Ibogaine is a naturally-occurring molecule derived from the root bark of the iboga tree and other plants. It is a potent and serious medical psychedelic which has addiction interrupting properties.
-
Ibogaine has a “Prescription Drug List” status in Canada (vs. Schedule 1 in the US) facilitating research and development toward medicalization.
-
Ibogaine targets multiple receptors across multiple sites in the brain and metabolizes into noribogaine, a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor that remains in the body for 1-4 months, associated with elimination of addictive cravings.

What is Ibogaine?
How does it work?
Ibogaine targets multiple receptor sites in the brain when It manages dopamine and serotonin circuits & may stimulate new brain cell growth. This creates an opportunity to change behaviours. Paired with our treatment protocol, Ibogaine alleviates withdrawal symptoms and interrupts the process of active addiction.

Our Mission
Our mission is to redefine the addiction recovery experience, providing those living with addiction the best possible recovery.
