Evidence Calibration

Every condition card carries one of four evidence labels. Here is what each means — visible to every reader, not buried in a tooltip.

Established
Multiple peer-reviewed trials, clinical observations, and registry data — the indication is well-validated.
Strong
Strong observational and small-trial evidence, well-characterized mechanism, growing replication.
Emerging
Promising case series and mechanistic plausibility — formal trials in early stages.
Investigational
Theoretical support and individual case reports — experimental, evidence is preliminary.

Addiction

Substance & Behavioral Addiction

Substance and behavioral addiction protocols — the most-studied family of ibogaine indications.

Opioid Addiction

Established

Single-session interruption of acute opioid withdrawal and craving — the most-studied indication for ibogaine.

Read Protocol →

Fentanyl Addiction

Strong

Modified protocol for the highest-potency synthetic opioid epidemic — extended washout, careful dosing.

Read Protocol →

Alcohol Addiction

Strong

Resets alcohol craving and behavioral patterns; particularly effective for treatment-resistant alcohol use.

Read Protocol →

Cocaine & Stimulant Addiction

Emerging

Disrupts dopaminergic-mediated craving cycles for cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants.

Read Protocol →

Kratom Addiction

Strong

Single-session resolution of kratom withdrawal and opioid receptor dependency.

Read Protocol →

Methadone & Suboxone Dependence

Strong

Specialized tapering and washout protocol for long-acting opioid replacement therapies.

Read Protocol →

Benzodiazepine Dependence

Emerging

Coordinated benzo taper combined with ibogaine for combined opioid-benzo dependence.

Read Protocol →

Nicotine Addiction

Emerging

Resets nicotinic receptor sensitization; multi-day craving extinction window.

Read Protocol →

Mental Health

Mental Health & Mood

Mood, anxiety, and compulsive disorders — including treatment-resistant depression and SSRI discontinuation.

Depression (Treatment-Resistant)

Strong

Rapid-onset antidepressant effect with neuroplasticity promotion; particularly for SSRI-failed depression.

Read Protocol →

Anxiety

Emerging

Generalized and panic anxiety reduction with sustained effect after a single session.

Read Protocol →

OCD

Emerging

Disrupts compulsive thought-loop patterns; emerging evidence for treatment-resistant OCD.

Read Protocol →

Eating Disorders

Investigational

Targets underlying trauma and reward-circuit dysregulation in anorexia, bulimia, BED.

Read Protocol →

Suicidal Ideation

Emerging

Rapid reduction in suicidal ideation paired with extended psychiatric follow-up.

Read Protocol →

SSRI Discontinuation

Strong

10-14 day supervised protocol resetting the serotonin system for safe antidepressant discontinuation.

Read Protocol →

Trauma

Trauma, PTSD & TBI

PTSD, C-PTSD, and TBI protocols — the fastest-growing application among veterans and first responders.

PTSD

Strong

Trauma-focused ibogaine therapy with structured integration; the most-cited use among veterans.

Read Protocol →

C-PTSD

Strong

Complex post-traumatic stress from prolonged or developmental trauma; extended integration window.

Read Protocol →

Veterans PTSD

Strong

Specialized program for combat-related PTSD frequently with comorbid TBI and substance use.

Read Protocol →

Traumatic Brain Injury

Emerging

Concussion, post-concussive syndrome, and combat-related TBI — neuroplastic and inflammatory effects.

Read Protocol →

First Responder Trauma

Strong

Police, fire, EMS, and dispatch-specific trauma protocols.

Read Protocol →

Neurological

Neurological & Neurodegenerative

Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions — emerging research directions.

Parkinson's Disease

Investigational

GDNF upregulation and dopaminergic neuron repair — the most-discussed neurodegenerative indication.

Read Protocol →

Multiple Sclerosis

Investigational

Anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroplastic mechanisms applied to MS symptom management.

Read Protocol →

Chronic Pain

Emerging

Central sensitization disruption, opioid receptor reset, and inflammatory modulation.

Read Protocol →

Evidence Calibration

We label every indication honestly.

Most ibogaine sites describe every condition as 'proven' to maximize conversion. We disagree with that practice — it erodes trust and harms patients who believe a treatment is more validated than it really is.

Every condition on this page is labeled Established, Strong, Emerging, or Investigational. Established means multiple trials and registry data. Strong means observational data and clear mechanism. Emerging means promising case series. Investigational means theoretical and case reports — experimental.

The evidence base for ibogaine is growing rapidly. Read the literature directly at /ibogaine-research-hub, or learn about active studies at /ibogaine-clinical-trials-2026.

Conditions FAQ

What patients ask before choosing a condition pathway.

We treat conditions across four major categories: addiction (opioids, alcohol, stimulants, kratom, nicotine), mental health (treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, SSRI discontinuation), trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD, veterans, first responders, TBI), and neurological (Parkinson's, MS, chronic pain). Evidence levels vary by indication — see each condition page for current research and our outcomes.

We label every indication honestly: Established (multiple trials + registry data), Strong (strong observational data + clear mechanism), Emerging (promising case series, early trials), or Investigational (theoretical + individual reports). This is the same calibration our medical team uses internally — we will not market an experimental application as proven.

Yes — most of our patients have comorbid conditions (e.g., opioid use disorder + depression + PTSD). Ibogaine's mechanism (5-HT, μ-opioid, σ-1, NMDA, neurotrophic) addresses multiple targets simultaneously, which is part of its clinical appeal. Our medical team designs combined protocols around your specific comorbidity profile.

Yes. Ibogaine is contraindicated in active psychosis, certain cardiac conditions (significant QTc prolongation, structural heart disease, untreated arrhythmia), unstable seizure disorders, and during pregnancy. It is not a substitute for cancer treatment, primary surgical intervention, or acute psychiatric crisis stabilization. Our screening identifies these contraindications during admissions.

Ibogaine is a pleiotropic agent — it acts at multiple receptor systems (5-HT, μ-opioid, NMDA, σ-1, nicotinic), upregulates neurotrophic factors (GDNF, BDNF), modulates neuroinflammation, and induces a 6-12 hour psycho-experiential state that supports trauma processing. This combination is why a single drug shows efficacy across addiction, mood, trauma, and neurological conditions.

Our /ibogaine-research-hub aggregates the published literature, our case studies, and our internal outcomes data. Every condition page also links the specific studies most relevant to that indication.
