In a case series of 33 open‑label, non‑medical treatments for opioid detoxification, ibogaine resolved signs of acute opioid withdrawal without further drug‑seeking within 24 hours in 25 patients (sustained for 72 hours), with varied outcomes in the remainder and one possible fatality; the authors conclude that ibogaine’s apparent effectiveness warrants systematic clinical investigation.
