The International Federation for Ibogaine Providers (IFIP) is a global network of individuals, clinics, and organizations dedicated to the thoughtful use of the West-African shrub, Tabernanthe Iboga, and its derivatives for the treatment of addiction and enhanced psychological well being. Iboga has a long history of ceremonial use in healing and rites of passage. In modern society, a growing body of research and reports propose Ibogaine, one of its active molecules, as a highly promising tool in the therapy and recovery from drug dependence —promptly alleviating opioid withdrawal and reducing craving for substances such as stimulants, opioids, alcohol and nicotine, during several weeks to months— and psychotherapy.
It is our belief that iboga's extraordinary properties should be available to anyone in need if they fit the inclusion criteria. To this end, we have set the following goals in motion to help build and maintain a sense of community among providers and facilitate the growing interest in this unique medicine;

IFIP was founded in Sayulita, Mexico in March of 2009 at the First International Treatment Providers Conference.
