Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga plant, native to Central West Africa. It has gained international recognition for its potential to interrupt the cycle of addiction and provide profound psychological insights.
At Baja Rehab, our medical team has exceptional expertise not only in administering Ibogaine, but—most importantly—in providing the critical treatment process that must follow the Ibogaine experience.
Baja Rehab Ibogaine works exclusively with individuals who genuinely desire sobriety and a shift in mindset. We do not believe Ibogaine is a quick fix. However, we know without a doubt that it is a powerful therapeutic tool when combined with proper medical care, integration, and ongoing support.
What is Ibogaine?
Ibogaine is a plant-based, natural medicine originating from Africa that has shown promising effectiveness in treating addiction. Its primary use in a clinical setting is for detoxification and interruption of opioid dependence, but it is also studied for its efficacy in treating addiction to stimulants, alcohol, and other substances.
Mechanism of Action
Ibogaine works on multiple neurotransmitter systems, including the opioid, serotonin, and dopamine pathways. By temporarily resetting these systems, it can significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms and minimize cravings that are often the biggest hurdle in early recovery.
The Psycho-Spiritual Experience
Treatment typically involves a guided, intensive psychoactive experience (often called “The Journey” or “Flood Dose”) that can last 12-36 hours. This experience is often described as a life review, allowing the individual to process past trauma and gain new perspective on their addictive behaviors.
The Potential Benefits of Ibogaine
For individuals struggling with chronic addiction, Ibogaine treatment offers several compelling advantages:
Rapid Detoxification
It can often alleviate severe opioid withdrawal symptoms within hours, dramatically shortening the physical detox process compared to traditional methods.
Reduced
Cravings
Many individuals report a significant, sometimes immediate, reduction in cravings for their substance of choice.
Psychological Insight
The introspective experience can address the underlying emotional and psychological roots of addiction, facilitating a deeper and more sustainable recovery.
Non
Addictive
Ibogaine itself is not considered an addictive substance.
Important Safety Information
Ibogaine is a powerful substance that carries significant risks, particularly for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. It must be administered only in a medical setting with continuous cardiovascular monitoring and the presence of trained medical staff. A comprehensive medical screening (including a full EKG) is an essential prerequisite for treatment.

This option is recommended for individuals who feel stuck, depressed, or are experiencing PTSD, as well as those with mild substance use challenges.
Option 2: Ibogaine Experience + 90-Day Residential Program
This option includes everything listed in Option 1, with the addition of extended care:
