A starting collection of resources for those exploring ibogaine — the books and research worth your time, and the Dallas-area support that exists for the work that comes before and after.
Because the question of where to receive treatment matters at least as much as the medicine itself, the clinic directory is maintained on its own page — with the safety standards, the questions to ask, and the red flags to watch for. We receive no payment, referral fees, or compensation from any clinic listed.

Find a copyA documentary following Dimitri Mugianis, a former heroin addict who became an underground ibogaine provider in New York City. An honest, unflinching look at the risks and rewards of unregulated treatment.
Find the filmA general-audience overview of the psychedelic research renaissance. Ibogaine isn't the central subject, but the broader regulatory and scientific context Pollan provides is excellent grounding.
Find a copyA long-form conversation with the former chair of Kentucky's Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission, who led one of the first state-level efforts to fund ibogaine clinical research — a policy precursor to what Texas later pursued.
ListenIbogaine treatment is not legally available in Texas — but the work that surrounds it (preparation, recovery, integration, ongoing support) is, and that work matters more than the session itself. A starting list of Dallas-area resources.
Established Dallas-area programs and meetings for substance use recovery. Many people find that ibogaine works best when paired with sustained, traditional recovery support — both before and after.
Free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral and information service operated by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The single best starting point for anyone in or near Dallas seeking help with substance use.
The county-operated behavioral health and crisis line for Dallas residents. Offers crisis support, screening, and connection to local mental health and substance use services regardless of insurance status.
Free 12-step peer support meetings for people recovering from drug addiction, with multiple daily meetings across the DFW metroplex. The Dallas Area NA office maintains an updated meeting list and helpline.
Free peer support meetings for people recovering from alcohol use, with an extensive in-person and online meeting schedule across Dallas and the surrounding counties. The intergroup office can help locate a meeting that fits your schedule and approach.
A secular, science-based alternative to 12-step programs, with a cognitive-behavioral framework. SMART meetings are available across the DFW area for those who want recovery support without the spiritual orientation of AA or NA.
For Dallas-area veterans, the VA North Texas system provides substance use treatment, PTSD specialty care, and traumatic brain injury services — the same indications driving Texas's ibogaine research investment. Mental health services are available regardless of discharge status for many veterans.
The single largest predictor of long-term outcomes after any major psychological experience — ibogaine or otherwise — is the integration work that follows. The directories below help locate Dallas-area therapists trained in trauma-informed and psychedelic integration approaches.
The most widely used U.S. therapist directory. Filter by Dallas, by specialty (substance use, trauma, EMDR), and by insurance accepted. A reliable starting point for finding a licensed therapist for ongoing integration and trauma work.
A list, maintained by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, of therapists who explicitly offer psychedelic integration support. Not all are local to Dallas, but several see Texas clients via telehealth, and the list is searchable by region.
Fluence is a leading training program for psychedelic-assisted therapists, and its provider directory lists clinicians who have completed psychedelic integration training. Searchable by state and specialty, with growing Texas representation.
