Ibogaine Aftercare and Lasting Recovery Support
A safe, caring place for the weeks and months after treatment.
Support after ibogaine care
The Tabernanthe provides a safe, caring place for aftercare. Depending on your situation, it can be at no cost to you. The weeks and months after treatment are when many people most want someone steady nearby.
What ibogaine aftercare is
Aftercare is the support you get once treatment is over. That means a safe place to stay or check in, people who understand what you went through, and help fitting it into daily life.
Why the months after treatment matter
After treatment, most people go back to the same job, the same home and the same stress. Sleep, mood and relationships can feel different for a while. A safe place and people you trust make that easier.
Ibogaine by the numbers
Nobody keeps a worldwide count of people who have taken ibogaine, because it is unregulated or illegal in most places. These are the best figures we could find, and each one says where it comes from.
In the Stanford study, depression was 87 percent lower and anxiety 81 percent lower. In the 2006 estimate, about two thirds took ibogaine for a substance-related problem, and about half for opioid withdrawal.
These studies are small, and the clinic count comes from the clinic itself. The Stanford researchers say larger controlled trials are still needed. We share the numbers because they show how many people have sought this care and how quickly research is moving. They tell you nothing about what any one person will experience.
What our aftercare offers
We provide a safe, caring environment for aftercare, and we stay with people before, during and long after treatment.
Who can join
People treated through one of our independent partner clinics and providers are welcome. If you had ibogaine care somewhere else or on your own, you can reach out too. Read more about ibogaine aftercare support after treatment.
What it costs
Aftercare can be at no cost to you, depending on your situation, including where you are and what kind of support you choose. We will tell you what it looks like before you decide. The Tabernanthe is a religious nonprofit supported by gifts, and giving is always voluntary. You can learn more about supporting our work.
At home or in California
Some people prefer aftercare at home. Others come to California, where we have more support options and can pair aftercare with other programs. When you reach out, we talk through which fits your situation.
