How Safe is the Treatment? When administered in a medical setting by trained personnel, the Ibogaine protocol is a relatively safe and highly effective detoxification treatment. Ibogaine is safer than Methadone and is certainly a better and safer alternative relative to continued use of street drugs (often cut or manufactured with Fentanyl) where the possibility of an overdose is always a potentiality. Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance has a great summary page on Ibogaine safety.
