IHPI Ibogaine Healthcare Policy Institute Donate

Current systems are failing

The barrier is systems readiness.

Ibogaine is not yet positioned to be evaluated and integrated within U.S. healthcare in ways that meet payer, regulator, and health system requirements.

48.5M

Americans had a substance use disorder in the past year.

14.6%

Received treatment.

44%

Of those who receive treatment actually complete it.

$163k

Annual cost burden of opioid use disorder per patient per year.

80%

Reported opioid withdrawal eliminated or drastically reduced in a 2017 Johns Hopkins study.

83%

Remission rate for PTSD, depression, and anxiety in the 2024 MISTIC Stanford study.

SUD treatment status quo

Only 8 out of 100 complete treatment.

Current care pathways are not reaching enough people. IHPI focuses on the system conditions required for responsible evaluation, not on promotional claims.

Systems problem

Proof does not automatically become access.

Fragmented today

Signals exist, but institutions still see unresolved risk.

  • Cost uncertainty
  • Safety standards
  • Payer requirements
  • Coverage questions
IHPI infrastructure

Neutral tools translate uncertainty into decision inputs.

  • Policy pathways
  • Safety guardrails
  • Payer frameworks
  • Data and outcomes
Ready for evaluation

Coverage, delivery, and monitoring expectations align.

  • Coverage criteria
  • Site-of-care assumptions
  • Monitoring expectations
  • Implementation playbooks

Done correctly

Payers fund it. Systems implement it. Access scales.
