program would be set to begin by January 1, 2019 and be approved for research for up to four years. This bill specifies that during the treatment of ibogaine, the patients will be evaluated on the effectiveness of Ibogaine compared to conventional treatment methods. The General Assembly’s bill demonstrates a recognition that addiction is a disease and that recovery is possible. The need to pass the bill could not be more urgent for the many hundreds of thousands across Maryland and the United States of America who are facing the disease of addiction and for the loved ones of those who have already lost their lives to this disease. This bill comes at a very important time for America’s opioid crisis. The American Society of Addiction Medicine estimates that there’s nearly 2.6 million Americans with an opioid addiction.

 

Ibogaine remains a Schedule I drug, even as the opioid crisis continues to grow. This is the first time ibogaine has come up as a topic in mainstream media regarding the opioid crisis.  I believe it is the wave of decriminalisation/legalisation of marijuana that has created a backdrop to finally introduce scientific research of ibogaine in America. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) has had some success introducing clinical trials of Ibogaine in other countries where Ibogaine is legal. A past research study sponsored by MAPS in Mexico and New Zealand, both show that after a single treatment of ibogaine, for reasons unknown, someone could go cold turkey from opiates without any physical or mental symptoms of withdrawal. Just one treatment of ibogaine can reset the brain’s neurochemistry freeing the drug user from a destructive pattern of abuse. Traditional treatment methods like suboxone or methadone need to be taken continuously and can be addictive. This bill may not be easy to pass as traditional opiate treatments today provide big incentives for Big Pharma: Suboxone and Methadone are drugs that require daily use for extended periods of time whereas ibogaine, with its one treatment, threatens the very order of things.

 

Due to the success of ibogaine healing addicts, ibogaine treatment centers have popped up all over the world, except here in the states. Conventional science says that anecdotes do not count but when you have several hundred cases saying that Ibogaine works to cure opioid addiction, maybe anecdotal evidence should be counted. It is clear that ibogaine is a beautiful and powerful medicine that can really help facilitate transformative growth in anyone trying to overcome addiction to become the best version of themself. Ibogaine has appeared as a ray of light for millions of people suffering with heroin addiction and overdose.

 

Crossroads Ibogaine is the best Treatment Center offering a 7-day ibogaine detox treatment program that’s considered to be among the best in the world. What makes Crossroads better than other ibogaine detox programs is Crossroads believes in a 3-part Ibogaine program.  Part one is our precare preparation to help the patient achieve the greatest results.Part one includes a Skype or phone coaching call and an advanced medical screening where we answer any questions the patient may have prior to heading to the Bahamas for treatment.  Part 2 is a safe and highly transformative plant medicine experience with the Ibogaine. During part two the patient goes through a physical evaluation by a physician prior to Ibogaine treatment and is medically supervised during treatment. Also included in part two of the Crossroads treatment are optional massages, beach time and horseback riding trips. Part 3 is an extended aftercare program, helping the patient integrate back into their lives at a licensed facility in the US. Part 3 also includes: skype or phone recovery coaching once the patient returns home, access to our social media support group, personalized integration resources and optional post-ibogaine herbal supplements.

How the Right Diet Can Help Aide in Addiction Recovery

 

Whether you’ve just finished treatment or have been in recovery for a while, it’s important to know how much of an impact your diet can have during the process. What we eat literally has everything to do with how we feel. When it comes to the addict in recovery, a healthy diet can make a tremendous impact on the way they experience the recovery process. When a person is equipped with the knowledge of what to eat and why, serious change can occur in the way they feel both mentally and physically.

Nature Offers Everything We Need to Heal

Many addicts don’t realize the physical toll drug abuse takes on their body. From malnutrition and dehydration that’s common amongst most addicts, to more serious health problems such as liver damage and damage to the central nervous system, addiction can wreak havoc on a person’s physical health.

Nature, however, gives us everything we need to heal. Aside from activities such as yoga and mindfulness, taking a holistic approach to addiction recovery involves eating nutritious foods and taking certain supplements. Holistic healing is far removed from the cigarettes and coffee so common at the corner AA meeting.

