Sorry! I'm not familiar with that treatment, so I cannot comment!

Question

I am an alcoholic and drug addict. I have been to rehab and detox and all that stuff a bunch of time. Nothing works for me. Should I go to Peru to try a treatment program based on Ayahuasca? It is supposed to work really well but it is pretty intense.

Research it well, and ask them for references you can contact.

Good luck!
