Psilocybin for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Psilocybin for AUD

Psilocybin (the active component of “magic mushrooms") has shown evidence in the treatment of various mental health related disorders. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) impacts large amounts of Canadians and more efficacious treatments are needed. Evidence has recently shown that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy may help some individuals in reducing their alcohol consumption. Importantly, the mechanisms by which this may occur is unknown. This CIHR-funded trial aims determine the efficacy of this treatment while exploring potential mechanisms that may drive these effects.

Recruitment for this trial has now begun. Please complete the following inquiry form to begin the screening process:
