Ibogaine is a naturally occurring medication obtained from the root bark of the shrub Tabernanthe Iboga. This shrub grows in Gabon and other Central West African countries. The ibogaine root bark has been used in these countries for hundreds to thousands of years during the ritualistic ceremonies of the Bwiti religion. Ibogaine displays anti-addictive properties, interrupting the symptoms of the drug withdrawal syndrome and eliminating drug craving   – allowing an addict to detoxify with no withdrawel symptoms. Ibogaine is an addiction interruptor that also resets the brain’s neurotransmitters functions to a pre-addictive state. Ibogaine has been, and is now currently again being, studied at the University of Miami in an FDA approved Phase 1 clinical trial.

Our treatment is all-inclusive, and your stay at our facility will typically last for one week (7 days). Treatment is individualized according to the level of opioid tolerance. In cases where a patient is heavily dependent upon narcotic analgesics such as Oxycontin, methadone, or heroin; this may affect treatment-duration and make a slightly-longer stay necessary. We have a customized Ibogaine program individualized to each person’s specific needs.

People with a history of heart attacks or irregular heart rhythms are not usually good candidates for an ibogaine session. Today, almost all reputable providers as well as Baja Ibogaine Center require an electrocardiogram (EKG) before giving a treatment. Fortunately, this problem affects only a small number of people. There is a very small risk, less than any medical treatment to an ibogaine session. The best policy is to be completely honest with your provider and follow his/her instructions exactly. Your provider knows the risks and his/her job is to keep you safe; if you cooperate fully, then you will experience no problems whatsoever

Yes, Ibogaine has appeared in many prestigious publications and medical journals. Clinical trials and extensive research have been conducted at Universities and Independant Research Facilities around the world with excellent results. You cannot get Ibogaine in the USA, and you should not attempt using it except in a qualified Ibogaine Clinic.

Ibogaine was made illegal when it was classified in the same Schedule I category as LSD, psilocybin and mescaline in the 1960′s. Despite promising results during clinical trials on humans in the US, there has not been nearly enough of the funding needed to get ibogaine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pharmaceutical companies are not interested in bringing it to the market due to the lack of monetary reward (profits) from ibogaine’s sale or distribution. The single administration modality of ibogaine does not create a prospect for adequate and continuous revenue for pharmaceutical companies compared with methadone maintenance programs.

No. While Ibogaine can create fascinating experiences, it provides little or no bodily pleasure like cocaine or heroin. It contributes to a reintegration of the brain and as such helps to interrupt addiction rather than causing another addiction.
