Who is Psychedelics in Recovery for?
Anyone who identifies as being in recovery from a behavioral or substance related addiction with an interest in integrating intentional use of psychedelics or plant medicine is welcome at Psychedelics in Recovery meetings.
What is the Psychedelics in Recovery program? Psychedelics in Recovery is an unincorporated fellowship of people from all 12-step programs and other paths of recovery who share our experience, strength and hope with each other. Our primary purpose is to pursue recovery and help others do the same, as defined by the individual. The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from our addictive behaviors and/or an interest in psychedelics as an aid to our process of recovery. Our members either have had prior experience with, or are interested in, integrating the intentional use of psychedelics and/or plant medicines into our spiritually-oriented program. PIR provides a safe space in which we can openly discuss the role of psychedelics in our individual recovery journeys.

While psychedelics are not considered inherently addictive, we practice mindfulness and accountability around the intentions we carry in the utilization of these medicines. We recognize that some in recovery may form addictive patterns with anything that induces altered states. If we find we are using these experiences in self-destructive ways or as a means to escape or avoid, we practice rigorous honesty with ourselves and trusted others in order to promptly restore a healthy recovery process. Traditional methods such as the 12-step program, pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), have provided support to millions. However, in recent years, there’s been growing interest in the potential of psychedelics as an aid to recovery. This emerging approach has even led to the formation of a unique 12-step group that incorporates psychedelics into its recovery practices.
The Role of Psychedelics in Recovery
Psychedelics, such as psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), LSD, and ayahuasca, have long been known for their mind-altering effects. Recent research suggests that these substances can have profound therapeutic benefits, particularly for those struggling with addiction. Psychedelics are believed to facilitate deep introspection, emotional release, and a sense of connection to something greater than oneself—all of which can be crucial elements in the recovery process.
Therapeutic Benefits
- Breaking Addictive Patterns: Psychedelics can help break the cycle of addiction by disrupting entrenched neural pathways associated with addictive behaviors. This can provide individuals with a fresh perspective and the ability to make new, healthier choices.
- Emotional Healing: Many people struggling with addiction have underlying trauma or emotional pain. Psychedelic experiences can bring repressed emotions to the surface, allowing for healing and resolution.
- Spiritual Awakening: Psychedelic experiences often include feelings of transcendence and connection to a higher power, which can be particularly resonant for those in recovery. This aligns well with the spiritual aspect of traditional 12-step programs.
