Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, left Los Angeles International Airport Monday morning for a controversial rehabilitation program in Cancun, Mexico, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Mueller left around 7:40 a.m., with her personal physician, who will oversee her treatment in Mexico. Mueller has decided to proceed with an addiction program that isn't legal in the U.S. Mueller will be taking ibogaine, which is supposed to stop cravings for drugs.
Many U.S. medical experts concur about the dangers associated with ibogaine and the hallucinogen is classified as a Controlled Substance in the U.S. Ibogaine is approved in other countries, however, including Mexico, Canada, and elsewhere for the treatment of drug addicts.

"I have had this experience with dozens of patients, but most disturbingly these patients had persistent mood and personality changes," Dr. Drew Pinsky tells RadarOnline.com.
Mueller was discharged from a Los Angeles hospital Sunday night and checked into a hotel before leaving for Cancun on Monday morning. "Brooke is absolutely desperate. She wants to be sober, and she thinks that this could be just the thing that will do it. Brooke is aware of the dangers of ibogaine, but she is going to proceed anyway," a source close to the situation tells us.

Brooke will be in Mexico for seven days. Her children, Bob and Max, are being cared for by Brooke's aunt and nanny.

Seriously, though, like Lohan, the extent of her drug "problem" is mostly in the heads of obsessed Radar Online stalkers...

"Mexican Rehab", eh? So that's what they call marijuana bender south of the border?

These crash-rehab places want only money. They know they can't cure a drug addict in 7 days. They're hoping she has to come back and pay even more money for a follow-up when the first time fails. Brooke is an unhappy, unattractive, miserable woman.

Wow, for once I agree with Jill09(aka..Lohan) she needs at least a year in rehab. This venture will not solve her problems.

thanks but i'm not a lohan, just a lindsay fan and what i said could apply to her as well in terms of dealing with the underlying issues.

Don't worry about the a-holes here, every time I come to Lohan's defense, the peanut gallery here accuses me of being mommy or daddy Lohan...

I feel bad for her. This is like her 15th time in rehab. I sure hope this works for her. The grip of addiction is brutal. I feel bad for her kids. Their mom and dad are both addicts. Not good odds for one or both of em.
