IV Ibogaine in Mexico and Gabon: How Waitlist Intake Works

Definition

Definition: IV ibogaine waitlist intake in Mexico and Gabon is the process Ibogaine Infusion, a clinic dedicated exclusively to IV ibogaine therapy, uses to move people from initial inquiry to a physician-screened treatment date at one of its two intake locations, Mexico or Gabon. Joining the waitlist is not admission. Every place depends on medical screening and a physician's go or no-go decision. Evidence gap: Most published ibogaine research used oral ibogaine, and there are no controlled trials of psychoactive IV ibogaine. Ibogaine can prolong the QTc interval. It is Schedule I in the United States and is not approved for any indication. Our programs abroad are not approved U.S. clinics.

Short answer

You join the waitlist with your name, email and WhatsApp, or complete the full confidential application and choose Mexico or Gabon as your preferred location. Intake opens in small, physician-screened cohorts because every infusion has one-to-one cardiac monitoring. Screening, including ECG and medication review, comes before any date is confirmed, and some applicants are declined for safety reasons.

Why treatment happens outside the United States

Ibogaine is Schedule I under U.S. federal law and is not approved for any indication, so it is not available as a U.S. clinic treatment. Research interest in the United States, including state-funded research proposals, is about future trials, not walk-in access. See is ibogaine legal in the US and Texas ibogaine clinical trials.

Our IV ibogaine infusions take place at our intake locations in Mexico and Gabon. Treatment abroad is not the same as regulatory approval, and rules differ by country. Nothing on this page is legal advice. If you have questions about travel, controlled substances or your own legal situation, speak to a lawyer in your jurisdiction.

Two locations, one medical standard

Mexico and Gabon are very different places to travel to, but the medical model is meant to be the same at both:

• The psychoactive ibogaine dose is delivered intravenously, not by mouth. See what IV ibogaine infusion is and the IV vs oral comparison.
• A physician owns the go or no-go decision and supervises the infusion.
• Continuous cardiac telemetry runs during the infusion and recovery.
• Emergency equipment, trained staff and a written transfer plan are in place.
• Integration and aftercare planning start before you travel.

Gabon has a long traditional and ceremonial history with *Tabernanthe iboga*, the plant ibogaine is historically associated with. Our program there is a medical IV infusion model, not a ceremony or retreat. The difference matters, and our guide to medical ibogaine programs vs tourism explains why.

Which location suits you is something to discuss during intake. Practical factors include travel time, flights, your companion's availability and how you will get home safely afterward.

How waitlist intake works, step by step

1. Join the waitlist or apply. The short form asks for your name, email and WhatsApp. The full application collects more detail and lets you choose a preferred location. You do not need an ECG file to submit; reports can be collected later.
2. Confidential consult. A conversation about substance use, psychiatric and cardiac history, current medicines, goals and logistics. No outcome is promised.
3. Medical and cardiac screening. A baseline 12-lead ECG with QTc, electrolytes, labs as indicated, a full medication and supplement review and a psychiatric assessment. See safety and screening and preparing for ibogaine screening.
4. Physician decision. A physician, not a sales coordinator, decides whether treatment is medically appropriate. Some people are declined, and that protects them.
5. Cohort placement. If cleared, you are offered a place in an upcoming cohort at your chosen location. Cohorts are small because each infusion has one-to-one cardiac monitoring.
6. Preparation. Medication transitions planned by physicians, travel planning and an aftercare plan for when you return.
7. Treatment and recovery observation at the intake location, followed by integration support.

Waitlist position does not override screening. No cohort place is offered before medical clearance.

What waitlist intake is not

• Not admission. Submitting a form starts screening; it does not reserve treatment.
• Not a promise of a date. Cohort timing depends on screening and capacity.
• Not a promise of results. We make no outcome guarantees for addiction, depression or PTSD.
• Not an approved U.S. clinic pathway, and not a guarantee of legality or travel clearance.

Planning travel around treatment

Treatment is not a single day. Plan for screening steps at home, travel to Mexico or Gabon, the stay itself and the journey home. Some practical points:

• Bring a complete, accurate list of every medicine and supplement you take.
• Do not change prescribed medicines on your own to prepare. Methadone and other opioids need physician-planned transitions. See IV ibogaine for opioid and fentanyl detox.
• Arrange a companion if advised, and plan rest after you get home.
• Read flying home after ibogaine and the family guide to ibogaine treatment.

FAQ

Where does Ibogaine Infusion provide IV ibogaine?

At two waitlist intake locations, Mexico and Gabon. Ibogaine is Schedule I in the United States and is not approved for any indication, and our programs abroad are not approved U.S. clinics.

Does joining the waitlist guarantee treatment?

No. Joining starts confidential intake and screening. A place in a cohort is offered after a physician reviews your ECG, labs, medicines and history and decides treatment is medically appropriate.

Can I choose between Mexico and Gabon?

Yes. You choose a preferred location when you apply. The medical model, including IV delivery and continuous cardiac monitoring, is designed to be the same at both.

Do I need an ECG before I apply?

No. You can submit the application without an ECG file. Expect ECG and lab screening before any infusion is cleared.

Medical disclaimer

This is educational content, not medical, legal or travel advice and not a promise of any outcome. Ibogaine can prolong the QTc interval and has been associated with serious cardiac events, including torsades de pointes and death. Most published research used oral ibogaine, and there are no controlled trials of psychoactive IV ibogaine. Ibogaine is Schedule I in the United States and is not approved for any indication. Our IV ibogaine programs at our Mexico and Gabon intake locations are not approved U.S. clinics.
