Ibogaine Therapy for
Opioid Addiction

Ibogaine interrupts opioid addiction at its neurological root — dramatically reducing withdrawal, resetting receptor sensitivity and opening the neuroplastic window within which lasting recovery becomes possible. Withdrawal symptoms often near-disappear within 12–24 hours.

Beyond Conventional Recovery

Opioid addiction is a
neurological condition.

Opioids hijack the brain's reward system with a precision that no other class of drugs matches. They bind to mu, kappa and delta opioid receptors throughout the brain and nervous system, rapidly producing physical dependency. The withdrawal that follows cessation is not weakness — it is the neurological consequence of receptor adaptation.

Conventional treatment replaces one opioid with another — managing dependency rather than ending it. Ibogaine does something fundamentally different: it resets opioid receptor sensitivity toward pre-addiction baselines, dramatically shortening and reducing withdrawal while opening the neuroplastic window within which genuine recovery becomes possible.

"After 8 years of opioid addiction and four failed rehabs, ibogaine at Amari reached somewhere nothing else could. I left a fundamentally different person."

Opioids we work with

Heroin & fentanyl

Including both street and pharmaceutical fentanyl. Fentanyl dependency typically requires our 10-day Extended Programme for adequate stabilisation.

Prescription opioids

Oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine and other prescribed opioids that have produced physical dependency.

Methadone & suboxone

Possible with specific tapering protocols prior to treatment. Our team guides you through this process. Typically requires the Extended Programme.

Tramadol & synthetic opioids

Full medication disclosure required. Our team will assess suitability and design the appropriate protocol during intake.

The Mechanism

How ibogaine interrupts
opioid addiction.

Ibogaine's action on opioid addiction works through multiple complementary mechanisms — each contributing to the interruption of dependency.

Opioid receptor normalisation

Ibogaine resets mu, kappa and delta opioid receptor sensitivity toward pre-addiction baselines — explaining why withdrawal symptoms dramatically reduce within 12–24 hours of a flood dose.

Dopamine transporter reset

Opioid addiction dysregulates dopamine signalling, creating the anhedonia and craving of early recovery. Ibogaine modulates dopamine transporters, helping restore natural dopamine baseline.

GDNF upregulation

Ibogaine increases GDNF production — a protein that promotes restoration of dopaminergic neurons in the brain regions most damaged by prolonged opioid use.

The noribogaine window

Ibogaine metabolises to noribogaine — active for days to weeks — sustaining the neuroplasticity window in which cravings are reduced and new habits can be established.

What this means in practice

Individual results vary. Methadone/suboxone require specific tapering protocols.

Continuous ECG monitoring
IV access and electrolytes
Nursing staff present throughout
Booster dose if indicated
03
Recovery & Integration

Nourishment, hydration and rest. Daily integration with your psychologist. Therapeutic massage and somatic therapy for nervous system recovery. Introduction to 30-day aftercare including group calls, 1:1 coaching and the 10 Pillars framework.

Farm-to-table neurological recovery meals
Daily 1:1 integration sessions
Somatic therapy and bodywork
30-day aftercare included
Important — Methadone & Suboxone clients

A specific tapering protocol is required before ibogaine.

Methadone and buprenorphine have long half-lives and complex interactions with ibogaine. A medically supervised tapering protocol is required. This typically extends to our 10-day Extended Programme. Our clinical team will guide you through every step. Please do not attempt to taper without medical supervision.

Am I a Candidate?

Who this programme
is designed for.

Physical dependency on heroin, fentanyl, prescription opioids or synthetic opioids
Medically cleared — no significant cardiac conditions or liver disease
Genuinely motivated to end dependency — ibogaine requires commitment
Willing to follow tapering protocols if on methadone or suboxone
Able to commit to the 30-day aftercare integration process
No active uncontrolled psychosis, mania or severe liver disease
Medical safety — our commitment

Ibogaine's QT prolongation risk demands specialist oversight. Dr. Rogelio Campos Ortega, our board-registered cardiothoracic surgeon, is present for every ibogaine administration.

Pre-treatment cardiac screening

12-lead ECG and blood panel reviewed by Dr. Campos Ortega before treatment proceeds.

Continuous ICU-grade monitoring

ECG telemetry throughout. Vital signs, blood pressure and oxygen saturation monitored by nursing staff.

IV access and electrolytes

Intravenous access maintained throughout. Magnesium, sodium, calcium and potassium actively managed.
