Iboga Wellness Institute specializes in helping people who’ve tried everything else without success. Based on the vibrant island of Cozumel, they offer ibogaine therapy for up to four clients at a time, combining breakthrough science with American medical standards trusted by clients worldwide to create real, lasting change—not just temporary relief. Whether clients are struggling with addiction, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, or neurological conditions, they offer a different path forward.

Achieve Breakthrough in Carefully Controlled Sessions

Each client’s treatment protocol is tailored to their condition, history, goals, and medical needs. Throughout their 7-, 10, or 14-day program, clients receive ibogaine in a medically supervised, peaceful setting, lying comfortably with an eye mask and curated music designed to guide deep therapeutic work. A U.S.-trained facilitator remains present to support the client through insights and difficult moments as they emerge, with immediate access to advanced medical support if needed. Care is complemented by daily therapeutic massage, yoga, meditation, sound healing, art therapy, and nutritional guidance.

Retreat in Curated Comfort & Privacy

Iboga Wellness Institute is a legitimate medical facility located in an upscale neighborhood just a few blocks from the Caribbean Sea, offering a calm, accessible setting for international travel. The setting features modern, elegant interiors filled with natural light, and clients stay in private rooms with king-size beds. Meals are crafted onsite by expert chefs and nutritionists. The setting also includes a pool and lounge area, along with optional private beach outings and boat trips.

Receive Ongoing Care as Long as Needed

Iboga Wellness Institute builds continuity into every program through a detailed, personalized aftercare plan and 24/7 access to ongoing support. Clients continue healing with virtual therapy for three to six months, optional peer connection with fellow graduates, and long-term coaching as needed.

Restore Hope After Mental Darkness
Restore Hope After Mental Darkness
Iboga Wellness Institute addresses depression and trauma at the root cause—resetting dysregulated neural pathways, reducing neuroinflammation, and restoring the brain’s natural capacity for joy and connection. Their mental health program often sees life-changing results for clients with PTSD (especially combat veterans), treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma that traditional therapy hasn’t been able to heal.
Disrupt Addiction at the Neurological Level
Disrupt Addiction at the Neurological Level
Iboga Wellness Institute’s detoxification program helps clients break free from years of physical and psychological dependence in a matter of days. Whereas traditional detox treats symptoms while leaving the underlying neurological damage untouched, ibogaine therapy serves as a neurological reset that alleviates withdrawal at the cellular level and restores the brain’s natural reward pathways.
