Treatment of alcoholics with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) and similar psychedelic substances has been practiced for over a decade, yet controversy persists about its effectiveness. Reported outcomes range from no change to very encouraging, with immediate improvements in attitudes and behavior often disappearing over the long term. This paper aims to clarify differences between immediate and long-term changes in alcoholics following LSD-25 treatment and suggests ways to better consolidate early gains. Previous information on LSD treatment results has come from studies of the treated individuals themselves.
