Methamphetamines are classified as stimulants and are generally seen in the same light as cocaine and cocaine derivatives.
Frequent use of these illegal stimulants, know as a ‘meth run’ or coke binge’ is very dangerous. Many traditional cessation tactics are completely useless against meth cravings. The use of Ibogaine treatment, however, is growing in popularity as its power to successfully detox patients and combat methamphetamine cravings becomes more widely known.
Stimulant Users can Find Help with Ibogaine
The effects of repetitive methamphetamine use are hard to get past. As such, the treatment protocols at Ibogaine by David Dardashti are designed with this drug and its effects in mind.

What Should Clients Expect during an Ibogaine Therapy Protocol?
While many studies on the effectiveness of Ibogaine have been carried out, the Ibogaine molecule itself, and its effects in Ibogaine therapies, have not been so thoroughly treated. Because of this, we do not completely understand the actual mechanisms of the treatment. Based on our experience with previous guests, we believe that the use of Ibogaine repairs synapse pathways in the brain that are destroyed by powerful stimulants such as methamphetamines. By fixing these damaged pathways, we find that most users experience a reduced need to abuse methamphetamines.
Some of our treatment participants can experience a dramatic reduction in cravings for meth, as well. This is one of the most difficult parts of stimulant addiction to treat, even for an Ibogaine protocol. Users should prepare themselves to handle cravings even after their Ibogaine treatment has been completed.
An Option for Stimulant and Meth Use: Ibogaine by David Dardashti
Unlike some of our other protocols, the treatment for meth detox requires patients to stay at our facility for a full week and requires 2 Ibogaine flood doses. All guests will have to pass a number of health tests before being approved for therapy. For full effect, guests must stop using stimulants for at least 2 weeks before visiting our facility and must be able to pass a urinalysis test.
Having methamphetamines or other stimulants in the body during an Ibogaine treatment can cause cardiac complications and side effects.
