Ibogaine Clinic
About Ibogaine Clinic
Ibogaine Clinic has focused on ibogaine treatment since 2004, caring for clients with opioid, alcohol, kratom, and stimulant dependence, as well as trauma, depression, anxiety, and executive burnout. Treatment takes place in a private, gated community in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with 24/7 clinical oversight and continuous cardiac monitoring. Licensed doctors, nurses, and therapists pair hospital-grade safety with resort-style comfort.
Begin with Tailored Dosing
Clinicians calculate each dose from thorough medical screenings that review liver and kidney function, electrolytes, heart rhythm, and substance history. The clinic uses pure ibogaine hydrochloride extracted from Tabernanthe iboga root bark, and most treatments last 6–8 hours. Targeted ibogaine boosters ease withdrawal without short-acting opiates until clients are ready for the full dose, with clinical psychotherapy and holistic approaches complementing treatment.
Unwind in Resort-Style Comfort
Every guest receives a private bedroom with a queen-sized bed, daily housekeeping, and 3 chef-prepared meals a day, with menus adjusted for vegan, keto, and recovery-specific diets. Guests unwind by the temperature-controlled pool, in meditation gardens and hammock groves, or in infrared saunas and sound and light therapy rooms. A private business annex with high-speed Wi-Fi lets executives handle urgent work, and private transportation meets guests at the airport.
Head Home with a Roadmap
Before flying home, each client works with a dedicated aftercare coordinator to map out a return plan and find vetted practitioners near home for initial therapy. The clinic treats the first 90 days after treatment as an integration phase and shares a directory of 50 integration practices, from breathwork to journaling. Some clients return 3–6 months later for a Reflection Treatment with a smaller booster dose.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not prescribe it.
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for alcohol use disorder, but does not prescribe it.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
