Juliana shares her personal experience with Ibogaine to overcome opiate dependency, including the near-death episode that ultimately solidified her purpose to advocate for this life-saving treatment, despite its risks.
Juliana opens up about the complexities of Ibogaine therapy, the challenges within the addiction treatment world, and her mission to improve safety standards for the practice. We also dive into the societal impacts of addiction, the shortcomings of traditional models, and Juliana’s vision for the future of addiction treatment.
She also discusses how the harm reduction model has shifted her perspective on addiction treatment and the necessity of empowerment and client-centered care.
