It has become increasingly difficult to assist an individual to maintain long term recovery from substance abuse. This is frustrating to individuals, their families and also to service providers. The reason for this trend is not absolutely clear. Over the past decades the topic of Ibogaine has been one of active interest for many psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, spiritualists, and especially those involved in drug rehabilitation therapies and alternative healing modalities. It is for this reason that Ibogaine usage on drug addicts compared to those seeking a psycho-spiritual experience has been initiated. The following information is based on the demographic profile of those administered Ibogaine in the course of time spanning from January 2006 to June 2010 by Dr. Anwar Jeewa and staff. The major considerations taken are the gender, nationality, age- range and drug history and the psycho – spiritual effects. All information is based on the Screening Questionnaire of the Ibogaine Treatment Center CC which was directly provided by the client him/herself.
