A single dose of LSD, administered as part of a structured psychotherapy program, was associated with higher rates of sobriety among alcoholics. In a study of 68 alcoholic patients, those who received LSD in addition to standard treatment showed a greater likelihood of remaining abstinent at follow-up compared to those who received only conventional therapy. The authors suggest that the drug may facilitate psychological insight and emotional release, though they caution that the results are preliminary and require further controlled investigation.
