Patient Before and After’s
A picture is worth a thousand words
Along with our patients not only experiencing amazing success with ibogaine treatment, here’s a glimpse at some of the incredible physical changes a number of our patients experienced in just a matter of days at the POI Institute.

After years of struggling with addiction and numerous failed attempts to get clean, 34-year-old Hailey realized she was losing her battle with heroin. She contacted the POI Institute and within days was on a plane to Cabo for Ibogaine detox treatment. Hailey is not only free from years of addiction but feels better than she has in over 10 years. Eight days after her treatment, Hailey’s physical transformation shown here in her before and after photographs may be the most dramatic, we have ever seen.
With the encouragement of POI, Hailey decided it was not in her best interest to immediately return home to Maryland after her treatment. Hailey left POI and flew directly to her mom’s in Florida where she is currently in a 12-step program, working on herself and gathering some essential life tools while getting more “clean time” under her belt to support her sobriety. Way to go Hailey!

After numerous failed attempts to get help, Jay came to The POI Institute. “My ibogaine experience at the POI institute was the most profound experience of my life! In just days, I was able to settle 10 years’ worth of trauma. Ibogaine allowed me to make amends with past experiences, say goodbye to friends I lost and cope with life in a healthier way.”




Chris came to POI after years of battling between Heroin and Suboxone. Take a look at Chris’ dramatic physical transformation after his 10-day stay at POI.
With the help and encouragement of The POI Institute, Chris entered a 28- day treatment center to continue his aftercare, work on himself and whatever underlying issues that were uncovered during his Ibogaine journey that may have contributed and/or been the catalyst that lead to his years of addiction.







Alcohol had taken a serious toll on Kevin’s health.
Just 10 days after being treated at the POI institute, Kevin left POI, not only 10 days sober, but also 10 days free of years of smoking marijuana and cigarettes!
Every individual is unique and so are there circumstances. After Kevin’s ibogaine treatment, while still in our care, POI staff worked together with Kevin and his family to find an aftercare program where Kevin could receive professional help to work through some of the underlying issues that came up during his ibogaine treatment, issues that indeed may have been the catalyst for his years of substance abuse. We are so happy Kevin took the steps needed to honor his ibogaine experience and support and secure his sobriety.
Congratulations Kevin! We are so proud of you. ?

“My ibogaine journey was amazing and the benefits of my treatment, well lets just say… incredible! I came to POI to detox from alcohol and a 4 year dependency on Ativan and left POI not only sober and off of Ativan, but free from PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks and claustrophobia! I am happier and healthier than I have been in years and truly on the ride of my life.”
