I wouldn’t call it treatment for #opioid “#addiction” but rather a way to reduce opioid-related deaths. Also a pretty small sample size in sample w/ low external validity since RI is fairly unique. Regardless, it’s important to test these types of programs & fund research.

Is there a reason why you put addiction in quotation marks? Also, there’s plenty of other data that shows that OAT/MAT works, full stop. This study just highlights a unique situation where it was implemented.

As usual, take away one opioid and replace it with another. People have also been addicted to methadone and suboxone for many years. Big pharma loves it. They get the profits from either one or the other. More studies need to be done with non-opioids such as ibogaine. 1/

From what I've read, Ibogaine has had huge success rates for many addictions. But it's illegal in the U.S. and some other countries. Why? Because it's a natural herb that big pharma cannot profit from. We need to quit substituting one opioid with another. The testimonies 2/

I've read, people say that one or two treatments with Ibogaine and some ongoing therapy afterwards and they have no withdrawals or need to use again. This is the type of treatment we need. Cut out big pharma.

Preventing death is clearly important. In Being Mortal you discussed problems with safety being the outcome that overrode all others. What other outcomes are important? What does their global wellness look like? What care would facilitate full recovery from a treatable condition?
