I heard this drug can cure heroin addiction. My roommate's brother has been addicted for 7 years. It's gotten so bad, he has paranoid hallucinations. He's 37 years old and his mother is sort of enabling by letting him him in a trailer in their yard. His addiction is causing so much stress with my roommate, it would be great to help.

It is possible that it can help to at least alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. However, it is used mainly for opioid addictions (heroin being an opioid). There are no (accepted) pharmaceutical treatments for methamphetamine addictions.

Firstly, I would like you to know I am a recovered addict that actually looked at this treatment as a possible option, around 3 years ago. Supposedly the plant known as "Iboga " has been known to treat addiction to hard drugs, most notably heroin. The patient undergoes a very serious psychedelic experience that is supposed to scare them from ever using hard drugs again. It gets more in depth than that, but its supposed to be an extremely scary and intense experience. I would *really* not recommend something like this. The best thing to do is to get him to some kind of detox/ rehab facility where he can get medical attention, no matter what you have to do. I hope all goes well for all of you! <3

DUDE! You're in alternative medicine and we don't do drugs here! It's like going the hardware store for some bread, dude. You wouldn't go to the NAACP and ask them how to join the KKK now would you!?

Ibogaine can help your friend with meth addiction. I wouldn´t use the word cure because he needs to do most of the work himself. Ibogaine can provide a fresh start with reduced cravings. Visit ibogaine-treatment.com for more information. Thanks
