Magic mushroom therapy trial aims to curb severe alcohol addiction

NCT ID NCT07296094

Summary

This study is testing whether psilocybin (the active compound in 'magic mushrooms'), combined with psychotherapy, can help adults with severe alcohol use disorder reduce heavy drinking and cravings. Thirty-six participants who recently completed alcohol detox will receive two therapy sessions with either a full or low dose of psilocybin. Researchers will track drinking behavior, safety, and brain activity for nearly a year to see if the treatment is effective.
