This is a common question, and one that can be complicated to answer. The main variable is what you consider to be success. Ibogaine is most effective at helping to transition from a dependent state to a non-dependent state. It is very effective at reducing short-term withdrawals and long-term depression. However, long-term abstinence is something that depends on many other factors that vary so much from person to person.

There are a number of observational studies that have documented the results of people who have through treatment. The results from these studies are very specific, but they may help to shape more realistic expectations about what ibogaine can do, as well as what other kinds of support are necessary afterwards.
