How Much Does Ibogaine Treatment Cost in 2026?
Ibogaine treatment typically costs between $7,500 and $19,500 at a medically supervised clinic in Mexico. Prices vary based on how much medical care comes with the program. Bassé charges $13,500 for the standard week-long program, and that covers everything: your room, meals, airport transfers, medical screening and 24/7 monitoring, the Ibogaine itself, and aftercare support.
The Ibogaine treatment at Bassé is given one person at a time, so the care stays focused on one client. Proper medical care is critical during Ibogaine treatment, so a clinic that offers more doctors, more monitoring, and more screening will be priced accordingly.
A cheaper program usually gets cheaper by cutting something: either the medical care, or everything that supports your recovery, meaning the staffing, the accommodations, the food, and the aftercare. A lower price is not a better deal if what got cut is the thing you needed. If you're considering Ibogaine, make sure proper medical care is part of whatever program you choose.

Talk to our teamWhy Do Ibogaine Prices Vary So Much?
Ibogaine prices mostly come down to what comes with the program. Most of the cost is the medical care: the doctors, the monitoring, and the screening that keep you safe during treatment. The rest is everything that carries you through the week: your room, your meals, therapy support, bodywork, coaching, and the aftercare that follows you home. The medicine itself is a small part of the price.
Once you know what goes into a program, the price differences between clinics stop looking random. A cheaper program deserves a close look at what was cut, and a more expensive one is not automatically better.
| Cost driver | What the money pays for | Why the price goes up |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiac monitoring | Electrocardiograms at screening, then continuous heart monitoring through the stay | Ibogaine affects the heart’s electrical rhythm, so trained staff and equipment watch the heart around the clock |
| Physician coverage | Doctors on site through the stay, not on call | A physician present day and night costs far more than one on call, and that difference is in the price |
| Medical screening | A full blood workup, liver panel test, and physician review before treatment | Screening catches the people for whom Ibogaine is dangerous; skipping the screening is where cheap programs save money |
| Program length | 7 days standard; certain drugs and medications need 10 or more | Every added day adds staff time, monitoring, room, and meals |
| Staff-to-client ratio | Enough staff to watch a small number of clients closely | Caring for six clients around the clock costs more per person than spreading the same staff across thirty |
| Accommodations and food | A private room and prepared meals for the length of the stay | The clinic is also where you live for a week; a comfortable private room and real meals cost more to provide than a shared room and basic food |
| Aftercare | Integration sessions and structured follow-up after you go home | Programs that end when you leave cost less, and they leave you alone with the hardest part |
Ibogaine affects the heart. Ibogaine can change the heart's electrical rhythm, so anyone undergoing treatment needs continuous monitoring: electrocardiograms at screening, then staff watching heart activity through the stay, with physicians present.
Ibogaine is different from other psychedelic therapies on this point. You could take psilocybin or ketamine in an outpatient office and go home the same day.
With Ibogaine, you stay at the clinic for a week or more, because treatment is more than the session itself: screening comes first, monitoring runs through the entire stay, and the days after the session are for recovery and integration. A legitimate Ibogaine program runs more like a small private hospital than an office or a retreat center.
None of this is a knock on the outpatient therapies. The point is that Ibogaine asks more of a clinic than any of them, and everything a clinic builds to meet that demand shows up in the price. When you compare two prices, compare what each program built: how much care you get before, during, and after your treatment.
What Does an All-Inclusive Ibogaine Price Include?
"All-inclusive" does not mean the same thing at every clinic, so before you compare two prices, find out what each price covers. Medical tests, medications, airport transfers, and extra days are the most common extras that turn a low advertised price into a higher final bill.
