Risks belong in view.
Potential benefits should never be discussed without serious harms, individual medical risks, and the need for qualified clinical assessment.
We’re here to help people in Aotearoa New Zealand approach ibogaine with context, caution, and questions worth asking—not pressure to pursue treatment.
People may encounter ibogaine while looking for help with substance use, often after a difficult or lengthy search. Information at that point needs to be clear about both the interest in this substance and the serious risks it carries.
Our aim is to make those conversations easier to begin. Understanding an option is not the same as recommending it. Choosing not to pursue ibogaine, or exploring established treatments with a clinician, is a valid next step.
Potential benefits should never be discussed without serious harms, individual medical risks, and the need for qualified clinical assessment.
Research interest and personal accounts do not establish a cure. Evidence has limitations, outcomes vary, and no result can be guaranteed.
Preparation, trusted support, and ongoing care deserve attention—not just the treatment experience itself.
Use these pages to prepare for a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional, not to make a medical decision alone.
Start with the risks and limitations of ibogaine, then use our treatment-planning guide to prepare questions for your clinician.
