Ibogaine retreat in Mexico
A retreat is the word people use when they want the treatment and the room to be part of the same thing. Fair. The setting is not decoration here. It is the reason the days after the treatment day work at all.
Retreat, not a ward
Ibogaine takes a day, and then it takes a week of ordinary things: sleep, food, light, walking, quiet, and somebody nearby. A hospital corridor is a hard place to do that. A villa on the sand is an easier one. That is the whole argument for a retreat, and it is why the house matters as much as the protocol.
What it is not: a spa week with a dose in the middle. There is a medical team, screening before travel, and monitoring on the treatment day. The comfort is in service of the medicine, not instead of it.
The villa
A boutique house on the beach in Rosarito, Baja California, about 25 minutes south of the San Diego border. The Pacific is outside the door. Every guest gets a private room. A chef cooks. A maid keeps the house. Nurses are in the villa. A concierge handles the logistics so you are not the one solving them.
One guest and one plan at a time. That is the part most clinics cannot say, and it is the part that changes what the week feels like. Take the virtual tour or read about the villa and the team.
What the stay includes
Screening, from home
Health history, medications, labs, and an EKG near you, reviewed by the medical team on prep calls. You are cleared before you book a flight.
Rides both ways
Met at San Diego International, driven across the border and down the coast, driven back at the end.
Private room
Your own space for the whole stay, not a shared bunk.
Meals
Chef-prepared, in the house, three times a day.
Medical team and monitoring
Nurses in the villa and heart-rhythm monitoring on the treatment day.
90 days of aftercare
Weekly calls after you are home, included in the price.
Massage, yoga, NAD+/IV therapy, and 5-MeO are available in the villa as additions, arranged with your coordinator. They are additions to the protocol, not replacements for it.
Who comes on a retreat like this
Most people come for an opioid or fentanyl dependence, or for Suboxone and methadone, 7-OH, or MGM-15. Others come for alcohol or PTSD. Combat veterans and first responders have their own programs, and there is a guide for family if someone is coming with you.
Retreat or a shorter detox trip
A retreat is the longer version of the same treatment: ten days instead of three or four. The extra days are the settling — the sleep, the second and third nights, the plan for home. If you are treating a long-acting opioid, the stay is planned through day 10 and past it when the medical team wants more. For the Opiate program, each day beyond 12 is $1,200.
What it costs
Pricing from by program. No deposit on any program. There is no insurance path and no VA payment; this is private pay, and the consultation is where families work out how the seat gets funded. Read the full breakdown or get a ballpark from the cost estimator.
