Can a root that grows in West Africa successfully treat heroin addicts and break the cycle of addiction?

Dave is a former stockbroker whose life has spiraled out of control due to heroin addiction. A one-time millionaire, he is now reduced to petty theft as a means to supply his habit. Desperate to get help, Dave travels to Mexico for treatment with Ibogaine, a controversial plant-based drug reported to be the most powerful known treatment for drug addiction.

Facing the Habit is an intimate look into the life of an addict, before, during, and after this last-ditch attempt at hope.
