Over 20 guests complete treatment at Beond
"I was heavily dependent on oxycodone to the tune of over 3,000 mg per day. It caused me to lose jobs and some of my closest friends, and to nearly lose my wife. One night she told me about ibogaine, and after looking at about a dozen clinics, we mutually decided on Beond.
The big difference was that Beond invited me to come for two weeks instead of one, and designed a personal tapering protocol. The doctors meticulously calculated the procedure, carefully balancing the titration of suboxone with short-acting opiates to minimize my cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This practice is not offered by other Mexico-based clinics.
I was tethered to cardiac, blood pressure, and pulse monitoring for much of my time. I was constantly attended to by licensed nurses, and my physician remained by my side overnight and all day. My ibogaine therapy experience at Beond cleared me from opiates with extremely few withdrawal symptoms. For me these were limited to a little anxiety, and some incessant yawning (a typical withdrawal symptom) that lasted a few days—a small price to pay for ending a decade of opiate dependence."

"I had hit rock bottom. I lost the girl of my dreams, my dog, and I had to move back in with my parents. I fell into a deep depression, and was feeling so hopeless over the next two months that I tried to overdose two times. My parents realized that they had nothing to lose by agreeing to send me to an ibogaine clinic. I felt like there might be hope.
The team at Beond made me feel like family before I even walked through their front door. I have never seen a team work so seamlessly together, with genuine care. After my first dose, I immediately felt like a new human being: My head was clear, I was no longer depressed, and I no longer wanted to use drugs since I didn’t have any pain to numb anymore. I now wake up every morning with a smile on my face and am happy to be alive.
There will always be aftercare and work to do, but now I’m finally in the right headspace to do that work. Ibogaine saved my life, and I watched it save the lives of others. I will be forever grateful to the team at Beond."

"I came to Beond to get off opiates and to be clean, sober, and free for the first time. I came in completely closed off and isolated, using copious amounts of fentanyl, benzos, and meth.
Though it wasn’t easy, Beond literally held my hand the entire time. I felt safe and loved the entire time I was there. My earlier conceptions about ibogaine being scary and unsafe I found completely false; it was nothing but nurturing to me. Ibogaine went through my body, healing place by place, opening my awareness of my traumas, what I need to work on, where I need to go, and why I’d been stuck for so long.
I used drugs as a way to escape from my reality and avoid them, and now that the veil has been lifted I've reconnected with myself in a creative and spiritual way. That includes music, art, relationships, family, intellect, reading, understanding myself, and a true desire to be a part of the world.
I'd been to upwards of 80 different treatment centers whose cookie-cutter treatment plans pumped my insurance and then sent me off with no usable tools. The difference with Beond was that I was able to find myself. With Beond, my post-care plan has been extensive and purposeful, specifically catered to me and my wants and desires, helping me build my dream plan. The light is back in my eyes."
