Built by Veterans

Clear Dawn Advisory was founded by U.S. veterans who experienced the retreat process firsthand.

The organization exists because many people dealing with trauma feel they have run out of options.


Understanding the Audience

Veterans and first responders often face:

  • Repeated trauma exposure
  • Treatment-resistant symptoms
  • Identity disruption
  • Isolation after service

These realities require serious, disciplined approaches.

We do not offer false hope. We offer structure, transparency, and a process that has worked for people who had tried everything else.


Important Considerations

The VA does not currently cover ibogaine treatment.

Participation occurs outside the United States.

Individuals remain responsible for managing their own medical disclosures and benefits considerations.

We encourage thoughtful decision-making regarding professional and military obligations before proceeding.


VA Benefits & Career Considerations

Treatment is confidential.

Clear Dawn Advisory does not report to employers, the VA, or government agencies.

However, individuals should consider how travel and medical treatment may intersect with their professional obligations, particularly for those still on active duty or receiving VA care.

We recommend consulting with a private healthcare provider or attorney before making decisions about medication management or disclosure.


Continuing Care

Many participants continue therapy or support programs after returning home.

Integration and ongoing care are essential.

Returning home is not the end of the process. It is the beginning of sustained change.

We remain available for structured follow-up and accountability conversations after you return.


Who Is This For

This program serves veterans, first responders, and civilians facing:

  • PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
  • Opioid, alcohol, or stimulant dependence
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Treatment-resistant depression or anxiety

The cultural foundation is veteran-led. The program is open to all who qualify medically.


The First Step

Begin with a confidential conversation.

You do not need to decide anything yet. Ask your questions. Understand the process.

Clarity comes before commitment.
