Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for methamphetamine dependence: a case report involving daily methamphetamine use
Frontiers in Psychiatry December 6, 2024 Jonathan Brett, Elizabeth Knock, Kathy Watson et al. 7 citations
A daily methamphetamine user, a 36-year-old transwoman, achieved sustained abstinence and improved mental health after a single session of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy following inpatient withdrawal management. She reported increased self-esteem, mindfulness, and distress tolerance over three months. The case suggests that psilocybin-assisted therapy may offer a scalable, safe, and effective approach for treating methamphetamine dependence, though further research is needed to confirm generalizability.
