Ibogaine, a substance discovered in plants from the West African rain
forests has been reported to
reduce both narcotic and cocaine withdrawal symptoms while concurrently
precipitating a process of
abreaction that attenuates or interrupts the craving to use drugs of high
abuse potential.
Ibogaine is equally effective in the elimination of withdrawal signs for
both short acting narcotics such
as heroin, or longer acting opioids such as Methadone.
The Ibogaine treatment procedure consists of a single oral administration
and is generally completed
in four days.
One of Ibogaine's interesting attributes is its ability to reveal and
affect the underlying trauma that
may have lead to self medicating and drug misuse. Ibogaine appears to
precipitate the release of
repressed memories providing the patient vital information and the clarity
to analyze the reasons for
their chemical dependence and most important, to admit that they require
the assistance of adjunct
therapy to modify their drug seeking behavior.
