Alcoholism and psilocybin therapy.

Psilocybin mushrooms have been dramatically effective in addiction, and have been studied at universities such as John Hopkins University, with particular attention to alcoholism, where it has had a significant effect on subjects. In the USA, psilocybin is being discussed as a new treatment for alcohol dependence, Psychedelic drug helped people with alcohol use disorder reduce drinking, study shows.

Here, Psychedelic drug helped people with alcohol use disorder reduce drinking, study shows, NBC News Alcoholism Treatment to show that psilocybin and talk therapy are effective in clinical trials.

During my training as a psilocybin facilitator, I had the opportunity to attend a psilocybin session with a Japanese client as an interpreter. It was her first time taking psilocybin, but her son, who lives in the USA, sought a facilitator for his mother’s alcohol treatment, booked this new psilocybin session and in December 2023, when she was in Oregon to treat her alcohol dependency, she She received a psilocybin session.

Please click here to watch a video in which Ms Naoko Miki of Green Zone Japan interviewed her about what kind of psilocybin session she had and I talked with her about it, and you can read more about it here. It is only Japanese, and there is no English translation.

She had four months of sobriety after one session, which was sustained after her return to Japan. However, she is due to have a second psilocybin session in 2024, as she was having difficulty sustaining the post-session integration sessions (talk therapy) and was getting back to her in Japan.

Psilocybin sessions started in Oregon in late 2023 for the first time in the world. I believe she was the first Japanese person to receive a session. I myself was still in training at that time and participated as an interpreter. Psilocybin sessions in Oregon can have interpreters in Japanese. However, it is difficult to find an interpreter who understands the altered states of consciousness during psilocybin intake and can accompany you safely and effectively during the session. I am offering a retreat plan in Southern Oregon, where I live, from June 2024, where sessions can be conducted in Japanese without an interpreter.
