Most people with substance use concerns who had used psychedelics in the past year thought that psychosocial support after their experiences would be useful. Of 108 participants, 94 (87.0%) considered integration support helpful. Among those interested, most preferred individual support led by a psychologist (67.0%) or a peer worker with lived experience of psychedelic use (58.5%), focusing on applying insights from the psychedelic experience to daily life (63.0%). The findings suggest potential benefits for offering such support and could be explored further with qualitative research.
