Ibogaine Treatment for Florida Residents: Your Legal Option
If you live in Florida and you’ve been searching for ibogaine treatment, you’ve probably noticed something: none of the results are in Florida. That’s not an accident. Ibogaine sits in Schedule I under both federal law and Florida law, so no clinic in the state can legally offer it.
That’s why so many Floridians travel for care. Our clinic sits in Rosarito, a quiet beach town on the Baja coast just south of Tijuana. You fly into San Diego, we bring you across the border, and our medical team takes it from there. You’d stay with us for seven nights, with one medically supervised flood dose at the center of it.
Florida has made real progress. The state’s medical examiners counted 32% fewer opioid deaths and 35% fewer fentanyl deaths in 2024 than the year before. But thousands of Floridians are still stuck on fentanyl, pills, methadone or Suboxone, and many have already tried detox and rehab close to home. If that’s you, or someone you love, this page explains how ibogaine treatment works when you’re coming from Florida.
Leave Florida in the morning, and with a nonstop flight you can be in San Diego by lunchtime, Pacific time, and settled at the clinic that evening.
A Flight Away
Nonstop flights run from Orlando and Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, and most other Florida airports connect with one stop. Once you land, the ride to Rosarito is on us to arrange. Ask about your trip →
Not Legal in Florida
Florida puts ibogaine on its own Schedule I list, matching federal law, so no Florida clinic can legally give it. Read the details →
One Clear Price
One program price, no insurance billing, and a lower rate for veterans and first responders. See what it costs →
Is Ibogaine Legal in Florida?
No. You can’t legally possess, sell or give ibogaine in Florida, so there’s no legitimate ibogaine clinic anywhere in the state. If someone in Florida offers to dose you, they’re working outside the law, with no oversight anyone can check.
Federal Law
The federal government lists ibogaine as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has no accepted medical use in the US. No doctor in any state can prescribe it. How DEA scheduling works →
Florida Law
Florida names ibogaine in its own Schedule I, in section 893.03 of the Florida Statutes, so it’s illegal under state law too. Florida also hasn’t funded ibogaine research the way Texas, Arizona and Mississippi have. Read the statute →
Mexico
Mexican law doesn’t prohibit ibogaine, so clinics there can treat people under medical supervision. That’s where Floridians, like people from every other state, go for care.
Research is picking up. Stanford’s 2024 veterans study followed people treated at a clinic in Mexico, and several states now fund trials. Until a trial opens near you, treatment abroad is the legal path. Where the law stands in 2026 →
Getting Here From Florida
Book your flight to San Diego International Airport (SAN). Alaska, Southwest and JetBlue fly nonstop from Fort Lauderdale, and Alaska and Southwest fly nonstop from Orlando. Westbound, plan on roughly five to six hours in the air. From Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and smaller airports, nonstops are limited or seasonal, so you may connect once. San Diego runs three hours behind Florida, so a morning departure often lands before noon.
When you arrive, we arrange the ride across the border to Rosarito. You won’t need a rental car, and you won’t have to find your own way through Tijuana.
Before You Book Travel
Send us a list of every medication you take before you buy a ticket. Some, like methadone, Suboxone and certain antidepressants, change your timing or need a switch first, which can add days. Wait for our medical team to confirm your dates, and choose a flexible fare if you can. If you’re flying during hurricane season, June through November, leave a spare day in case of delays.
Where Are You Coming From?
Your route depends on where in Florida you live.
South Florida
From Broward or Palm Beach, take a nonstop out of Fort Lauderdale. From Miami-Dade or the Keys, check flights out of Miami, or head up to Fort Lauderdale for the nonstop.
Central Florida
Orlando has nonstop service to San Diego. From Tampa, St. Pete or Sarasota, fly with one connection, or drive to Orlando, roughly an hour and a half from Tampa, and catch the nonstop.
North Florida and the Panhandle
From Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tallahassee or Pensacola, plan on one stop. Send us your flight details once they’re booked, and someone will be waiting when you land.
How It Works When You’re Coming From Florida
1. Apply. Send us the short form. We’ll call to go over your substance use and medical history.
2. Get your dates. Our medical team reviews your medications and confirms when to come and how many nights you’ll need.
3. Fly to San Diego. We meet you and handle the drive across the border to Rosarito.
4. Screening. Your first day starts with a heart tracing (EKG) and lab work.
5. Your flood dose. Most people dose on day 2 or 3. Two doctors and a full nursing staff stay with you, and a monitor tracks your heart through the night. What the night feels like →
Your Week in Rosarito
The standard stay is seven nights: screening on arrival, one supervised flood dose, three meals a day and staff on hand at every hour. Some people need extra nights first to switch off a long-acting opioid, and we price those after screening. The rest of the week is for sleep, food and recovery before you fly home.

Ibogaine Treatment for Florida Residents: Your Questions
No licensed, legal one. Both Florida and the federal government list ibogaine in Schedule I, so no clinic in the state can offer it. Floridians who want supervised treatment travel to Mexico, where it isn’t prohibited.
No. Florida lists ibogaine in Schedule I of its drug laws, and the federal government does too. Possessing or giving it in Florida is a crime.
San Diego International Airport (SAN). It has the best connections from Florida, and our team drives you from there to the clinic. Don’t book into Tijuana’s airport unless we’ve talked it through first.
Nonstop flights from Orlando or Fort Lauderdale take about five to six hours heading west. With a connection, plan on most of a day. Coming home is a little faster because of the tailwinds.
Yes. Re-entering the US over land requires a passport book, a passport card or a trusted traveler card (SENTRI, for example). Your driver’s license alone won’t do it.
The program itself is seven nights, plus a travel day on each end, so most Floridians plan for about nine days. If you need extra switch days for methadone, Suboxone or fentanyl, we’ll tell you after screening.
No. Because ibogaine isn’t FDA-approved, no US insurance plan or Medicaid program will pay for it, and we don’t bill insurance. Veterans and first responders do pay less.
Opioids, including fentanyl and heroin, plus methadone, Suboxone, kratom and 7-OH, cocaine, meth, alcohol and PTSD and trauma.
No. Florida’s Marchman Act lets a court order someone into assessment or treatment with licensed providers in Florida, and it can’t send anyone to a clinic in Mexico. Ibogaine treatment is always voluntary, and the person has to choose to come. If you’re a parent or spouse, call us anyway. We’re glad to talk it through with you.
Rosarito is a laid-back beach town where people from Southern California have vacationed for decades. We pick you up at the San Diego airport, and you stay at the clinic for the whole program, so you won’t be getting around on your own.
Rosarito and San Diego are on Pacific time, three hours behind Florida. That works in your favor on the way out, since you gain three hours, but plan for a later night the first evening if you’re an early riser.
No. Keep taking everything exactly as prescribed until our doctors review your list. Stopping methadone, Suboxone, benzodiazepines or other medications on your own can be dangerous, and it won’t make you ready any sooner.
Not right now. Florida hasn’t funded ibogaine research, and the trials starting in Texas and other states are small and mostly not enrolling yet. How ibogaine clinical trials work →
Yes. Florida is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and every veteran and first responder gets a lower rate on our program. Veterans and first responders →
You can, but it’s roughly 2,300 miles, or three to four long days on the road. Most people are better off flying, since arriving rested makes the first days easier. If you’d rather drive, tell us when you call so we can plan your arrival.
