A short treatment with noribogaine shows promise for treating drug dependency. Many opioid addicts are treated with methadone. Giving noribogaine to mammal concurrently being administered methadone surprisingly exacerbates methadone's negative side-effects, and increases the risk of death. Therefore, prior to noribogaine treatment, a patient on methadone therapy undergoes a period of methadone abstinence to wash out the methadone. Surprisingly, noribogaine does not react negatively to morphine. According to the invention, methadone regimen is replaced with morphine prior to noribogaine treatment.
