Verified Reviewer |Medical Malpractice
Dear Ibogaine Clinic,
I am writing to address what I believe to be instances of medical malpractice during my recent stay at your facility. I am reaching out in an effort to resolve these issues before pursuing legal action, which may involve filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit alongside two other residents, Marc and Ken, who shared similar experiences, if not worse.
First and foremost, I want to emphasize that I maintain a strict lifestyle, adhering to a scriptural diet that consists solely of organic food and spring water.
Despite your claims of having chefs on staff and offering organic options, the reality of the food provided was far from satisfactory, simpler to a taco truck. The snacks were processed, the quality of the meals was subpar and inedible, and the bedding was made of polyester, which contains neurotoxins harmful to the body. The overall facility fell short of the luxury standards advertised on your website, resembling a budget motel rather than a high-end retreat.
Furthermore, the lack of attention to detail extended to basic amenities such as the shower faucet, which leaked and had little to no water pressure, and the insufficient supply of toiletries. The use of Palmolive soap, a known skin irritant and neurotoxin, was particularly concerning given my strict adherence to chemical-free products.
During our excursion to the water hole, we found it closed, and the beach we visited did not meet expectations of luxury.
The treatment received did not align with the promises made regarding Ibogaine therapy, and the second treatment was notably ineffective. I have taken a sample of the medication provided and will have it independently tested in the USA. If the substance is found to be anything other than Ibogaine, legal malpractice and fraud action may be pursued. Additionally, the unprofessional behavior displayed during my first session, as well as Ken's, was unacceptable, two of you Antonio and the nurse screaming and her crying was beyond acceptible durning my session, how was I to even get to any state of relaxation.
Moreover, I was mistakenly or intentionally served pork in a sandwich despite my dietary restrictions and even on your website and signage, which was a significant oversight.
I now have to undergo an expending two week fast and detox to rid of the toxins from my body. I have documented these incidents as theKen and Marc and intend to share my experience on a public platform, potentially reaching a wide audience through Joe Rogan's podcast my good friend and neighbor in the desert of Palm Desert. I will be posting this review on all your review sites, and until we reach a settlement, I will remove it after we have reached an agreement.
I request that you respond within 48 hours with a proposed resolution, including a refund. In the meantime, I will proceed with filing legal documentation with relevant authorities in both the USA and Mexico.
Sincerely,
Jeff Stevens

Ibogaine Therapy used in psychology
Ibeginagain/envision recovery is a SCAM!
Ibeginagain Ibogaine clinic/ envision recovery (I believe they are making a new name to disassociate with Eric Taub) False advertisements, terrible staff, provider acts like a drug
dealer when he should be at least somewhat professional for the price.
Lex Kogan is the provider at this clinic, when you talk to him on the phone he seems really happy to talk and it makes you feel as though he is excited for you to come down. This is merely a sales tactic. The time he spends with you is limited to when he is at the house and available. I and everyone who came through the clinic agreed that we spent way more time with Lex on the phone than we did at the house. I did think it was curious that he seemed available whenever I called.
There were red flags beforehand that I chose to ignore. The main one being that after I told other providers I was going to go down to Costa Rica and have Lex give me the Ibogaine treatment they all said that they have only heard bad things, the main one being that he does not make himself available when you are at the house or during the trip. This was a big one for me because my previous experiences with psychedelics have taught me that if you're not tripping with a group the next best thing is someone who has been where you are. Simply because you don't feel judged when you are acting like what probably seems psychotic to those who haven't experienced the substance you're on. I heard nurses laughing, talking about how messed up patients were, totally unprofessional.
To me it seemed like Lex has these heady ideas of what he would like the place to be, how I would describe what he was trying at sort of would have been like a libertarian spiritual zone. The thing I heard him repeat to me and others the most was that you know your body better than anyone. He was all about personal freedom. However having nurses (actually they were nurses in training), a MD who didn't speak English and was hitting on all the male patients, I was the only female there, I definitely got less attention then the guys from the medical staff which added to the unsafe feeling I had. Perhaps without the medical staff the libertarian utopia, that Lex seemed to want, would be attainable. What he has create now is two polar opposite worlds that make clients uncomfortable.
