Cindy Crawford’s son Presley Gerber said he was ‘terrified’ in raw addiction post months before death at 27 - Fox News

Months before his death, Presley Gerber shared a raw look at his battle with addiction and the treatment he hoped would help him find his way back to himself. In March, the model — who died unexpectedly in a rehab facility on Sunday — posted a video of himself preparing to undergo an "ibogaine flood dose," a psychedelic treatment, at a wellness clinic in Cancún, Mexico. According to Stanford Medicine, ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychedelic derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub. It has "gained interest from the medical and scientific communities for its potential to treat opioid and cocaine addiction, and research has suggested that it increases signaling of several important molecules within the brain, some of which have been linked to drug addiction and depression." The treatment is legal in some countries, but not in the United States.
