In short, the published science says to addict the patient to methadone or suboxone instead of whatever they are on, for a lifetime of perpetual treatment. Actual drug users are likely to recommend using kratom to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and ibogaine (or another powerful hallucinogen) to permanently remove the addiction. "Science" does not recommend this, because politics has made the hallucinogens--and research into their therapeutic uses--at least as illegal as the opioids that cause all the problems. As someone with an opioid addiction is likely already routinely breaking some rather serious laws, and frequently courting sudden death by overdoses or adulterants, it may be worth trying the single dose of ibogaine before choosing the lifelong maintenance therapy.
