Abstract
Though the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the fabric of American society in the span of less than two years, the far more insidious opioid epidemic has been slowly picking the nation apart for much longer. Declared a public health emergency by the Department of Health and Human Services in 2017, the epidemic has claimed the lives of more than 800,000 people in the United States of America. Ibogaine can not only protect the body from opioids’ dangerous physical effects, but also help break the deadly cycle of addiction. Rather than sideline its use, the neuroscience community should focus on improving ibogaine’s safety and incorporating it into current rehabilitation therapy to create holistic, augmented recovery plans.
