Ibogaine Treatment and Oregon’s Psychedelic Story
Oregon has been ahead of the rest of the country on psychedelics for years. In 2020, its voters made it the first state to legalize supervised psilocybin services and the first to decriminalize possession of small amounts of all drugs. The first licensed psilocybin service center opened in Eugene in 2023, and Portland has one of the most active psychedelic integration communities anywhere in the US.
Ibogaine never became part of that story. It isn’t covered by the psilocybin program, a 2026 bill that would have let Oregon doctors give it to patients died in committee, and it is still illegal under state and federal law. That gap hurts, because Oregon’s overdose crisis is driven by fentanyl and meth, the same kinds of dependence people most often call us about.
So Oregonians who want ibogaine treatment with real medical supervision travel for it, and many come to us. We run an ibogaine clinic in Rosarito, Mexico, a beach town just south of Tijuana. Portland to San Diego is a short nonstop, and we arrange your ride across the border from the airport.
Leave Portland in the morning, land in San Diego around lunchtime, and you can be settled in Rosarito that evening.
Same Time Zone, Short Flight
Portland and San Diego are both on Pacific time. Nonstops on Alaska and Southwest take about two and a half hours, so there’s no jet lag and no time change to plan around.
Ahead on Psilocybin, Not Ibogaine
Oregon’s legal psychedelic program covers psilocybin only. Ibogaine is still a controlled substance there, so you won’t find a licensed Oregon provider.

Is Ibogaine Legal in Oregon?
No. Oregon has relaxed its rules on psychedelics more than almost any state, but ibogaine was never included. Here’s how the pieces fit together, and why you may have read otherwise online.
The Bill That Stalled
In 2026, House Bill 4110 proposed letting Oregon physicians give ibogaine to patients at state-certified treatment centers. It had a public hearing in the House Behavioral Health Committee in February, where the Oregon Medical Association and the state’s psychiatric association raised concerns, and it died in committee when the session ended on March 6. A few websites reported that it passed. It didn’t. The bill’s official record →
Measures 109 and 110
Measure 109 created Oregon’s licensed psilocybin services for adults 21 and over, and that program still runs today, although most counties have opted out. Measure 110 decriminalized small amounts of drugs, but lawmakers reversed it with House Bill 4002, and possession became a crime again on September 1, 2024. Neither measure created a legal way to get ibogaine treatment.
U.S. Law vs. Mexico
Ibogaine is a Schedule I drug under federal law, and that applies in Oregon like everywhere else in the US. It isn’t a controlled substance in Mexico, where clinics like ours provide it under medical supervision. You don’t bring anything home across the border, because the treatment happens with us.
If Oregon passes a law like HB 4110 in a future session, we’ll update this page. Until a clinic can open there, medically supervised treatment in Mexico is the lawful route for Oregonians. Ibogaine’s legal status across the US →
Flying From Oregon to San Diego
Fly from Portland International (PDX) to San Diego International (SAN). Alaska and Southwest both fly the route nonstop, and the trip usually takes around two and a half hours. From Eugene, Medford, Redmond-Bend or the coast, you’ll usually connect, often through Portland or Seattle, or you can drive to PDX for more flight choices.
Once you land, we arrange your ride from San Diego to Rosarito, about an hour south. You don’t need a rental car, and you don’t have to figure out the border or Tijuana on your own.
Before You Book Your Flight
Send us your medication list before you buy a ticket. Methadone, Suboxone, kratom, some antidepressants and a few heart drugs can push back your start or add days before your flood dose. Once our doctors confirm your plan, book a fare you can change, since Portland’s winter weather sometimes delays flights.
Recovery and Integration Support Back Home
Here’s something we love about working with Oregonians: few states have more support waiting for you when you get home. Ibogaine can give you a fresh start, but the weeks after treatment matter most, and Oregon is full of people who do that work every day.
Peer Recovery Support
Oregon funds peer-run recovery community centers, where people in recovery offer free drop-in support, groups and mentoring. In Portland, The Peer Company, formerly the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, runs dozens of peer programs. Recovery meetings of every kind happen daily across the state.
Psychedelic Integration
Oregon has a deep bench of integration help: therapists who specialize in psychedelic integration, licensed psilocybin facilitators who offer integration sessions, and community circles in Portland and other cities. Fireside Project’s free support line (62-FIRESIDE) is also there by phone or text when you want to talk an experience through.
