Summary
A single psychedelic session dramatically improves engagement with 12-step recovery programs for substance use disorders. Among 50 participants, 75% reported significantly greater spiritual connection and program participation after one session. This led to a 40% reduction in substance use days over three months compared to a control group. This approach offers a promising, accessible path to bolster community-based recovery, enhancing long-term abstinence for individuals struggling with addiction.
