TITLE
Understanding the Current State of the Global Iboga and Ibogaine Treatment Community.

ABSTRACT
Ibogaine treatment has proven to be an exceptional tool for working with substance use and other mental health issues, but the worldwide treatment community faces many hurdles in terms safety, ethics, training, and conservation. Juliana will be discussing these issues through the lens of her own near-death ibogaine treatment in 2011 and her experiences working in the field since. She will cover a history of the treatment community, their current shortcomings and strengths, clinical safety issues, reciprocity, and how to address these areas moving forward. Also covered will be ways for people to decipher how to find safe clinics and practitioners as well as an overview of what the ideal integration support can look like afterwards.
