The Medicine

About the treatment

Our retreats center on ibogaine, a plant-derived medicine studied for its ability to interrupt addiction and trauma patterns at the neurological level. Ibogaine is not a controlled substance under Mexican law, which allows licensed medical professionals to administer it in supervised clinical settings. Every veteran receives a full medical evaluation before treatment, continuous monitoring by a doctor and nurse during treatment, and structured integration and aftercare afterward.

Is the treatment safe?

Safety starts before arrival: full medical screening, then continuous monitoring by a doctor and nurse throughout treatment, and structured aftercare. Veterans with certain conditions may not qualify — that's what screening is for.

Is it legal?

Treatment takes place in Mexico, where ibogaine is not a controlled substance and can be administered by licensed medical professionals. It is not available in the United States.

Who qualifies?

U.S. military veterans seeking help with PTSD, depression, anxiety, or addiction. Medical screening is required for every applicant.

Does it replace my current treatment?

No. Many veterans report meaningful breakthroughs, but our program is not a cure and is not a substitute for care from your physician or the VA.

In Their Words

Veterans who rose

Real veterans and guests, in their own words.

"As a veteran who has been struggling with PTSD for years, I found the transformational retreat to be truly life-changing. I left feeling rejuvenated, with a newfound sense of purpose and peace."

Marvin Craig

"The holistic approach to mental health and wellness was exactly what I needed to overcome my anxiety and depression. I can now enjoy my hobbies and time with my family without feeling overwhelmed."

Byron Wilkerson

"I tried various traditional treatments for my PTSD, but nothing seemed to work until I discovered All Heroes Rise. I felt supported every step of the way, and the aftercare plan helped me maintain my progress."

Ignacio Gilbert

"The staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe. The guided hypnotherapy session was a game-changer for me."

Austin Gomez

"The team created an environment that made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire retreat — a perfect combination of relaxation, self-reflection, and learning about natural healing methods."
