A New Model

While the world is focused on ibogaine treatment as the answer to interrupting addiction, we have discovered a deeper truth. With natural ibogaine treatment in a new model, alongside 28+ days of intensive integrative education in the rainforest, you won’t just interrupt your addiction, you will remember your power.

Our plant medicine for addiction program is all natural and radically different from the rest.

Explore how we are advancing ibogaine safety

Spiritual guides take you through the ibogaine experience, the way this medicine has always been given. We use cumulative dosing: small doses that build gradually, so your body gets used to ibogaine instead of taking it as one big stress on the heart. Medical support is part of every step.

And the work starts before your first dose. A natural detox and daily exercise build up your body and your heart, so you meet the medicine stronger.

Special pricing

The full 28-day program for $14,900.

Book before January 1, 2027 and four weeks in Paraty costs $14,900, down from our normal $25,000. That’s less than many centers in Mexico charge for a 10-day stay, and you get nearly three times the preparation, integration, and time in nature.

We take six to eight students a month, so places are limited.

Nekawa Ibogaine Treatment Centers are the future of addiction treatment and mental healthcare.

Most addiction treatment programs just manage symptoms, and most ibogaine treatment centers provide little to no integration. Ibogaine and ayahuasca interrupt addiction at its neurological and spiritual roots and provide you an opportunity, if you take the time for integration and education, to create a new life, reborn and free of addiction.

Learn More About Ibogaine

Substance dependencies

Alcohol, cocaine, crack, and methamphetamine all hijack the same dopamine reward pathways. Ibogaine resets those pathways and clears the craving cycle without replacement therapy.

Learn more

Psychiatric medications

Benzodiazepines, SSRIs, ADHD stimulants, and sleep medications can create deep neurological dependencies that are notoriously hard to resolve. Ibogaine helps reset the receptor systems pharmaceuticals have dysregulated.

Behavioral dependencies

No substance, same addiction. Gambling, sex and porn, food, and the feed are different products running on one reward loop.

The education is crucial. If you aren’t educated with new beliefs, philosophy, and spiritual understandings, then when you work with ibogaine or ayahuasca, you won’t actually understand what you need to do with your life. Yes, your brain can change, but what will it change into?

Our 28-day program is unique because we use Ibogaine and plant medicine to assist a complete philosophical and spiritual reframing. You will never see yourself the same again, and you will construct an identity built out of choice, possibility, and empowerment.

Addiction isn’t the end of your story. It’s the beginning.

Our Ibogaine Treatment Center Testimonials

  • Google

    I spent 90 days at Nakawa, and I can genuinely say the experience was life-changing. From the food to the staff to the incredible property, everything about the place made me feel comfortable and safe enough to really do the work I came there to do.

    The property itself is absolutely beautiful. With acres and acres of land and plenty of hiking trails, I was able to get outside and connect with nature every single day, which became a big part of my experience.

    What I appreciated most was having the time, space, and support to really focus on myself. I was able to build new habits, work through some things, and start creating a foundation for the life I've wanted to live for a long time.

    I'm incredibly grateful for my time at Nakawa and for the people who made the experience what it was.

    I researched many different centers prior to choosing Nekawa Ibogaine. I chose to work in Brazil because of its legality and long-standing support of the treatment, and I chose to work with Nekawa because a center is only as good as its leader and its team. Charles remained true to his word from our first conversation, to our final parting. Trust in the man led to trust in the process.

Long-term success story

“For years, I struggled to come to terms with the death of my father and to break free from the cycle of substance use. Under Charles and Tatiana’s guidance, I was finally able to confront those painful emotions and begin to release them. Their presence, wisdom, and understanding made all the difference. I’m deeply grateful — this experience helped me reconnect with life in a way I hadn’t thought possible.”

The Nekawa Path

Addiction treatment and ibogaine treatment are still so focused on the brain as being broken or diseased. They see addiction as a mechanical problem. Here at Nekawa, we understand what Bill W. taught, and we understand what indigenous people see, which is that desire, craving, and addiction are all related to spiritual disconnection.

Our program combines traditional plant medicine practices with a range of holistic and evidence-based supportive therapies that restore your body, mind, and spirit. It’s much more than just detox.

Charles Johnston and Tatiana Aya Tupinambá, founders of Nekawa

Charles D Johnston & Tatiana Aya Tupinambá

Charles and Tatiana founded Nekawa as a wellness education program rooted in their own life experiences. Charles overcame a multi-year intravenous opiate addiction through ibogaine treatment in 2013, an experience that set the course of his life.

Tatiana, an indigenous woman from the Tupinambá Tribe of Northern Brazil, found her way through a traumatic childhood and alcohol dependency with ayahuasca, and has guided plant medicine ceremonies since 2012. Charles and Tatiana lead Nekawa as a program; medical care is provided by licensed medical professionals under their own licenses.

Together, they are devoted to nature and to building a place where science, indigenous wisdom, and the healing power of the natural world come together to give people a genuine second chance at life.