We Help You Connect
Before you head home, our team helps you line up support near where you live. That might be a peer mentor, an integration therapist or circle, regular meetings, or a doctor to talk with about naltrexone if relapse worries you. You leave with names and a plan, not just a goodbye.
How Treatment Works for Oregonians
1. Apply or call. Tell us what you use, how long you’ve used it and what your health history looks like.
2. Plan with our doctors. They go over your medications and history, then let you know how long your stay should be, including any switch days for fentanyl or methadone.
3. Fly to San Diego. We arrange your ride from the airport to our clinic in Rosarito.
4. Get screened. An EKG and full blood work come first, and no dose is given until our doctors have reviewed your results.
5. Your flood dose. It’s usually on day two or three, with our doctors and nurses on site and your heart monitored throughout. What the experience feels like →
6. Recover and plan for home. You rest, eat, talk through what came up, and leave with a support plan for Oregon.
What Seven Nights Covers
The core program is seven nights in Rosarito. It includes screening with an EKG and blood work when you arrive, your supervised flood dose, all meals, 24/7 care and time to recover before you fly home. Fentanyl, methadone, Suboxone and kratom can add days at the start, and our doctors set that after screening.

Ibogaine Treatment for Oregon Residents: Your Questions
No. No clinic in Oregon is licensed to provide ibogaine, and psilocybin service centers aren’t allowed to offer it. Anyone giving ibogaine in Oregon is working outside the law, and usually without the heart screening and monitoring it needs.
No. House Bill 4110 would have let physicians provide ibogaine at certified treatment centers, but it died in committee on March 6, 2026. Some websites reported that it passed, and that’s wrong.
It’s possible. The 2026 bill drew support from veterans and advocates, and lawmakers could bring back a version when the next regular session starts in January 2027. Even if a law passes, it would take time to write rules and certify clinics.
No. Service centers are licensed for psilocybin only. Psilocybin and ibogaine are different medicines with different risks, and ibogaine needs heart screening and medical monitoring. If you’ve used psilocybin recently, tell our doctors when you apply.
The Oregon Health Authority reports that more than 90% of the state’s overdose deaths involve fentanyl, meth or both. Deaths fell to about 1,100 in 2025, down from 1,833 in 2023, but the rate is still far above where it was before fentanyl arrived. How we treat fentanyl dependence →
Many Oregonians use fentanyl and meth together, and we plan for both. There are no human studies of ibogaine for meth yet, only small studies on cocaine and crack, and meth needs to be out of your system for several days before a flood dose. Ibogaine and meth →
San Diego International (SAN). From Portland it’s a direct flight on Alaska or Southwest. Please don’t book into Tijuana’s airport; we arrange your ride from San Diego.
Yes. To drive back into the US you’ll show a US passport (book or card) or a trusted traveler card such as SENTRI or Global Entry. Make sure yours hasn’t expired before you book.
Count on about eight or nine days in total: the seven-night program and a day of travel at each end. Switch days for fentanyl, methadone, Suboxone or kratom come on top of that, at the start of your stay.
No. Ibogaine isn’t FDA-approved, so neither the Oregon Health Plan nor private insurers cover it, and we don’t accept insurance. The program is self-pay, with a discount for veterans and first responders.
No. Oregon, San Diego and Rosarito are all on Pacific time, so your sleep schedule and your family’s calls line up the whole time you’re away.
Yes. With your permission, our team can keep your family updated during your stay, and they can call us with questions before and after treatment.
Rosarito is a small beach town that’s popular with visitors from San Diego. You stay at our clinic with staff around the clock, and we arrange your ride to and from the border, so you don’t spend time on your own in unfamiliar places.
Yes. Veterans and first responders from Oregon and every other state pay less for the program. Ibogaine for veterans and first responders →
Yes. Keep taking everything you’re prescribed until our doctors have reviewed your list. Some medications need to be adjusted or paused before a flood dose, and they’ll tell you exactly which ones and when.
Quite a lot. Oregon has peer-run recovery community centers, integration therapists and circles, and daily recovery meetings. You can also dial 211 anywhere in the state to find local services. Before you leave us, we help you choose what fits and make the first connections.
No. Ibogaine isn’t FDA-approved, and the studies so far are small. Many people report that withdrawal eases and cravings go quiet for a stretch, giving them room to rebuild. What you do with that time, and the support around you at home, makes the biggest difference.
