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 advantage of this treatment over the traditional way of treating drug addiction is that it allows the individual to experience the withdrawal symptoms and pain for a shorter while and he or she will be able to start a new life quickly. It is however advised that any individual having this substance administered to them should do so in the presence of a medical practitioner and in a hospital.
It is also required that each individual goes through a medical checkup before the chemical is administered. This is because not every individual can have a successful process having ingested the chemical. People with re-existing conditions such as kidney stones, vascular illnesses, pregnant women, psychiatric disorders among others do not qualify to be candidates.
For the substance to work properly, it is administered to a patient in a hospital set up and has three stages of effects that the person will experience. The first stage which is the Awakened Dream or Acute state. Here the person experiences a dreamlike situation whereby he or she experiences past events that occurred while he or she was conscious which lead to addiction of the substance which later will help the patient understand the leading cause of addiction.
The next step is where the patient wakes up and has time to reflect on the experience he or she has had in the first stage. This stage is known as introspective phase which can last for up to three days. The patient is allowed to recuperate physically and mentally as he or she reflect on everything. The person may also be tired and could spend most of the time lying down.
In the stimulation phase which is the third step, the individual will have regained some strength due to the drug being flushed from his or her mind and body. This is where corrective living is done, whereby the individual learns on importance of living a clean life and how to do so with the help of a specialist.
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.