Treating the body naturally begins with offering it everything it needs to repair and recover from the damage done during addiction. Knowing what foods to avoid, as well as what to eat for the best possible recovery, can help immensely in the way you feel and how much you enjoy your newfound sobriety.

Foods to Avoid When Overcoming Addiction

Sugar

Sugar is a common substitute for drugs or alcohol for countless people in addiction recovery. And while a sweet treat here and there is fine, reaching for candy, cookies, or cupcakes every time a craving hits can lead to an entirely new dependence. Sugar is one of the most addictive substances there is, and can cause some serious health issues when it becomes a regular part of a person’s diet. Excess sugar consumption (more than 25 grams a day) is known to cause cravings, irritability, fatigue, sugar “crash”, anxiety, hormone imbalance, and more.

Caffeine

Coffee is a big go-to for many people in recovery. And while it does offer a boost and can be a great way to kick start the day, it also overstimulates the central nervous system. Coffee consumption can lead to anxiety and insomnia, both of which people in recovery should avoid as much as possible. Switching to an herbal alternative, such as green tea or yerba mate, will offer a boost while keeping away the jitters. Green tea is also full of antioxidants that will help repair the radical damage that’s been done from excessive substance abuse.

Processed/Artificial Foods

The food a person eats while in recovery should be as close to its natural state as possible. This means processed and artificial foods should be cut out of a person’s diet completely. Foods to avoid include:

• Fast food
• Processed snacks (chips, cookies, etc.)
• Soda
• Processed meats and cheeses

Foods that are easy and convenient often tend to be the worst for you. While they might fill you up, they do nothing for your overall health and wellness. Doing your best to avoid all processed foods can be extremely beneficial for recovery. Click here for a list of common foods that you should stay away from not only while overcoming addiction, but also as a general rule.

The Best Foods to Eat During Addiction Recovery

While introducing a diet full of wholesome fruits, grains, and veggies might feel difficult at first, once you get into the habit of eating well, your body will begin to crave the healthy food you offer it.

Healthy Proteins

Getting adequate amounts of healthy proteins is vital for people who are overcoming an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Protein is excellent at providing blood sugar stabilization (great to eat in place of sugar cravings) and works to repair tissue damage and restore damage done to organs from the hard abuse done to the body. Healthy proteins to consume during recovery include nuts, eggs, chicken, fish, turkey, and lean red meats.

Healthy Fats

Adequate consumption of healthy fats is essential to those going through recovery. Healthy fats are crucial to help the body absorb vitamins and other nutrients. They are also necessary for cellular repair. Avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, and flaxseed oil are all excellent types of healthy fats that can easily be added to a person’s regular diet. The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseed oils are essential to brain and overall health as well.

Wholesome Fruits and Veggies

The more greens and fresh foods you can add to your diet while in recovery, the better. Eating fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants can have a powerful effect on your health. Antioxidant rich foods help protect and repair the cells from damage, making them beneficial to anyone who has been struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction. Apples, blueberries, and strawberries are all fruits with a high antioxidant content. Veggies to munch on with plenty of antioxidants include broccoli and cauliflower, spinach, carrots, and bell peppers.

Whole Grains

When recovering from addiction, getting rid of refined carbs (white bread, flour, and pasta) is a must. Begin to replace these health hindering foods with whole grain breads and pastas, brown rice, and other grains such as quinoa, millet, or bulgur. Recovery requires adequate amounts of fiber to help the body repair the damage that’s been done to the digestive system. Fiber is also found in some fruits and veggies including mango, artichokes, and peas. It can also be found in abundance in black beans.

True addiction recovery happens when a person takes the steps necessary to restore their body and mind. Nothing will help this more than a diet that is rich in everything your body needs to recover. With the excessive amount of damage addiction does to a person’s body, it might be necessary to complete change your diet. Eliminating the food that harms your body and replacing it with wholesome foods that promote health and wellbeing can be more than life-changing for addicts in recovery.

