In this episode, Amanda Siebert is joined by two previous guests, Beond co-founder Talia Eisenberg and VP of clinical operations, Vianey “Nurse V” Perez, for a deep dive on Beond’s intake process, including details on medical screening, personalized care, and potential challenges or red flags. 

What we discuss:

• The length of time the intake process takes: if I were to inquire tomorrow, what’s the earliest I could be in treatment?

• How involved the medical team is in the intake process

• What makes someone a good candidate for ibogaine treatment? 

• What if someone has failed at other types of treatment?

• Potential red-flags

• Challenges that clients might face while in treatment

• Do people ever have to leave treatment? What’s the protocol?

Why it’s important: 

Deciding to pursue treatment with a psychedelic drug as powerful and potent as ibogaine can come with a hefty side of anxiety. The goal in creating this episode was to provide listeners with a resource that might help quell some of that stress.
