The number of ibogaine-based recovery programs worldwide is currently estimated to be between 50 and 100. These centers are primarily concentrated in regions where regulations permit their operation, such as Mexico, Costa Rica, and parts of Europe.
In North America, the availability of these centers is significantly restricted. In the United States, ibogaine is classified as a Schedule I substance by the FDA, making legal access very challenging. Similarly, in Canada, centers in cities like Montreal face strict regulations from Health Canada, which limits the number of facilities operating openly. Due to these legal barriers, many individuals seeking this therapy often look toward international options in medical tourism hubs like Tijuana or Cancun, Mexico.