Could Ketamine Be the Answer for Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol addiction is the most widespread form of substance abuse disorders. Not only is alcohol legal, but it is typically encouraged as a way to relax and have a good time. According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIH), there are over 15 million people in the US alone that abuse alcohol on a regular basis. And while there are countless rehab options to treat alcoholism, it’s widely known that traditional rehab doesn’t always work.

The very programs that have been touted to tame the alcoholic mind for almost a hundred years (think AA and other 12-step programs) only come with a 5-10 percent success rate. And when it comes to something as important as overcoming an addiction to alcohol, the last thing anyone wants to be is a statistic. It’s reasons such as these that have countless people turning to alternative forms of treatment to overcome addictions to alcohol and other substances.

Can Ketamine Help with Alcohol Addiction?

Research is in the works that could help countless people suffering from alcoholism overcome their addiction for good. Some scientists are suggesting that ketamine (currently considered a recreational drug) could be an excellent aid in the treatment of alcohol addiction.

Researchers at the University College of London (UCL) are testing whether or not ketamine can be effective in changing negative patterns of behavior associated with alcoholism by erasing the memories and triggers that lead to substance abuse and addiction. While results from these tests won’t be published for more than a year, researchers behind the study remain hopeful.

The research that began in 2016 has showed promise in the way ketamine can disrupt the formation of memories. The scientists behind the study believe it is this property that could be used to help get rid of the memories that trigger addiction and negative patterns of behavior. According to Ravi Das, one of the researchers behind the study, “Memories that you form can be hijacked by drugs in some people. If you were an alcoholic you might have a strong feeling of being in a certain place and wanting to drink. Those memories get triggered by things in the environment you can’t avoid.”

Taking a Look at Triggers

These are the triggers that make relapse such a prominent misfortune in the world of addiction recovery. Anyone who has ever unsuccessfully tried to quit drinking or doing drugs, knows how quickly these triggers can get under your skin and spark the desire to use. Things like seeing a certain person someone used to drink with, hearing the clink of glasses, walking by the bar and seeing people outside smoking, and even the simple act of returning home from work can easily set off the urge to drink.

It’s thought that treatment with ketamine can help a person erase the memories associated with drinking so everyday situations don’t elicit the urge to drink. Because there is growing knowledge that memories aren’t as stable as originally presumed, it’s believed the memories that trigger addictive behavior can be manipulated.

Ketamine is known to block the brain receptor NMDA, which is necessary for the formation of memories. And because each time our brain retrieves a memory, the neural connections that program it are momentarily disrupted, it is believed that giving a person ketamine just as the memory has been disrupted can help to diminish the memory, or get rid of it completely.

The Study of Ketamine on the Alcoholic Mind

The study taking place at UCL involves scientists intentionally triggering memories in the minds of heavy drinkers or alcoholics. And while the research team isn’t revealing all details of the study, they believe that by placing a beer or other alcoholic drink in front of a person and then disrupting whatever memory was triggered, they will be able to intentionally help them overcome the memories that lead to the urge to drink.

After patients are surprised they will be given either a ketamine mixture that contains a high dose or a placebo. Research scientists plan on following up with participants in a year to see if their drinking has stopped, slowed down, or changed at all.

Das is aware that regardless of how well ketamine works in relation to alcohol addiction not everyone will embrace it for what it’s worth. “There’s just the general social attitude that everything illegal is terrible,” he says. “There will obviously be that kind of narrow-minded pushback. But if it’s safe and effective enough it should be recommended.”

Ibogaine and ayahuasca are two alternative treatments that have showed great promise in treating addiction in an unconventional way. As more and more people turn toward other possibilities of treating addiction, we will discover more information on what works and what doesn’t. Ketamine is one such alternative that is showing the potential to treat addiction in a way nothing else has done up to this point. With research underway, it is just a matter of time before this party drug could be looked at in an entirely different light.

