About Takiwasi
Set in a city in the Amazon mountains, Takiwasi ("The House That Sings), serves clients in recovery at their retreat using traditional Amazonian plant medicine alongside psychotherapy. Their team includes psychologists, occupational therapists, doctors, and healers.
Initial Contact and Admission
Takiwasi takes clients shortly after they apply, but they don’t admit clients for emergencies. They work primarily with male clients 18 to 50 due to their licensure, and they decide on a case-by-case basis whether to admit for alcohol addiction treatment. They admit clients in groups about once a month.
Physical and Mental Detox over Time
Takiwasi' uses a 3-phase approach over 9 to 12 months to help clients detox, recovery, and reintegrate into their family, work, and social routines. The process begins with the injestion of a purifying plant to remove toxins from the body and an Ayahuasca ceremony. Clients interview with a psychologist at 4 times during the first 8 days. At the end of treatment, Takiwasi recommends a food diet and period of sexual abstinence.
