It's pretty easy to get a suit with +200 affluence on it, which enables you to enter the Hookah Den. Coupled with a teddy bear, you can remove 2 madness levels in 8 hours. Let your head bob while smoking the hookah around 4 times and then move. You'll get some inspiration (in the tens of thousands) and it will remove a madness level. I hear you can do more head-bobs if your character is strong. I do 5. Don't wait too long or you will be stunned, not receive the benefits, and not be able to try again for 24 hours.
I don't really talk about madness a lot because I don't know much about it. I don't live in darkness and I don't do things that increase madness a lot directly (e.g., sifting through whale innards) or indirectly (e.g., having to stay online for very long periods of time because of crime debuffs). I've never been above lvl 3.