How Meditation Can Help with Addiction Recovery

With many people taking a holistic approach to treating addiction, meditation has become an integral aspect of many addiction recovery programs. Meditation has been used in Eastern cultures for years, and has recently found its way into Western culture as countless people turn toward more natural ways of taking care of their body and mind. And, while not considered a cure-all for those overcoming addiction, meditation is unprecedented at increasing self-awareness, combating stress and anxiety, decreasing negative emotional response, and helping increase connection.

5 Ways Meditation Helps in Addiction Recovery

#1 – Lowers Stress Levels

It’s no secret that stress leads to substance abuse. Anyone who has struggled with addiction is familiar with the immediate urge to use when hit with stressful situations. Whether it’s cigarettes, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, or food…when stress hits the addicted brain, the desire to numb it with a person’s drug of choice is clearly evident. A regular meditation practice can help relieve stress and invoke a sense of calm that permeates a person’s presence even when they aren’t meditating. Meditation works in harmony with the central nervous system, guiding a person out of “fight or flight” mode and into an oasis of increased calm and awareness. Meditating even five minutes a day can significantly reduce the stress that leads to compulsive drug or alcohol abuse.

#2 – Increases Dopamine Levels

Drugs and alcohol increase dopamine levels in the reward centers of the brain, part of which makes a person feel good when they’re high. When their drug of choice begins to wear off, however, dopamine levels plummet to levels lower than they were before using. This is what leads to people craving more of whatever it is they’re addicted to. A 2002 study showed that meditation leads to a 65 percent increase in dopamine levels. When an individual recovering from addiction starts to meditate regularly, they will begin to naturally increase dopamine levels and decrease the desire to get high.

#3 – Decreases Compulsive Behavior

The compulsive behavior that is a natural aspect of any addiction can be managed by a regular meditation practice. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH), an addiction is a “chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive (substance or behavior) seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the addicted individual and those around him or her. Although the initial decision to use is voluntary for most people, the brain changes that occur over time challenge an addicted person’s self-control and hamper his or her ability to resist intense impulses to use.” Meditation can change compulsive behavior that is found in the majority of addicted individuals. A study published in 2012 showed that two-thirds of participants suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) reported a decline in their symptoms after combining mindfulness with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

#4 – Offers Emotional Balance

Anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol is familiar with the wave of emotions that come with it. An addict can feel invincible while they’re high, yet succumb to a deep state of depression when they begin to come down. Some of the other emotions a person might experience on the addiction rollercoaster include confidence, insecurity, happiness, anger, acceptance, irritability, contentment, anxiety…it goes on and on. Stay addicted and you’re going to continue to experience a wrath of different emotions. A regular meditation practice offers emotional balance like nothing else can. Making a concentrated effort to focus on the breath in meditation for just a few moments each day can help a person regain emotional balance after battling addiction. For the myriad of emotions that are a natural part of addiction recovery, meditation offers accentuated emotional balance when made a regular part of one’s recovery journey.

#5 – Induces a “Natural High”

When a person abuses drugs or alcohol, the happiness center of the brain (the prefrontal cortex) is stimulated. When they begin to come down from this high, the prefrontal cortex becomes under-active. Meditation increases activity in the prefrontal cortex, which can over time, evoke feelings of happiness and a “natural high” without the need for drugs or alcohol. Meditation also increases endorphins in the brain that lead to increased happiness and feelings of wellbeing. When offered as a part of an individual’s addiction recovery strategy, meditation can give patients the “high” we all inevitably seek…in the most natural way possible.

There is a reason meditation has become wildly popular in Western culture over recent years. It works (and works well) to bring calm to the chaos we all experience in our modern, fast-paced culture. For those who have fallen into the viscous trap of addiction, meditation can help ease the struggle when they make the decision to set themselves free.

When combined with other methods that have been proven successful in addiction recovery, meditation has the potential to change people’s lives. Meditation can bring a higher level of awareness not just to your addiction, but to body, mind, and soul as you consciously breathe through the recovery process.
