WELCOME TO IBOGA TREATMENT CENTER
Ibogaine Treatment Center — Extended-Stay Programs for Lasting Recovery
Many ibogaine treatment centers offer a single session and discharge you within 48 hours. Iboga Treatment Center was built on the belief that real recovery takes more than that. Our extended-stay ibogaine treatment programs are designed for people who are serious about breaking the cycle of addiction, or healing from depression, anxiety and trauma, for good.
Stays run from one to four weeks, and longer stays and extended aftercare are there for guests who need more time. Every program includes medical screening, ibogaine treatment with doctors present, post-treatment integration, holistic therapies and aftercare planning, all in a private, comfortable setting about two hours south of San Diego.
Medically Supervised
Full medical screening, multiple doctors present during treatment, magnesium to help protect the heart and medical staff on site 24/7.
Holistic Healing
Massage, breathwork, nutrition, and integration therapy alongside your ibogaine treatment.
Integration and Aftercare
Licensed counselors help you turn insight into lasting change, and you leave with a personal aftercare plan.
OUR TREATMENT PATHWAYS
Ibogaine Programs for Recovery, Mental Health, and Personal Growth
Our medically supervised programs are thoughtfully designed around each guest’s physical health, mental and emotional history, previous treatment experiences, personal circumstances, and goals. Whether you are seeking freedom from addiction, support for depression or trauma, or an opportunity for deeper personal growth, our team will help determine the treatment pathway, level of care, and length of stay best suited to your individual needs.
Ibogaine for Addiction
Our extended-stay addiction programs provide the time needed for medical stabilization, individualized ibogaine treatment, physical recovery, therapy, and integration. We support guests facing opioid, fentanyl, alcohol, stimulant, prescription medication, and other substance dependencies.

Iboga Treatment Center in Numbers
Built for Real, Lasting Recovery
With more than 40 years of combined experience and over 500 guests treated, Iboga Treatment Center has built a program designed for real, lasting recovery, not quick fixes.
Our extended-stay programs go beyond a single dose. Comprehensive medical screening, cardiac monitoring, structured integration therapy and aftercare planning are all built in. Located in the mountains of Ensenada, Mexico, about two hours south of San Diego, our clinic offers a peaceful, medically supervised environment where real healing can take hold.
Our Commitment to safety
Your safety comes first. Before treatment begins, every guest gets a full cardiac workup with an EKG, plus a complete blood panel, tests of liver and kidney function and a thorough psychological evaluation.
Several doctors attend every ibogaine session under continuous cardiac monitoring, and magnesium is given with the ibogaine to protect the heart. Medical staff are on site 24/7 for your whole stay. Ibogaine is a serious medicine, and we treat it that way.
Our Programs
Extended Stay Ibogaine Treatment Programs
Our shortest program, offered case by case, and only to guests who are already clean when they arrive. It includes a full medical evaluation, the ibogaine session with more than one doctor present, integration sessions with licensed counselors, meals and a comfortable room.
Extra days to settle in before ibogaine and to heal once it is over. Two or three weeks suits guests who need a short detox, are coming off stimulants or alcohol, or simply want more days for integration, counseling, group support and holistic care.
The length we recommend most often, especially after long-term or daily use. Four weeks leaves room for proper stabilization, the ibogaine session and a real recovery afterward. Guests coming off fentanyl, methadone or Suboxone usually start here, and custom stays beyond four weeks can be arranged. See all of our ibogaine programs.
Continue your recovery at our dedicated aftercare property once your treatment program ends. Aftercare runs from two weeks to three months, and longer can be arranged, with supervised housing, counseling, group support and a structured routine to help you get ready for home. Learn more about ibogaine aftercare.

Choosing a Clinic
What to Look for in an Ibogaine Treatment Center
Not all ibogaine treatment centers are the same, and the differences matter for your safety. Here is what to look for:
- Medical screening before you arrive: an EKG, blood work and a full medical review before you’re accepted.
- Doctors present during treatment: ibogaine affects heart rhythm, so continuous cardiac monitoring and on-site medical staff are essential.
- Enough time: a single dose and a 48-hour discharge leave little room to stabilize and integrate.
- Integration therapy: licensed counselors who help you turn insight into lasting change.
- A real aftercare plan: support after you leave, and more time if you need it.
- Honesty about who isn’t a candidate: a good clinic will tell you if ibogaine isn’t safe for you.
At Iboga Treatment Center, every program includes all six: screening with an EKG and blood work, multiple doctors present during every session with magnesium given to help protect the heart, medical staff on site 24/7, programs of one to four weeks or longer, integration with licensed counselors and a personal aftercare plan.
The Research
Ibogaine Research: What the Studies Show
For decades, people have turned to ibogaine to interrupt opioid dependence, and observational studies have reported reduced withdrawal and drug use after treatment, though without the controlled trials that would settle the question. Research into mental health is newer. In 2024, a Stanford Medicine team reported in Nature Medicine on 30 US Special Operations veterans with traumatic brain injuries, treated in Mexico with ibogaine and magnesium. After one month, PTSD symptoms were down 88% on average, depression 87% and anxiety 81%, and no serious side effects occurred.
These results are promising but early: the study was small, had no placebo group and only included veterans with brain injuries. Texas earmarked $50 million in 2025 for larger clinical trials of ibogaine. Read more about what ibogaine is and how ibogaine works.
What Our Guests Say
I was using fentanyl every day for almost three years. I had tried everything — rehab, Suboxone, cold turkey — nothing stuck. The six-week program at Iboga Treatment Center gave me something no other place could: time. Time to actually heal, not just detox. The ibogaine took away my withdrawals, and the weeks after gave me my mind back. I’m over a year sober now and I never thought I’d be able to say that.

