Patient Safety
How we keep you safe at Transcend Ibogaine Treatment Center
Transcend Clinic was built around patient safety from day one.
Cardiologist on Staff
State-of-the-art EKG monitoring throughout your entire treatment. Because we explicitly acknowledge ibogaine's cardiovascular risks, we watch your heart every second.
Comprehensive Screening
Extensive pre-arrival assessment and onsite full cardiac, hepatic, and psychiatric evaluation before acceptance. Treatment may be ruled out for active conditions of the heart, lungs, or liver.
Individualized Care
Staff adhere strictly to established protocols, safety guidelines, and evidence-based practices to ensure optimal outcomes.
Emergency-Ready Facility
Full crash cart, defibrillator, IV medications, and critical care capability on-site. Our facilities are staffed to promptly identify and manage any potential complications.
⚠️ Important: Ibogaine is not an FDA-approved medication. Treatment may be ruled out for certain health conditions. Your safety is non-negotiable.
Ibogaine resets neural pathways, alleviates withdrawal, and promotes rapid recovery
Each condition requires its own protocol. Our medical team tailors the ibogaine treatment to your specific needs.
Who we support
Different lives.
The same care.
Whether you are exploring care for yourself, supporting someone you love or guiding a referral, there is a place to start. Every person's suitability and treatment plan are assessed individually.
Veterans
You do not have to explain everything at once.
Life after service can bring questions about trauma, substance use and what comes next. Start with a conversation about your needs, the screening process and available support.
First responders
Care for the person behind the uniform.
Some calls stay with you after a shift ends. If work-related trauma or substance use is affecting daily life, you can ask about medical screening, privacy and program options.
Business executives
Room to focus on yourself.
Balancing work while seeking help can feel complicated. Ask about privacy, time away, program options and practical arrangements before deciding on a next step.
Organizations & family support
Supporting someone starts with understanding.
Whether you are a loved one or an organization helping someone explore care, start with clear information about screening, evidence and aftercare. The person considering treatment remains part of the decision.

Serving Patients Across the United States
One Ibogaine Treatment Center for Every U.S. State
Ibogaine is a Schedule I substance under federal law, which means the question isn't different in California than it is in Texas, New York, or anywhere else. Legal, medically supervised ibogaine treatment simply isn't available inside the United States, no matter which state you call home.
That's why patients travel to Transcend Clinic in Cancun, Mexico. Most major U.S. airports have a direct or one stop flight to Cancun in half a day or less. We treat patients from every corner of the country under the same physician led protocol, the same cardiac monitoring, and the same medical standard, regardless of where they started their journey.
Common Questions About Ibogaine Treatment
What patients ask us most
We know you have questions. Here are honest answers.
What is ibogaine?
Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance derived from an African plant called Tabernanthe iboga. In the past, the local tribespeople used its roots for communicating with the spirits. Today, the plant has reached North America, where it is used for its healing properties.
So, what is ibogaine treatment? Many ibogaine clinics have started using the substance with high efficiency for addiction recovery and different mental conditions. Ibogaine reduces cravings and helps address the underlying issues that led to drug abuse.
How does ibogaine work?
Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance that stimulates serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, boosting the level of hormones in a person’s body. Basically, it balances our natural processes, helping us stave off drug cravings.
The substance induces a dream-like state characterized by vivid images and changes to perception. After that, a user will have a brief period of introspection, which gives the person a chance to face the problems in their lives.
Who can benefit from ibogaine treatment at Transcend?
The Transcend treatments are an excellent choice for all clients struggling with alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, and various mental ailments. Ibogaine is also perfect for people who have tried different addiction recovery methods to no avail.
Unlike many other therapies, our approach is tailored to the needs of every client. It is also much shorter than the traditional addiction recovery, as you can finish the entire process in just a few days.
What is Transcend Clinic?
Transcend Clinic is one of the leading ibogaine treatment centers for North American clients. Located in picturesque Cancún, Mexico, it is often visited by people from the US, Canada, and the locals.
