Is ibogaine legal in the US, and where can you get treatment?

No. Ibogaine is a Schedule I drug under US federal law and cannot be legally used or prescribed outside approved research. In June 2025 Texas passed SB 2308, which funds FDA clinical trials of ibogaine. That law creates research, not a clinic you can book.

Most people who seek it travel abroad, often to Mexico, where news reports describe treatment as legal or unregulated. Unregulated means no government checks the clinic for you. In New Zealand ibogaine has been a prescription-only, unapproved medicine since 2010.

Clinics we list: see Ambio Life Sciences (Baja California, Mexico), or browse all providers.

Clinics set their own prices, usually as a multi-day package. We only publish prices a provider reports to us, on What it costs. Ask any clinic for the full price in writing, what it includes (medical tests, monitoring, lodging, aftercare) and its refund policy.

Ibogaine has been linked to sudden cardiac death. A safe clinic will require a medical history and ECG before treatment, monitor your heart throughout, and have emergency care available. Read our ibogaine guide and safety checklist.

Use our printable questions to ask a provider. Ask who the doctor is, what heart screening and monitoring they use, the nearest hospital, and what happens if you're found ineligible after paying.
