Iboga – update
Posted In: Health & Wellbeing
Underground treatment opportunities are available in the UK and Europe but come at risk to patient and healers, as the case of Sarah Glatt illustrates. A therapist who reported to have helped hundreds of people struggling with problematic habits, she was arrested in Norway in response to an international arrest warrant issued by the Dutch authorities.
In the UK there has been some discussion about possible application for the treatment of opiate addiction but practitioners tend to prefer the conventionality and convenience of methadone or buprenorphine, both synthetic analogues.
Interestingly, it is in the US, where poisonings resulting from the use of synthetic opiates are the primary cause of accidental deaths, that treatment breakthroughs are most likely. In the meantime patients can opt for centres in Mexico, the Bahamas or Mauritius where treatment comes at between US $ 7,000- 14,000. Enough to keep the punter in street drugs for a long time.
