Iboga Therapy House


Ibogaine Therapy at the Iboga Therapy House

The Iboga Therapy House is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to exploring and facilitating the therapeutic use of ibogaine.

They offer a holistic, ibogaine-assisted detoxification program to help facilitate recovery from dependence to chemical substances as well as a setting for personal psycho-therapeutic explorations.

In 2002, Marc Emery founded the Iboga Therapy House, a drug rehabilitation clinic located in the town of Gibsons on BC's Sunshine Coast.  Emery and his staff treated volunteer heroin and cocaine addicts with a psychedelic extract called ibogaine, which eliminates withdrawal symptoms and helps produce the mental change needed to quit using.

Emery's Iboga Therapy House treated almost 70 people before he stopped funding in 2004, at a cost Emery claims of over $2000 per patient. The Iboga Therapy House continues to offer treatment as an independent organization, but the cost is now several thousand dollars.

About the plant


Ibogaine is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid found in the root bark of a shrub called Tabernanthe Iboga that grows in the forests of West Africa. It is a potent psychoactive substance that has the unique property of significantly removing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings from substances that cause chemical dependence. Ibogaine has a long history of being used traditionally as a ceremonial, medicinal and spiritual tool in West Africa. For the last 40 years, it has increasingly been used in western society as a unique therapy for detoxification from drugs and for other psycho-therapeutic purposes.
