A variety of treatments are available, from therapies to medication to group meetings. Yet the rates of people recovering are very low. Only half of patients treated for a year recover.<\/p><p>Therefore, other ways of treating alcohol addiction and abuse are being actively sought. Psilocybin (the mind-altering substance in magic mushrooms) might help. In the past, Humphrey Osmond (he was the one who started using the term psychedelics for hallucinogens), did research on the effects of these drugs. He was also very interested in how psychedelics could help with addictions, especially alcoholism.<\/p><p>Between 1954 and 1960, he treated nearly 2,000 people suffering from alcohol addiction with LSD. On average, 40 to 45% of his patients stopped drinking completely one year after treatment. So although Osmond (and other researchers) were successful in using psychedelics, research came to a halt due to the &#8220;war on drugs&#8221; in the 1970s.<\/p><p>Only in 2014 were investigations restarted. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University did a pilot study of doses of psilocybin to see what effect it had on people who wanted to quit smoking. This was followed by other studies on the effects of psychedelics on addictions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c3b8f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2c3b8f1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a7f8c8c\" data-id=\"a7f8c8c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcd840b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bcd840b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Psilocybin for alcohol addiction: research  <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98aa63d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98aa63d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Mushrooms have been used for centuries, and among natural peoples this is also certainly because of their medicinal effects. In the West, we have only been researching the powers of psilocybin for a few decades, and it is now being increasingly used in mental health care.<\/p><p>Several clinical studies have been done, showing that the use of psilocybin can be helpful in mental disorders, such as:<\/p><ul><li>Anxiety Disorders<\/li><li>Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)<\/li><li>Depression<\/li><li>Addiction<br><br><\/li><\/ul><p>It is suspected that the reason psilocybin gives good results in therapy is that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41398-021-01706-y\">increases<\/a> cognitive flexibility. This means that it can promote the ability to learn and change behavioral and thinking patterns. The power of psilocybin in alcohol addiction and other mental symptoms comes from the fact that the substance interacts with the 5-HT2A receptors.<\/p><p>These are proteins that normally respond to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Psilocybin, through this interaction, can stimulate the production of BDNF, a molecule important for developing new connections between nerve cells. Because it creates more flexibility in the brain, psilocybin can be a valuable drug for alcohol use disorder. It can help people scrutinize their own behavior and change unhealthy habits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fa92a41 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fa92a41\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f44ffca\" data-id=\"f44ffca\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f64796 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0f64796\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26005\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/dutchmicrodosing-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dc8d8de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dc8d8de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5bf432b\" data-id=\"5bf432b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b02c44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1b02c44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Psilocybin in combination with therapy  <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54df5ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54df5ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There is also interest in combining psilocybin with therapy.

For example, the University of Toronto conducted <a href=\"https:\/\/harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12954-019-0308-4\">research<\/a> among 278 microdosers on their experiences of microdosing and alcoholism. This showed reduced dependence and fewer symptoms.<\/p><p>Other reports on well-known microdosing websites also show that microdosing can help people get rid of addictions, such as caffeine, smoking or gambling. It is still not really clear why microdosing can have such <a href=\"https:\/\/dutchmicrodosing.com\/en\/benefits-microdosing\/\">positive effects<\/a>, but even these low amounts of a mind-altering drug can potentially improve cognitive flexibility.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/10.1021\/acsptsci.0c00099\">Research<\/a> shows that taking a microdose of LSD, for example, can also increase BDNF in participants.
