About Tabula Rasa Retreat

Tabula Rasa Retreat has rapidly positioned itself as a premier European ibogaine clinic. Located in the Alentejan region of Portugal, its clientele is mainly from the United Kingdom, Northern Europe, UAE and the USA. All treatments undergo medical vetting and are medically monitored and supervised by ACLS trained medical staff.

While not a magic cure, Ibogaine can interrupt addictions and offer a pain-free withdrawal from opiates. To support ibogaine treatments, expect holistic therapies such as breathwork, bodywork, massage, meditation, kundalini yoga, reiki, gong baths, drumming circles, equine assisted therapy, personal training and nutrition advice. This is further supported by 1:1 counselling and group therapy by their in-house counsellors. In addition, online aftercare meetings are offered for life.

Opioids

Tabula rasa has saved my life.Before I had properly heard of ibogaine I had resigned myself to either years of my life or my whole life on methadone - after multiple failed conventional rehabs and detoxes my heart and spirit was broken and I felt all hope of getting clean was lost. Then I found out about ibogaine through a friend who had also struggled with opioid dependency. I reached out to Tabula Rasa through my therapist.A month later I arrived - I was incredibly nervous but this was eased as greeted warmly by the incredibly friendly team there. The place itself was beautiful, peaceful and extremely comfortable. I knew at once this was a safe place I could feel at ease. The medical team was incredibly professional immediately catering to my withdrawals so that I was comfortable until my ibogaine treatment the next morning. I knew at once I was in safe hands.The next morning I was to start my ibogaine treatment- every possible precaution was taken to make sure I was safe; each client’s ECG was constantly monitored by nurses stationed outside our rooms. Not once was I worried about my safety due to the clearly highly professional medical team. The ibogaine experience itself brought me some rather interesting and terrifying visions / dreams; it lasted for many hours, at least over a day.But now over 2 weeks later I’m home and I’m completely withdrawal free … I can FEEL everything again that was simply ignored while on methadone... the beauty of nature, smells, sounds. I feel an incredibly strong loving bond with my family I haven’t felt for years. I’m so young and now have a chance to rebuild my life , learn from my past mistakes and look to the future. Of course I must stay vigilant because I know there will be moments of temptation in the future - it would be a mistake to say I’m cured completely - but ibogaine has given me the most amazing opportunity to take life back into my hands and no longer be controlled by chemicals.None of this would have been possible without the fantastic team at Tabula Rasa - I can’t put into words how thankful I am for this. The level of care and precautions taken ensure you are in very safe hands everything is of the highest standards and you will be treated with kindness and dignity.I can’t emphasise enough how much I recommend Tabula Rasa, they have truly saved my life and am sure they have and will save many more.Thank you so much to Alvaro and his wonderful team - I will never forget my amazing time at Tabula Rasa.

Tabula Rasa's medical team evaluated me thoroughly, even advising against a specific treatment due to a slight irregularity in my ECG. While disappointed, their genuine concern, not profit, won me over. They tailored a program that took six days, equal in cost to the shorter treatment I initially sought. This attention to detail is unmatched. My journey has been marred by addiction stemming from a traumatic past. Tabula Rasa understood this complexity, evaluating me emotionally, spiritually, physically, and psychologically. Their expertise is undeniable. Plant medicine therapy is unpredictable; trust in the facilitator is paramount. Tabula Rasa's deep spiritual ethos is palpable, fostering trust and allowing for profound healing. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking genuine transformation. The hospitality, accommodations, and intrinsic motivation driving Tabula Rasa set it apart from every other facility that offers these services, which I have researched extensively. While businesses need to be profitable, Tabula Rasa's primary focus is healing, evident in every aspect of its operation. My gratitude goes out to Alvaro and his team. Their care and support have been invaluable on my journey to self-discovery and to recover what has been lost for over 30 years.

Opioids

When I arrived at Tabula Rasa I was a complete mess. I was drained physically and emotionally from years of opiate addiction. To me, the prospect of getting clean seemed like a far fetched fiction story, and I was terrified to face my physical withdrawal and go through the detox. Much to my surprise, the ibogaine treatment made the detox process so much easier to go through. The withdrawal symptoms were almost non existent. The people working there really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole process. I really liked the location in nature as well. After the detox, I was a bit weak physically but I felt like myself for the first time in a long time and that made me so grateful to be alive. The things I learned while at their facility have stuck with me throughout my recovery and have allowed me to pursue the kind of life I could only dream of before I went there. Im extremely grateful for their help and would highly recommend this treatment to anyone struggling with addiction. I'm not the most financially well off person but I managed to get the money together for one week of treatment and it turned out to be the best investment I've ever made. It was worth every penny!

Jerusalem, Israel

We arrived at Tabula Rasa in the middle of the night in mid July 2018.The process actually started six weeks earlier - correspondence, medical tests, preliminary treatments (pre-sessions by skype), and more. Alvaro, the initiator of this brilliant place and the manager was available and accessible, as was the staff of the therapists and the administrative director - the staff acted in a professional, personal way and full of Integrity.These characteristics of professionalism, sensitivity, flexibility in real situations and commitment accompanied all our days in this place later on.I accompanied my eldest brother to this therapy for the first time after 35 years of heroin addiction, which he expressed a sincere desire heal from. Alvaro made sure my brother arrived physically ready and conditioned the transition to opiates that were easily transfused from blood, and with a thorough examination of the heart, considering his age and physical condition.The reception was warm. The doctor met us at the airport and drove with us to the center.The treatment began on the second day, the treating staff, the doctor, Alvaro, and the two alternative therapists - Andy and Danny - made sure that the process was deep emotionally and spiritually, and medically safe. The excellent team conducted by Alvaro did their best that my brother will best begin the transformation and the path to future healing.We could not ask for more. The last day farewell was difficult - the week was full of moments of friendship, responsibility, sincerity, and courage. Alvaro and the Tabula Rasa family are one of those rare cases where one place and at a certain point in time meets rare forces of wisdom and kindness.It is hard to say thank you in words for something so total and generous that we are given in deeds.These days, we are in contact with Alvaro - the descent into detail, the concern for my brother on the days of the treatment that went beyond what was expected. The reason I accompanied my brother in advance was that he did not speak Portuguese or English - I accompanied him as an interpreter. But after a week there, communication was created beyond the language, and technically, my brother and Alvaro communicate almost daily in recorded and translated messages.It was perhaps the longest week of my life-hardly any sleep. Neither for me nor for the devoted staff...My brother claims that the spirit of God dwells in this special place.And I reinforce and add that hard work and the thoughtful work of those who take part in the place empowers the spirit of God, which is commanded not by chance.We are extremely lucky and grateful.

Alcohol

Anxiety

Benzodiazepines

In February 2025 I went to Tabula Rasa Retreat without much hope in myself. I had tried over the years to quit alcohol and benzodiazepines. It was only with the guidance of the wonderful, professional team, and the miraculous way that ibogaine works that I was able to confront the real traumas behind my drinking and my crippling anxiety and depression. Four months later, and I am still sober! Of course, long-term recovery takes work, and ibogaine can't do it all for you...(meaning that we have to put in the work for ourselves, too), but it really does help with the cravings, teaches you how to heal your relationship with yourself, and teaches you how to be your own best healer. This, together with the medical support and holistic guidance from the team about how to navigate sobriety from a place of empowered choice and presence rather than one of pity and pain have truly changed my life! Thank you Tabula Rasa team! I would recommend you all in a hertbeat to anyone battling addiction, anxiety and depression!
