Baja Ibogaine Center

The Baja Ibogaine staff has over 20 years of combined experience safely and effectively administering Ibogaine. Dr. Hector Velasquez, MD, a qualified MD in Trauma & Anesthesiology, is the treatment coordinator of the Baja Ibogaine Center.

The 7-day Ibogaine treatment includes a full medical examination, psychological counseling, healthy nutritious meals, and activities such as massage, Reiki, and yoga.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Baja Ibogaine Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
