About IbogaineAdvisor

I've been the person
your family is terrified for.

I also know what it feels like to finally get free of it. This site exists for the people still figuring out how to get there.

The Founder

Eric's Story

I built this site because I've been where you're sitting right now, or where your family member is sitting. I've been on the other side of that desperate phone call, the one where someone who loves you doesn't know what else to do. I've lived the cycle: trying to get better, failing, trying again. I know what it feels like when the system runs out of answers and the people around you start to run out of hope.

I found ibogaine the way most people do: through someone who'd experienced it firsthand. There was a kind of certainty in their voice you can't manufacture. So I went to Mexico. I had the experience. And I came back different in ways I couldn't fully explain. Years of therapy, programs, and mainstream treatment had never touched what those few days did. I didn't feel dramatically different at first. But my family noticed. The shift was unmistakable to them, even when it wasn't yet to me.

What happened next surprised me. Both my wife and my daughter eventually made the same trip to Mexico. Both of them found relief from their own struggles with addiction. A treatment I'd stumbled into out of desperation became something our family returned to, and believed in.

That experience left me with two things I can't set down. One is a genuine belief in what ibogaine can do when the right person gets access to the right clinic at the right time. The other is an awareness of how hard it is to navigate this without someone who actually knows the landscape, someone who's been inside it and not just read about it.

That matters here. There are clinics that are excellent and clinics that aren't. There are people who are strong candidates for ibogaine and people who, for real medical reasons, aren't. You deserve honesty about the difference, not a sales pitch. That's what this site is. That's why I built it.

How We Work

Editorial standards

Editorial coverage on this site is never for sale. Clinic profiles come from direct conversations with founders, medical directors, and staff, not scraped from websites and not pulled from reviews. Claims about ibogaine are grounded in peer-reviewed research and linked to primary sources. Where the evidence is strong, we say so. Where it's still developing, we say that too.

Ibogaine carries real cardiac risk for some patients. We don't minimize it. We explain the screening, why it matters, and what to look for in a clinic that takes it seriously.

We cover veterans, families dealing with addiction, and people doing trauma work or personal transformation, without ranking them. The policy landscape moves fast, clinic rosters change, research accumulates, and this site gets updated when things change.

If a commercial arrangement with a clinic ever enters the picture, we'll say so plainly. That transparency is the whole point.

A Note on Timing

The window is opening

President Trump signed an Executive Order on April 18, 2026 directing $50M in federal funding and FDA fast-track status for ibogaine research. Following the landmark $50M Texas research bill, ibogaine is on one of the fastest legislative trajectories of any psychedelic medicine in the US.

That process takes time. If you or someone you love is suffering now, Mexico is a safe, legal, accessible option today, and has been for decades. This site exists to help you use that option wisely, and to track what's coming next on the policy front.