Fentanyl Detox
Rachel
Alcohol Detox
Everyone thinks kratom is harmless until you’re taking it every few hours just to feel normal. Then I switched to 7-OH and it got even worse. I tried a regular detox facility and the withdrawals were brutal — I left after two days. Iboga Treatment Center was completely different. The ibogaine wiped out most of my withdrawals overnight, and the time I spent recovering after gave me clarity I hadn’t felt in years. Six months clean now and I actually feel like myself again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ibogaine Treatment
Is ibogaine treatment safe?
Ibogaine can cause serious heart rhythm problems, so it should never be taken without medical screening and monitoring. At Iboga Treatment Center, screening for every guest covers an EKG, a full blood panel, liver and kidney function and a psychological evaluation. During each session, multiple doctors are present with continuous cardiac monitoring, we give magnesium to help protect the heart, and medical staff are on site 24/7. No treatment is risk-free, and our team will talk through the risks with you before you decide.
What does ibogaine treatment feel like?
The ibogaine experience typically lasts 24 to 36 hours and can include vivid, dreamlike visions, emotional processing and deep reflection. Many guests describe it as reviewing their life with unusual clarity and understanding what has been driving their addiction or emotional pain. Our medical staff and counselors are with you throughout the experience to keep you safe and comfortable.
How long should I stay for treatment?
Programs run from one to four weeks, plus custom longer stays and extended aftercare. Four weeks is what we recommend most often, especially after daily or long-term use. A one-week stay is possible case by case for guests who arrive clean, while guests coming off fentanyl, methadone or Suboxone usually need four weeks or more. We’ll help you choose the right length when you apply, and you can compare options on our programs page.
Will ibogaine eliminate my withdrawals?
For many guests, ibogaine dramatically reduces opioid withdrawal symptoms, though results vary from person to person. After the flood dose, we work with smaller doses of iboga to ease any remaining protracted withdrawals and guide you into a comfortable, reflective state as your body continues to heal.
Is ibogaine legal?
Ibogaine is legal in Mexico, where our clinic is located. In the United States it’s a Schedule I substance that can’t be legally offered as treatment, so we provide it in Mexico.
What is ibogaine and how does it work?
Ibogaine is a psychoactive compound that comes from the root bark of the iboga shrub, which grows in Central Africa. It affects opioid, serotonin and NMDA receptors at the same time, and its metabolite noribogaine keeps working for days afterward. That is why it can ease opioid withdrawal and cravings, and why researchers are now studying it for depression, anxiety and PTSD. Learn more about what ibogaine is and how ibogaine works.
How do I get to your clinic from the United States?
We’re in Ensenada, Baja California, about two hours south of San Diego. Fly into San Diego International Airport and our team will pick you up and drive you to the clinic, handling the border crossing along the way. Admissions will help you plan your trip and tell you what to bring. Coming from somewhere else in the US? See where US residents can get ibogaine treatment, or read about ibogaine treatment for Californians.
Who is not a candidate for ibogaine?
Ibogaine isn’t safe for everyone. People with certain heart conditions, such as long QT syndrome or an irregular heartbeat, a history of stroke or serious heart disease, severe liver or kidney disease, active psychosis or schizophrenia, or who are pregnant or nursing are not candidates. Some medications also need to be tapered first. That’s why every applicant completes medical screening, including an EKG and blood work, before being accepted.
Can I take ibogaine if I'm on other medications?
Some medications interact dangerously with ibogaine, so our medical team reviews everything you take and builds a plan with you. Antidepressants such as SSRIs and MAOIs are tapered under medical supervision, either at our center or before you arrive, and benzodiazepines are reviewed case by case by our doctor. Please don’t stop or change any medication on your own.
Do you treat depression, anxiety and PTSD?
Yes. Alongside addiction treatment, we offer ibogaine programs for depression, anxiety and PTSD, with the same medical screening, integration counseling and aftercare. See ibogaine for mental health to learn more.
What does ibogaine treatment cost at your clinic?
Program pricing depends mainly on the length of your stay. See our ibogaine treatment cost page for details, or call us at (877) 876-4157 for a confidential quote.
What happens after I leave the clinic?
Every guest leaves with a personalized aftercare plan, including referrals to therapists near home. For guests who want continued support, our extended aftercare program provides supervised housing, ongoing therapy and a structured daily routine. Learn more about ibogaine aftercare.
WE DON'T RUSH THE PROCESS. WE GET IT RIGHT.
Real recovery takes time. Whether you’re coming off an opiate, fighting alcohol dependency, or working through depression, our extended-stay programs are built around what your specific case actually requires — not a calendar.
