Physician-supervised ibogaine treatment

There is a way through.

We connect people facing opioid dependence with licensed, medically supervised ibogaine clinics — with rigorous screening, honest answers, and a free, confidential consultation.

What is ibogaine

An old medicine, studied anew.

Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound from the root bark of Tabernanthe iboga, a shrub used ceremonially for generations in the Bwiti tradition of West Africa.

What has drawn modern clinical attention is unusual and specific: in observational studies and decades of clinical experience abroad, a single supervised ibogaine session has been reported to sharply reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and craving — offering some people a rare chance to step out of the cycle of dependence and begin recovery work in earnest.

It is not a miracle and not a cure. Ibogaine is not approved by the FDA and remains a Schedule I substance in the United States, so treatment takes place at licensed clinics in countries where it is legal or unscheduled — most commonly Mexico and New Zealand — under physician supervision with cardiac monitoring. Done carelessly, ibogaine is dangerous. Done properly, with real medical screening and monitoring, it has helped many people find a way through when nothing else worked.

How ibogaine.today works

We find the right door, and check it twice.

We are an independent referral service. We don't operate a clinic — we vet them. Our job is to make sure that if you go, you go somewhere safe, and that if you shouldn't go, someone tells you so.

1

Confidential consult

A free, private conversation about your situation, history, and goals. No pressure, no judgment — and no fee to you, ever.

2

Medical screening

Before anything else: EKG, bloodwork, and a full medication review. Ibogaine is not safe for everyone, and screening is where honest providers prove it.

3

Clinic matching

We refer only to licensed, physician-led clinics with continuous cardiac monitoring, emergency protocols, and ACLS-trained staff on site.

4

Preparation & aftercare

Guidance on preparing safely — including medically supervised stabilization if needed — and integration support for the months that follow.

Safety, honestly

The risks are real. So is the screening.

Ibogaine affects the heart's electrical rhythm. It can prolong the QT interval and, in people with cardiac conditions, certain medication interactions, or without proper monitoring, it has caused fatal arrhythmias. Anyone who tells you ibogaine is simply "natural and safe" is not being straight with you.

That is exactly why where and how treatment happens matters more than anything else. Every clinic we refer to treats ibogaine as a serious medical procedure — because it is one.

Some people should not take ibogaine at all. Real screening sometimes means hearing "no" — and a referral service that never says no isn't protecting you.

  • Pre-treatment EKG and cardiac evaluation, reviewed by a physician
  • Comprehensive bloodwork and liver function testing
  • Full medication and substance-interaction review
  • Continuous cardiac monitoring during treatment
  • Physician on site, ACLS-trained staff, and emergency equipment
  • Medically supervised stabilization before dosing where required
  • Structured aftercare and integration planning
The research is moving

From the margins to the laboratory.

For decades, ibogaine lived at the edge of medicine. That is changing quickly — though the evidence is still early, and we present it that way.

Stanford Medicine

A 2024 Stanford study of U.S. special-operations veterans treated with magnesium–ibogaine reported marked improvements in PTSD, depression, and disability from traumatic brain injury — results that helped reopen serious scientific interest.

State-funded trials

In 2025, Texas committed $50 million to public–private ibogaine research aimed at FDA clinical trials — the largest state investment in psychedelic medicine to date, with other states now following.

Federal momentum

Federal policy has begun to engage as well, with executive action directing agencies to advance research into ibogaine for veterans and addiction. Approval, if it comes, is years away — which is why supervised treatment abroad remains the only current path.

Questions, answered plainly

FAQ

Is ibogaine legal?
Not in the United States — it is a Schedule I substance, and we do not refer anyone to treatment on U.S. soil. It is legal or unscheduled in several countries; licensed clinics operate openly in Mexico, and New Zealand permits prescription use. Treatment through our referrals takes place at licensed facilities in jurisdictions where it is lawful.
What does ibogaine treatment help with?
The strongest clinical experience is in interrupting opioid dependence — reducing acute withdrawal and craving after a single supervised session. There is emerging but earlier evidence around alcohol and stimulant use, and active research into PTSD and traumatic brain injury, particularly in veterans. We'll be candid with you about what the evidence does and doesn't support for your situation.
Is it safe?
It carries real cardiac risks and is only appropriate with thorough screening (EKG, bloodwork, medication review) and continuous medical monitoring. Serious complications have occurred almost entirely outside proper medical settings or in people who should have been screened out. Some people are not candidates, and part of our job is telling you if that's the case.
How long does treatment take?
Plan for roughly 7–10 days at the clinic: arrival and medical evaluation, stabilization if needed, the treatment session itself (typically an intensive 24–48 hours), and several days of monitored recovery. Integration work continues after you return home.
What does it cost?
Most reputable, medically supervised programs run in the range of $5,000–$15,000 USD depending on length of stay, medical complexity, and the facility. Our consultation and referral service is free to you. Be wary of programs priced far below this range — proper medical staffing is expensive, and it's not the place to economize.
Will it cure my addiction?
No single treatment cures addiction, and we won't tell you otherwise. What ibogaine can do, for many people, is interrupt physical dependence and open a window — often with dramatically reduced craving — in which recovery work becomes possible. What happens in that window, with aftercare, community, and support, is what determines long-term outcomes.
Who is ibogaine.today?
An independent referral and patient-advocacy service. We are not a medical provider and we don't operate clinics. We research and vet physician-led ibogaine programs, connect you with ones suited to your situation, and stay with you through the process. Our service is free for patients.
