A review of 31 investigations involving 1,105 patients found that the use of LSD to treat alcoholics produced disappointing overall effectiveness. The studies varied widely: 13 were single large-dose studies without controls, 5 had controls, 4 used multiple low doses without controls, 3 had controls, and 6 were miscellaneous. Single doses ranged from 50 to 800 μg, multiple doses from 25 to 800 μg per dose, with total maximum doses of 100–6,400 μg across up to 6 doses. Follow-up ranged from none to 65 months. Different designs and criteria for improvement made meaningful generalizations difficult.
