According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 20.2 million adults had a substance disorder in the United States in 2014, and of those almost 40% had co-occurring mental illness — a much higher rate of mental illness than that of the general population. This suggests that addiction often arises out of deeper or more complicated psychological factors.

The Importance of the Therapeutic Community in Ibogaine Aftercare Programs
Mindfulness and Decision-Making
The intentional practice and application of mindfulness — or present awareness — has existed for millions of years, but was historically reserved for very few people. Nowadays mainstream culture is increasingly adopting this knowledge from religious traditions, along with an approach to life that integrates the practice of paying attention to all experience. That is to say, consciously observing our experiences -- what we perceive, what we think, the feelings that arise -- without judgement nor reaction, regardless of what surfaces.
The effects of Ibogaine and importance of aftercare
Ibogaine, an entheogenic alkaloid extracted from plants in the Apocynacea family or synthesized from the precursor compound voacangine, has shown promise as an effective interrupter of opiate dependency. Clinical studies have demonstrated Ibogaine’s ability to attenuate symptoms of acute opiate withdrawal, reduce drug cravings, and alleviate depression. Research studies show these effects to last longer than 30 days, and additionally that many people treated with Ibogaine maintain abstinence from opiates and other drugs for much longer periods. A small subset of individuals treated with ibogaine will fall back into opiate dependency within days or weeks following treatment and some will relapse after a few months following treatment. Looking at both clinical and anecdotal evidence, it appears that Ibogaine is not a “magic cure” for addiction, but highly effective at helping to facilitate long periods of abstinence and recovery.
