Anecdotally, there are many compounds/experiences that seem to be highly effective (even to the point of eliminating withdrawl symptoms): cannabis, ayhuasca/DMT, ibogaine, and other psychedelics.

Anecdotally? Where does that come from, do you have any sources?

Also, withdrawal is not the major problem when combating addiction.

I have not experienced it personally, nor do I personally know anyone who has experienced it.

I do personally know someone whom personally knows others who have directly experienced (high dose cannabis edibles for alcohol addiction). There are many claimed first, second, and third hand reports out on the Internet. There are also quite a few professional documentaries about the topic, many amatuer videos (directly capturing the experience and the people involved). I have also come across some peer reviewed literature as well.

I don't maintain a list of such reports and can't look for them at the moment, but they shouldn't be too difficult to find if you are interested.

It is not 100% effective. Some will definitly not change their behavior much, even though they claimed to want to.