Bassé's $13,500 covers everything on this list, and there are no additional fees. Most clients qualify for the standard week-long program. Certain drugs and medications require a 10-day or longer program, because the body needs time to clear them before Ibogaine can be given safely. Days beyond the standard week are prorated: you pay by the day, not for a second package. Use the list as the benchmark for what all-inclusive should mean at any clinic:
- Transportation from Cancún International Airport to the clinic, and back
- A single-occupancy room with a king bed, private bathroom, balcony, and pool access
- 24/7 medical care throughout the stay
- All necessary medications
- A full blood workup and liver panel test, electrocardiograms, and physician assessments
- One flood dose of Ibogaine, plus follow-up booster dose(s) as determined by the presiding physician
- All necessary medical monitoring during the Ibogaine administration
- Daily psychotherapy and coaching sessions
- Daily signature bodywork, somatic integration, and fitness activities
- Daily rituals to support preparation and integration
- Gourmet farm-to-table meals
- A 30-day integration and aftercare course for after you return home
- A 60-minute private integration session with Kat Courtney, Bassé's Head of Integration
When you compare clinics, ask each one for a list like this in writing.

Pricing based on condition. Some clinics set the price based on what you're being treated for. MindScape, for example, charges $8,500 for a 7-day trauma program and $13,500 for opioid addiction, because opioid detox needs more medical management and more days. There's nothing wrong with that math, but it means your price depends on an assessment you haven't had yet.
We believe you shouldn't have to wonder what treatment costs. Bassé charges $13,500 for the standard week, whatever you're being treated for. If your medical needs require a longer stay, the added days are prorated.
Pricing based on booking date. Some clinics charge less when you book early. Beond's lowest tier ($12,500) requires reserving 90 or more days ahead, and the same program rises to $19,500 as capacity fills.
Airlines price this way, and it works for airlines. We don't think treatment should be something you have to time. Bassé charges $13,500 whenever you book, and the price you see is the price you pay.
Luxury resort pricing. Some programs are priced like five-star resorts, far above everything in the table above. Sanctuary Tulum, the best-known example, is listed at approximately $100,000 a month on comparison pages (August 2026).

Are Cheap Ibogaine Programs Safe?
Some cheap Ibogaine programs are safe, and some are not. The price alone won't tell you which one you're looking at. A very low price could mean a program is cutting corners on medical safeguards, or on the room, meals, and support that carry you through the stay. It could also be a smaller operation with honestly lower costs. The only way to tell the difference is research.
Before you commit to a low-priced program, pin down:
- exactly what medical care is provided, and who is on site
- what the price includes and what costs extra
- what the room, meals, and daily schedule look like for your whole stay
The cost questions at the end of this page walk through each of these.
Reviews are the other half of the research, and they need to be read with some care. Fake reviews are common enough across every industry that the Federal Trade Commission banned them outright in 2024. The ban runs in both directions: a business paying for glowing reviews of itself, and a business paying for bad reviews of a competitor.
A perfect rating is not proof that a clinic is good, and one angry review is not proof that a clinic is bad.
The way around that is to read widely instead of deeply. Look a clinic up across multiple review sites to get a full picture of its reputation. Check independent directories like recovery.com, search the clinic's name on Reddit, and read its Google reviews.
One note on Reddit specifically. Reddit is a great source for raw, unfiltered opinions, and each of those opinions still comes from one person posting under a name nobody has verified.
In a Reddit discussion where people compared what they paid for treatment, the reports on low-cost clinics cut both ways. Some cheaper clinics came recommended, and one person who researched clinics in the $5,000–$8,000 range found they "weren't very well reviewed." One good experience at a cheap clinic doesn't make it safe, and one bad report doesn't make it a scam.
When you do find reviews, look for specifics: what the person came in for, what their days actually looked like, and how they were looked after. A review from someone in a situation like yours is worth more than a five-star rating with no story behind it. If you're coming off opioids, another opioid client's account will tell you more than a glowing review from someone who came for something else entirely.
And remember, treat the testimonials on any clinic's own website as marketing. Every clinic picks which ones to publish, which is why reading reviews from several places matters.

Ibogaine Treatment Cost in Mexico
Ibogaine is not available for addiction treatment in the United States. People from the US, Canada, and the UK travel to Mexico for treatment. Prices in Mexico are lower because facilities, staffing, and insurance all cost less there. That means you can get the same standard of care you would expect at a clinic in the United States, for a fraction of the cost.
