Psilocybin and Addiction Treatment
Psilocybin therapy may also help people with alcohol and nicotine addiction. Addiction affects people’s health, family, work, and future, so having more treatment options is important.
Alcohol and Nicotine Addiction
Some research suggests that psilocybin therapy may help reduce alcohol use and smoking when combined with professional support. However, it should not be used without rules because patients with addiction may have a higher risk of substance misuse.
Why Careful Rules Are Needed
Psilocybin therapy should include screening, monitoring, trained professionals, and follow-up care. This protects patients while still allowing them to access possible treatment.
