The drug is Ibogaine. It's less mystery more red tape and anecdotal evidence. People swear by it (anecdotal) but the heart issues (red tape) led to it being illegal.

Ibogaine. Yes it works to cure adictions, and yes it can kill you due to impacts on the heart. Fully healthy people with no known heart conditions do drop dead occasionally while using Ibogain. Also you might have the worst trip of your life, like dragged down by a demon into hell style, or you might see the blessed virgin and be bathed in rainbows and forgiveness and come out a new person. You never know.
Generally more people have positive experiences and outcomes than negative in a clinical/therapeutic setting. Is it worth the risk? That's up to you.

From Wikipedia:
Ibogaine exhibits complex pharmacology by interacting with multiple neurotransmitter systems, notably affecting opioid, serotonin, sigma, and NMDA receptors, while its metabolite noribogaine primarily acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and κ-opioid receptor agonist.
Yeah, not surprised it kills addictions to other drugs. It's all of them at once. A one-stop shop. The fucking Walmart Supercenter of psychoactive compounds.
