About Tabula Rasa Retreat

Tabula Rasa Retreat is a private, medically supervised ibogaine treatment retreat on a nine-acre property in the Alentejo countryside of Portugal, in the district of Beja, for individuals dependent on opioids, alcohol, cocaine and other substances, as well as those with depression, anxiety, PTSD or trauma. The standard stay runs six days and five nights at €6,621.60 including VAT.

Founded by Álvaro de Ferranti and Jade Ziani de Ferranti, the retreat describes itself as not a rehab. Guests arrive on a Monday after completing an online application, a free consultation call and medical clearance based on blood work, liver function tests and an ECG. A test dose precedes the ibogaine flood dose on day two, taken under continuous ECG monitoring with a defibrillator on hand, a nurse present at all times and medical staff holding ACLS certification from the American Heart Association. The rest of the week brings holotropic breathwork, a temazcal sweat lodge, counselling, Kundalini yoga, massage, meditation, cold exposure and an optional 5-MeO-DMT session before departure on Saturday. A longer detox programme of up to 12 to 14 days serves those on methadone or Subutex, and free weekly online meetings plus optional check-ins follow. Clients come mainly from the UK, Northern Europe, the UAE and the USA, and airport collection is included.

Substances treated include heroin, fentanyl, methadone, alcohol, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine and spice.

Ibogaine is given as a test dose followed by a flood dose under 24/7 medical supervision, with magnesium and potassium supplementation, continuous ECG monitoring and an onboard defibrillator, following the GITA and ICEERS ibogaine safety protocols. Around the medicine sit cognitive-behavioural work, one-to-one counselling, group and integration therapy, somatic practices, emotional resilience coaching, holotropic breathwork, a temazcal sweat lodge, Kundalini yoga, massage and bodywork, reiki, gong baths, drumming circles, equine-assisted therapy, cold exposure, personal training and nutrition advice. Behavioural and process addictions including gambling are addressed, as are complex trauma, anhedonia, executive burnout, Parkinson’s disease and mild traumatic brain injury. Before arrival, a full medical history, blood work, liver function tests and an ECG are required and reviewed by a doctor; applicants receive a reply within 24 to 48 hours.

How Much Does Treatment at Tabula Rasa Retreat Cost?

Treatment at Tabula Rasa Retreat costs €6,621.60 for the standard six-day, five-night ibogaine programme, including VAT, and the retreat states that its prices start at €6,500 including VAT. The programme is self-pay, with airport collection and drop-off, ensuite boutique-style accommodation and locally sourced meals included in the price.

The longer detox programme of up to 12 to 14 days for methadone or Subutex is priced separately, so ask for a quote if long-acting opioids are involved. Pre-arrival blood work, liver function tests and an ECG are arranged by the client before travel and are not stated as part of the fee, and the optional 5-MeO-DMT session should be clarified at the consultation call. No insurance, SNS or State funding applies to an ibogaine retreat, and payment is made after medical clearance and before travel planning. Free weekly online meetings continue after departure at no cost.

Tabula Rasa Retreat Reviews

Tabula Rasa Retreat is spoken of warmly in reviews from around the web, including Google, with former guests describing the Alentejo setting, the attentive nursing team and a sense of a fresh start; the retreat also publishes client stories on its own site. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Tabula Rasa, and anyone who has stayed is welcome to share theirs.

Because ibogaine is an unconventional treatment and the retreat says plainly that it is not a rehab, the most useful accounts describe the medical preparation, how the flood dose and the days that followed felt, and whether the integration work and weekly online meetings sustained the change at home. Experiences of the longer opioid detox would be especially valuable to those on methadone or Subutex.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointing experience – I would not recommend IBI Roots in Spain. I was referred to IBI Roots by Tabula Rasa Center because they were fully booked until April. I was explicitly told that the program at IBI… Roots would be roughly equivalent to the one offered at Tabula Rasa. Unfortunately, my experience was nowhere near what I had been led to expect. I have extensive personal experience with Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT and have attended various retreats in Portugal, Spain, and Peru. Compared with those experiences, this retreat was by far the most disappointing. I found the program extremely disappointing, with virtually no structure, no meaningful program, and a complete lack of passion, professionalism, and genuine care. I expected a serious, well-organized retreat, but instead felt that the experience was poorly managed and that money seemed to be the main priority. I felt seriously misled by the recommendation and the promises made about the program. The reality was completely different from what I had been told, and I left feeling ripped off and deeply disappointed. At around ten times the cost of many other retreats I have attended, the value was nowhere near what I expected. When I asked whether I would receive my money back, I was told no. The 1,500 EURO deposit was not refunded to me. If you are looking for a professional, structured, and genuinely caring retreat experience, I would strongly advise you to do your research before booking with IBI Roots. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this place. For me, this was a deeply disappointing experience and absolutely not what I paid for.

I would NEVER recommend Tabula Rasa...!! Morally I feel I have to relate this experience at Tabula Rasa=A beloved person of mine went in for an addiction recovery and we where told they had a "Medical Team" (also… mentioned in the web) but only nurses are there. Like a nurse myself, we not allowed to prescribe, so when is some delicate issue or necessary intervention is needed. it is just not possible. A very precarious state was not attended properly. This is called legally "Omisión de Asistencia Médica"= Failure to assist medically. If you happen to have a look at "The Team" in the web you clearly see is no doctor..! I was nearly catching an airplane to go to pick up my boy friend because he was in a extreme worrying state, could not even be able to talk on the phone. He needed help in the nigth time, no one was there (or sleeping). he had to leave how he could calling a taxi. Also been told he could go there having as much of "stuff" he wanted, terrible advise for an addict..! Back home took a time to recover like any post-traumatic experience. Honestly...If one spends his savings and something like this happens is all a quite big deal in one´s life..!!