If you are budgeting for a Mexico program, two travel costs sit on top of the program price:
- Flights: round trips to Cancún International Airport (CUN) typically run $300–$800 from most US cities
- Ground transfer: included at Bassé in both directions; some clinics charge separately
Pre-treatment medical tests are handled on site at Bassé. Some clinics require testing before arrival at your own cost. Ask before booking.
Scholarships and Financing for Ibogaine Treatment
If the price is the thing standing between you and treatment, you have two options beyond paying outright.
Need-based scholarships. Scholarships through our nonprofit partners can help cover part of the cost of treatment. No loan or credit check is required. Spots are limited, so it's worth applying early.
→ See scholarships & financial assistance
Medical financing. Prosper, a third-party medical financing company, offers treatment loans to applicants with a credit score of 640 or higher. The loan is repaid in monthly payments after your stay.
Deposit, Payment, and Cancellation
A $5,000 USD deposit reserves any length of stay at Bassé, payable by wire transfer or Zelle. The rest is due before treatment begins.
- Cancel 7 days or more before arrival: the deposit is 100% refundable
- Cancel less than 7 days before arrival: the deposit is non-refundable
- If screening at the clinic finds someone is not a viable candidate for Ibogaine treatment, all funds beyond the $5,000 deposit are refunded
Whatever clinic you choose, ask for its version of these terms in writing before you pay anything, especially the refund policy for medical disqualification.
Ibogaine vs. Residential Rehab Costs
Traditional residential rehab means living at a treatment facility, usually for 30 to 90 days, for a program built on counseling, group therapy, and structured daily routine. One stay commonly costs $30,000 to $50,000, and one stay is often not the whole cost. Relapse is common: the National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that 40 to 60% of people treated for substance use disorders relapse. When relapse leads back to rehab, the bill repeats.
Insurance changes the math, in rehab's favor. Rehab is an established medical service in the United States, so insurance will sometimes cover part of a stay. Ibogaine treatment does not get that help. Ibogaine is not available in the United States, so US insurers do not cover the treatment, and you pay the full price yourself. The full price at Bassé is $13,500, about a third of a single rehab stay.
The two programs are also built around different goals. Rehab manages addiction with months of structure and support, and many people need more than one round. An Ibogaine program is one intensive, medically supervised stay aimed at interrupting the addiction pattern instead of managing the addiction over time.
So if you are comparing prices, compare more than the two program fees. A year of continued addiction has costs of its own: repeated treatment attempts, lost income, medical bills. Many people arrive at Ibogaine treatment having already spent more than $13,500 on approaches that didn't hold.
Six Cost Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Ibogaine Clinic
Before choosing an Ibogaine clinic, ask these six questions. The answers will show you what level of care you're getting for the quoted price. A good clinic will answer every one specifically.
- Can you send me an itemized list of everything included in the quoted price? Get the list in writing. The common gaps are medical tests, medications, airport transfers, and extra days.
- Are there additional or optional costs once I'm on site? Ask about massages, extra therapy sessions, and food beyond the included meals. You want the full number before you travel, not after you arrive.
- Does the price include physicians on site around the clock, or a doctor on call? Those are two very different levels of care, and they are priced accordingly.
- What medical screening and monitoring does the price include? Ibogaine affects the heart, so you want to hear electrocardiograms before treatment and continuous monitoring through the stay.
- What is your refund policy if screening disqualifies me after I have paid? A serious clinic has this policy written down. Ask for a copy.
- What aftercare is included after I go home? Ask for specifics: sessions, check-ins, and for how long. If the answer is vague, there probably isn't any.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ibogaine treatment cost?
Ibogaine treatment typically costs between $7,500 and $19,500 at a medically supervised clinic in Mexico. Bassé charges $13,500, all-inclusive, for the standard week-long program. Prices vary based on program length, the condition being treated, and how much medical care comes with the program. Underground providers advertise $3,000–$6,000; those prices generally do not include medical screening or monitoring.