Transcend Clinic uses revolutionary ibogaine therapies to tackle addiction, traumatic brain injuries, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and various other mental problems. The clinic uses customized treatments to increase recovery rates and prevent relapse in clients.
Why Transcend Ibogaine Treatment Center?

Whether you are seeking support for addiction, PTSD, Parkinson’s, or a mental health condition, we are committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care.
Why is the ibogaine treatment center in Mexico?
Ibogaine is not FDA-approved in the United States. Our ibogaine treatment center in Cancún, Mexico provides a safe, legal environment for treatment while remaining easily accessible to U.S. clients.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for ibogaine treatment?
We conduct a complete medical evaluation before accepting any patient. This includes cardiac screening, bloodwork, psychiatric assessment, and full medication review.
Confidentiality and Privacy
Our Ibogaine clinic stores electronic medical records following HIPAA, ensuring complete data protection. Furthermore, we follow the applicable national and international regulations that protect clients’ identities. You can enjoy your stay in a hospitable, safe environment without having to worry about potential privacy issues.
What can a patient expect when they come to Transcend ibogaine treatment center?
Once you reach Transcend Clinic, you will be greeted by our welcoming staff. We understand the burden that you’re carrying and will give you all the necessary support to expedite your recovery.
Before using ibogaine, we will perform a complete medical assessment to establish whether or not this is a suitable option for you. Most importantly, our staff is very discreet and will safeguard your identity during and after your stay.
What things should be kept in mind when choosing an ibogaine treatment center?
When choosing an ibogaine treatment center, you should prioritize ibogaine clinics with certified medical professionals. Make sure their staff has experience with addiction recovery and mental ailments. During your stay, you should have complete privacy and medical supervision.
Before starting ibogaine therapy, a medical expert should perform a full health assessment. Following the screening, you should be acquainted with the treatment risks and your rights.
What should I do before coming to Transcend Clinic?
We have a pre-care program that will help you prepare for everything that’s ahead of you. While the treatment itself isn’t that long, there are a few extra steps that will increase the chance of full recovery without relapse. Most importantly, during the pre-care program, we will explain what to expect from the process and how it aligns with your goals.
Besides making an immediate impact, our customized ibogaine therapy is meant to prevent relapse. Transcend Clinic will equip you with all the tools and resources that will ensure your long-lasting well-being.
What should I do after ibogaine treatment at Transcend Clinic?
Our customized ibogaine therapy is meant to give control to a person suffering from an addiction or a mental condition. We will teach you how your attitude and feelings affect your behavior. Once you’re finished with the program, we will help you create a perfect environment to prevent relapse.
Our main goal is to disconnect you from enablers and stressors that led to addiction in the first place. With our tailor-made aftercare plan, you will enjoy long-lasting benefits.
Can I still get ibogaine treatment if I am currently using prescription medications or actively abusing substances?
Our main goal is to assist anyone who needs help. Many of our patients are actively using drugs before visiting our ibogaine clinic, so that doesn’t disqualify them from participating in the ibogaine treatment program. In fact, active users are the ones who need our help the most. Our team will provide all clients with a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can address their innermost issues.
Can I come with my partner/child/friend/person receiving ibogaine treatment?
Friends and family can visit a client during the day, but we won’t provide accommodations to non-patients at the clinic. Furthermore, clients are required to stay on premises for the entire duration of the ibogaine treatment program.
Can I make a reservation on behalf of someone else?
Many of our clients are brought to the clinic by their families and friends, often unbeknownst to them. While we will help anyone seeking assistance, the person must be willing to participate in the addiction program. We will perform a short interview with the potential client to determine if they’re ready for commitment.
How much does ibogaine treatment cost at Transcend?
The cost of ibogaine treatment depends on your medical needs and program length, which our physician confirms during your consultation. Programs are $12,000 to $36,000 per treatment: 7-Day Program $12,000, 10-Day Program $17,000, 14-Day Program $24,000 and 21-Day Program $36,000.