He is always on the move, some days I did not see him at all. Some on the staff spoke English, the cook and one nurse spoke English well enough to have a conversation. This proved to be very frustrating during the trip when I was trying to convey something to one of the nurses that spoke very broken English with a lot of Spanish thrown in. During the trip words in English were hard enough to understand, communication was frustrating and I gave up. Well I shouldn't say nurses actually, they were in school to be nurses, they couldn't even get an IV in me, they let me do it by myself. Another note on the staff is that the staff they list on the website was not all there. There was supposed to be a therapist there and a trip sitter who has had a full flood dose.
One of the things I was pleased with was that they let me have freedom, I could do whatever I wanted, go to town, explore the area we were in. However, I realized this during my trip that there was NO waver signed. An interesting commonality that I and the people I met who got treatment while I was there is that we were all so pissed at Lex at one point during the trip, we all felt like we got took by a scammer, he promised the world, and I expected that what the website said and what he told me on the phone would be somewhat true.
The main reason I am writing this review is because I did not feel safe, I feel as though Lex doesn't know what he's doing. His wife was pregnant and about to pop, but still you're running a business and if I pay $6500 cash for an experimental medical treatment that is run out of a shoddy bungalow with underpaid (or perhaps they were just cheap labor) I expect to be treated with a certain degree of service and to feel as though I am safe. He could have done away with the nursing staff and I probably would've felt better. Their presence made it feel like I was in a ghetto hospital. Also Lex does not carry a cell phone, WHAT THE ***? What if something were to happen to a patient? It is almost criminal of him to not carry a cell phone and at the same time the only one who has personally worked with the substance for 14 years. The 14 years part really sold me too, but after doing research I found minimal reviews or praises of his facilities or underground work. You'd think someone with 14 years of experience would have more information about him. I think he is the worst kind of scammer, one who actually puts others lives at risk for a fat stack of 100s.
Lex promised that it would be luxurious and I would be getting massages whenever I wanted. Whenever I wanted was just the days that the masseuse was there, 2 in a 10 day time span. Also the masseuse was talking, during both sessions, to Lex's wife. She was good though, but I was never able to fully relax obviously. This was simply an afterthought, I was not looking for luxury when I was searching for clinics, but if you tell me something that is a lie it is a false advertisement to get me to buy your service.
Please look into other clinics, the medicine itself was great. I remember waking up and the first thing I though was "this place is a scams but the medicine is good, I came for the medicine, be happy". I would never recommend this place to take Ibogaine, not even to my worst enemy.
Lex is a salesmen, just know that, I have worked in that field for a long time. I don't think he deals with many people who pay their own way, it's probably mostly parents who are desperate and want to get their children help no matter the cost. Lex is selling the easiest thing there is to sell to desperate people, hopes and dreams.
One last thing that I have to mention that bugged me out pre-trip. Lex was talking about how in Mexico a competitor put a hit out on him, he also talked about getting a gun (highly illegal in Costa Rica). Why the *** would you tell a client this information? What purpose does it serve? By the end of my stay at Ibeginagain I came to the conclusion that Lex is just a drug dealer posing as a medicine man. It's too bad that he gets good medicine, he does not respect it.
Don't make the same mistake that I made and go to Ibeginagain Ibogaine treatment center, it may be called Envision Recovery now, but either way do not have Lex Kogan provide your Ibogaine treatment. Ibogaine is an amazing medicine, so amazing that even with the terrible experience with the provider and his clinic I still feel renewed. It's as though someone has hit a reset button in my brain, possibilities are all I see. "Fear is the mind-killer" is one of my mantras now. Making new healthy habits has become easier than falling back into old bad habits. Please if you seek help with addiction or other self destructive habits seek out this medicine. One important thing that Lex did not mention to me was aftercare. I was in touch with many providers before I decided to go with Lex, it was sort of a shot gun decision, but they all said aftercare is a must. So I was referred to a therapist who has taken Ibogaine himself and works with many patients that have taken the medicine. I have been talking to him via phone and it has been so helpful.
So again please avoid Lex Kogan and the I begin again Ibogaine treatment center (possibly Envision recovery now). I am not doing this to tarnish or defame, I am doing this because I don't think it is a safe place and it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt there. Also there are other providers out there, each has a different model, some are very prominent in the Ibogaine culture and have many positive reviews. Just do research and then do some more research.
