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.

Trust Uncompromising Medical Safety
Trust Uncompromising Medical Safety
Treatment rooms feel like suites but function as intensive care. Each bed connects to continuous cardiac monitoring, so a central station tracks heart rhythm, vital signs, and QT intervals in real time. Defibrillators and emergency oxygen stay on hand, and doctors and nurses certified in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) work on site 24/7.
Release Tension through Movement
Release Tension through Movement
Yoga, acupuncture, massage, and sound healing release physical tension and calm the body as strength returns after treatment. Practitioners with years of experience lead each session on site, from Ayurvedic massage and qigong to sound healing with quartz crystal and ancestral instruments. Guests can also join art and dance sessions.
Explore Insights with Therapists
Explore Insights with Therapists
Psychologists and licensed therapists meet with guests one-on-one both before and after treatment, beginning with preparation grounded in Jungian psychology. Art and dance therapy invite guests to express experiences that words cannot capture, while confidential psychotherapy sessions make space to connect insights from ibogaine treatment to everyday life back home.
Rediscover Joy beyond Treatment
Rediscover Joy beyond Treatment
As strength returns, guests can join guided excursions to Caribbean beaches, swim in sacred cenotes, and explore ancient Mayan ruins such as Tulum and Chichén Itzá. Outings also reach Playa del Carmen’s iconic La Quinta Avenida, so recovery includes time to enjoy the Riviera Maya, not only the clinic itself.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

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.
