  • Samantha Juan’s Testimony - “I received my ibogaine treatment in July of 2023 in Mexico with the Mission Within. This treatment saved my life and cured me from any opiate cravings I was having. I have not used an opiate since. At the time I was seeking treatment, I didn't have a job, a place to live, and I was withdrawing from my addiction to percs. I had received psylocibin treatment from TMW before but I wasn't using opiates then. I reached out to Dr Polanco on a Tuesday desperate for help. By the grace of God, there was one slot open for an Ibogaine retreat that very Friday - I just needed to get to Mexico. With 0 hesitation I booked my flight there on my credit card with money I didn’t have. Sabot Foundation was kind enough to sponsor me as I didn’t have the money for treatment but I made it there as I was told to do. The journey was a brutal 14 hour ride but I would do it again if it meant I would get to where I am today. This treatment saved my life. I am a U.S. Army veteran, Cultural Support Team leader for JSOC and I can't speak highly enough about the treatment.”
