Collaborate With Us on Ibogaine Research
For universities, research institutes, nonprofits and independent investigators working on ibogaine research. If your work could benefit from an experienced, medically supervised treatment center, we’d like to hear from you.
Better Research Means Better Care
Ibogaine has drawn growing interest from researchers, policymakers and the public, yet much of what’s known still comes from small observational studies. At Iboga Treatment Center, we believe careful, independent research is how the field earns trust and how treatment becomes safer for everyone who seeks it.
We’re open to conversations with researchers and organizations who share that goal, whatever stage your project is at.
An Experienced, Medically Supervised Setting
Our center in Ensenada, Mexico has treated more than 500 guests since 2018. Each guest completes medical screening before treatment, and two or more doctors are present for each ibogaine session, with heart monitoring throughout. Our programs are longer than most, built around stabilization before ibogaine and time to recover afterward, with four weeks our most recommended stay.
You can read more about how ibogaine works and how we approach safety.
Topics We’d Welcome Discussing
We’re glad to explore collaboration across a range of areas, including:
- Opioid use disorder, including fentanyl, methadone and Suboxone dependence
- 7-OH and kratom dependence
- Alcohol and stimulant use
- Depression, anxiety and PTSD
- Cardiac safety and medical screening practices
- Longer treatment stays, integration and aftercare
If your interest falls outside this list, reach out anyway.
Guest Privacy Comes First
The people who trust us with their care come first in any collaboration. Any work involving guests would require their informed consent, protection of their privacy, and appropriate ethics review. We’re happy to discuss how those safeguards would apply to your project from the first conversation.
Research Partnerships: Common Questions
A few things researchers and organizations often ask us first.
Who can reach out about a research collaboration?
Academic researchers, research institutes, hospitals, nonprofits, foundations and independent investigators are all welcome to contact us.
What should I include in my first message?
A short description of your project or idea, your institution or organization, and the best way to reach you. Early ideas are welcome; nothing needs to be finalized.
How do you protect guest privacy?
Any collaboration involving guests would depend on their informed consent, privacy protections and appropriate ethics review. We discuss those safeguards at the start of every conversation.
Is ibogaine treatment legal where you operate?
Yes. Ibogaine is legal in Mexico, where our center is located. In the US it’s still classified as Schedule I, and our overview of ibogaine’s legal status in the US covers the latest changes.
