A 37-year-old woman with a 19-year history of severe opioid use disorder, who had never achieved more than two months of continuous abstinence while on methadone, maintained an ongoing 18-month period of abstinence after a four-day ibogaine treatment. No safety issues were observed. The authors suggest that ibogaine may produce transformative experiences that lead to long-term remission in some treatment-refractory patients, but rigorous trials are needed to establish safety and efficacy.