What does the $13,500 at Bassé include?
Everything. The $13,500 covers the room, meals, airport transfers, medical screening (a full blood workup, liver panel test, electrocardiograms, and physician assessments), 24/7 medical care, all necessary medications, the Ibogaine flood dose plus boosters as determined by the presiding physician, monitoring during administration, daily psychotherapy and coaching, daily somatic and integration work, a 30-day aftercare course, and a 60-minute private integration session with Bassé’s Head of Integration. There are no additional fees. If a medical need extends the stay past a week, the added days are prorated.
Why does Ibogaine treatment cost more than a wellness retreat?
Because Ibogaine needs medical care that a wellness retreat does not provide. Ibogaine affects the heart, so safe treatment means cardiac screening before, continuous monitoring during, and physicians present throughout the stay. A meditation or ayahuasca retreat does not need the medical equipment or staff, so a retreat can charge less. An Ibogaine program priced like a retreat is usually missing that medical care. That is why medically supervised programs start around $7,500 while retreat-style offerings charge less.
Does insurance cover Ibogaine treatment?
No. We do not bill insurance, and US insurers do not cover Ibogaine treatment. If cost is a barrier, need-based scholarships through our nonprofit partners can help cover part of the cost, and Prosper, a third-party medical financing company, offers treatment loans.
Are there scholarships or financing for Ibogaine treatment?
Yes, both. Need-based scholarships through our nonprofit partners can cover part of the cost of treatment, with no loan or credit check. Spots are limited, so it’s worth applying early. Prosper, a third-party medical financing company, offers treatment loans to applicants with a credit score of 640 or higher, repaid in monthly payments after your stay.
Is the deposit refundable?
Yes, if you cancel 7 days or more before arrival: the full $5,000 comes back. Within 7 days of arrival the deposit is non-refundable, because the room and the medical staff for your dates are already committed. If screening at the clinic finds treatment is not medically appropriate for you, everything you have paid beyond the deposit is refunded.
How much is travel on top of the program price?
Plan on $300–$800 for a round-trip flight to Cancún International Airport (CUN) from most US cities. Ground transfer between the airport and the clinic is included at Bassé in both directions, so the flight is the only travel cost. Some clinics charge separately for transfers and require pre-arrival medical tests at your own cost. Bassé includes both.
Why is Ibogaine treatment cheaper in Mexico than in the United States?
There is no US Ibogaine treatment to compare against, because Ibogaine is not available for addiction treatment in the United States. Compared with US residential rehab, Mexico programs cost less because facilities, staffing, and insurance all cost less in Mexico. The overhead is lower, not the standard of care.
Is Ibogaine legal in the US?
Ibogaine is not available in the United States. It can be administered in Mexico in a medical setting, which is why people from the US, Canada, and the UK travel for treatment.
Can I get Ibogaine treatment in Texas or anywhere in the US?
No. There are no Ibogaine treatment clinics operating in Texas or any other US state, so there is no US price to compare. Americans who want medically supervised Ibogaine treatment travel, most often to Mexico, where programs typically run $7,500–$19,500 all-inclusive, plus a $300–$800 flight.
How long is the program, and does a longer stay cost more?
The standard program is one week at $13,500. Certain drugs and medications require a 10-day or longer program, because they must clear the body before Ibogaine can be given safely. A typical stay runs 8–14 days depending on each client’s needs. Days beyond the standard week are prorated, not priced as a separate package.
How much do other clinics like Beond, Transcend, or New Roots charge?
Beond publishes tiered pricing from $12,500 (booked 90 or more days ahead) to $19,500. Transcend and New Roots publish no prices; each quotes after a screening call. MindScape publishes $7,500–$15,500 by program, Ambio $7,350–$30,000, and Casa Santa Isabel from $8,000. All figures are from the clinics’ own websites and directory listings as of August 2026.
