I've heard about it stopping withdrawal completely, unlike normal psychedelics
The experience is really intense, it's like going through withdrawals in one night instead of dragging it out. The discomfort is so much that it also kind of helps create a negative association with the substance which makes relapsing less likely
that sounds miserable tho
It's not fun at all, it really is just a last resort for people in immense trouble that need something to break them out of whatever is going on. I don't know about how it affects people with PTSD but for substance abuse it's a really hard experience to go through
