What We Do
We are a treatment advisory for psychedelic-assisted therapy — ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT above all. We help people and families understand their options, we evaluate providers against our published standard, and when a fit is genuine we introduce you and stay in your corner.
We spent years watching traditional care fall short.
Psychedelic Connect grew out of years spent inside behavioral healthcare. Over those years we watched the same thing happen again and again: people did everything right — talk therapy, residential programs, outpatient care, medication — and the conventional playbook still failed them.
Then we saw something different. People who had run out of options were finding real, lasting change through psychedelic-assisted therapy. We experienced these treatments ourselves, as did people we love. That is why we do this.
Advisory, education, provider vetting — and an honest introduction.
We are not a clinic and we do not run a directory. Three things, done carefully.
Understand your options
A confidential conversation about your situation, what has already been tried, and whether psychedelic-assisted therapy is worth considering — including when it is not.
Evaluate providers against the standard
We identify the strongest providers, measure them against our ten-dimension standard, and, wherever we can, see the facility ourselves before we recommend it. Approval is not permanent.
Introduce, then advocate
When the fit is genuine we make a warm introduction, help you prepare, and stay your advocate before, during and after treatment.
People who have done everything right, and still need another way.
Most of the people who reach us have already tried the conventional path. Many are helping someone they love.

Parents, partners and siblings trying to help someone who is struggling.How the advisory journey works.
One path, five stations. Most people complete it in under a week; if you are still researching, there is no timeline pressure.
You reach out
Call, text or use the intake form. We respond the same day. The first conversation is about understanding your situation — no sales script.
Screening review
We review your history for contraindications and for medications that interact with the treatment you are considering. If a provider will need recent labs or an EKG, we tell you exactly what to get.
Two or three providers
We recommend two or three vetted providers that fit your condition, medical profile, budget and timeline, and explain the reasoning. You choose. Sometimes the honest answer is "not yet".
Introduction and preparation
We connect you directly with the provider you choose and guide the weeks before treatment: any taper the provider requires, what to bring, what to expect emotionally.
After you return
We follow up when you are home, share integration resources and stay available in the weeks that follow.
What people can expect.
No pressure and no obligation — and straight answers to the questions people ask most.
A private conversation
Nothing is shared with family, employers or anyone else unless you ask us to.
Options, including "no"
We will tell you when a treatment is not right for you, and discuss alternatives.
About 3–7 days
From first conversation to a confirmed provider, depending on medical documentation.
Costs vary
By treatment, length of stay and facility. We require providers to disclose expected costs, inclusions and exclusions upfront. See the ibogaine cost guide.
How long does the advisory process take?
Most people go from a first conversation to a confirmed provider in about 3–7 days. The main variable is how quickly you can obtain any medical documentation the provider asks for, such as recent labs or an EKG. If you are still researching, there is no timeline pressure.
Do I have to use one of the providers you recommend?
No. Our job is to give you an honest assessment and our best recommendation. If you want to pursue a provider outside our network, we will tell you what questions to ask and what red flags to look for.
Can you help if I'm on buprenorphine or methadone?
Yes — it is one of the most common situations we work with. The providers we recommend require a clinically supervised transition off these medications before treatment, on a protocol set by their own medical team. We explain what that involves and introduce you only to providers experienced with it.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Nothing you share with us is disclosed to family members, employers or any third party without your explicit request. A provider receives only the information needed to prepare for your arrival.
For what the treatment itself involves — timelines, the days at the clinic, recovery — see the guide for the medicine you are considering: ibogaine · 5-MeO-DMT.
Ten dimensions, checked one by one.
Every provider we recommend is measured against the Provider Standard™ — and wherever we can, we go and see for ourselves. A standard only means something if it turns providers away; ours does.

Medical screening and safety boundaries
A proper assessment before anyone is accepted for treatment is dimension two of the standard. We review your history and medications, and tell you what documentation a provider will need.
- We do not practice medicine — we do not diagnose, prescribe, dose or treat.
- We do not supply or source any substance.
- We never promise an outcome, and we never pressure anyone.
Where we stand
We do not own or operate any treatment facility, and no provider can buy a place on our list. Whether a provider is compensated has no bearing on whether it passes the standard or on which provider we believe fits your situation.
- A provider cannot pay its way onto our list.
- We tell you when a treatment is not right for you.
- How we are compensated is disclosed in full, in writing.
Before, during and after treatment.
Preparation
Any taper the provider requires, travel, what to bring — and the emotional side of getting ready.
A line to us
You and your family can reach us while you are away. The provider handles your care; we make sure you are heard.
Integration
We check in when you are home and stay available in the weeks that follow, when integration support matters most.
Who reviews the clinical information on this site?
Our clinical content is reviewed by Christopher Diviaio, LCSW. Claims about efficacy, risk and treatment process are cited to their sources, with the limitation stated alongside the finding rather than buried beneath it.
Where the evidence is weak, we say it is weak. Where a study was open-label with no placebo arm, we say so. Where a state law is being described in the press as something it is not, we read the statute and report what it says. We would rather be the source you can check than the one that sounds most confident.

An honest conversation about where you and your family are, and the paths actually worth considering — from people who have done the work and been there themselves.
