What Exactly Is Ibogaine, and How Successful Is It for the Treatment of Opiate Addiction?

Question by Connie D: What exactly is Ibogaine, and how successful is it for the treatment of opiate addiction?
I was told of a new medication to help overcome an opiate addiction, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find out much about it. I believe that it is only available at a treatment facility located in New Mexico…so, it really makes me wonder if it’s even a legitimate treatment approved by the FDA. I also wonder if there have been many studies done on it, and what the statistics are concerning its rate of success.
