The 1990s will forever be remembered as a strange era for mental health care and addiction in the United States. This was the decade of "heroin chic," which resulted in a shift from injecting opiates to abusing pharmaceuticals such as oxycodone and fentanyl.

It was also around this time that the ?psychedelic renaissance? emerged among American mental health professionals, and substances such as ibogaine were once again brought to the attention of researchers. Three decades into the opioid crisis and psychedelic renaissance, the annual rate of fatal opioid overdoses has increased significantly. Clearly, there?s an urgent need to open more methadone clinics, but some addiction recovery specialists argue ibogaine therapy would be a smart alternative.

After three decades, she had a moment of clarity letting her know the journey was over without having reached any particular destination. Through her analysis of peer-reviewed studies, Szalavitz shows she?s hardly alone in this style of recovery management.
