In this monologue, the speaker highlights the poor relapse rates of conventional addiction treatment—approximately 10–15% success in the first year of sobriety—and contrasts this with emerging interest in ibogaine in the United States. The speaker notes that ibogaine research and treatment programs are being funded through opiate abatement initiatives across several states. Reported ibogaine outcomes suggest roughly a 50% success rate, substantially higher than traditional methods. However, the speaker emphasizes that long‑term recovery still depends heavily on post‑treatment conditions such as the individual's environment, engagement in therapy, coaching, and other supportive tools.

Relapse rates related to traditional addiction are not very good. That's why there's such an interest in the US right now in ibogaine in general, because it's not working, right? It is a full-on epidemic that is killing more people under 40 than anything else right now. There's multiple state efforts happening right now for ibogaine, you know, ibogaine research and treatment using opiate abatement funding. So we know that in the first year that people try to get off drugs or alcohol, the success rates are like 10%. 15%, something like that. They are very low. And we know with ibogaine, they're closer to half that, half, 50%. And then, you know, depending on what people do afterwards when they go home, like their environment, how they choose to engage in therapy and tools and coaching and other tools. So the success rate's already much higher.
