Ibogaine Treatment
Ibogaine Treatment in Alberta
Medically supervised ibogaine treatment for addiction, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression. Stanford research: PTSD down 88%, depression down 87%. Serving participants from Alberta.
The Medicine
What Is Ibogaine Treatment?
Ibogaine is the primary active alkaloid of the iboga root bark. In therapeutic contexts, it is administered for the treatment of opioid addiction, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression — conditions that have often not responded to conventional approaches.
Ibogaine engages multiple neurological systems simultaneously — dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and NMDA receptors — producing a neurological reset that is qualitatively different from any single-mechanism compound. After the active experience, it converts to noribogaine, which remains biologically active for weeks to months.
The 2023 Stanford study in Nature Medicine examined ibogaine treatment in special operations veterans with severe PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. At one month post-treatment: PTSD symptoms decreased by 88%, depression by 87%, anxiety by 81%.

State Investment
$50M USD
Texas committed $50 million to clinical ibogaine trials at UTMB, UTHealth Houston, Texas A&M, and Baylor.
Legal Status in Canada
Ibogaine is not scheduled under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. It is not approved for medical use, but it is not explicitly prohibited — a distinct position from the US (Schedule I) or UK (Class A).

Honest Assessment
This work is not for everyone
We tell people when this path is not appropriate for them. This is not a sales tactic. It is how responsible ceremony is practiced.
If you are not an appropriate candidate — because of a cardiac condition, current medications, or a state of acute psychiatric instability — we will tell you directly. We would rather lose a potential participant than facilitate an unsafe ceremony.
Read the FAQCardiac contraindications
QT prolongation, significant arrhythmia, or recent myocardial infarction are absolute contraindications. EKG identifies this before ceremony.
SSRIs and SNRIs
Absolute contraindications. A supervised taper conducted with your physician is required before ceremony is possible. There are no exceptions.
Acute psychiatric crisis
Active suicidal ideation, florid psychosis, or significant instability. The experience amplifies what is present. This is not the moment.
Primarily seeking a pleasant experience
Iboga shows you what you have been avoiding. People who arrive expecting comfort are consistently surprised.
