Psilocybin mushrooms, commonly known as magic mushrooms, have been used for centuries for their mind-altering properties. However, in recent years, researchers have begun to investigate their potential as a treatment for addiction, specifically to alcohol. The active ingredient in psilocybin mushrooms, psilocybin, has been found to help individuals overcome addiction by promoting psychological flexibility and reducing cravings. In this article, we will explore the use of psilocybin mushrooms to treat alcohol addiction, and share case studies from participants who have successfully quit drinking alcohol long term as a result of treatment.
Psilocybin’s Potential for Treating Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there are many treatment options available, such as therapy and medication, these methods do not work for everyone. Psilocybin mushrooms offer a promising alternative for those struggling with alcohol addiction.
A study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that psilocybin-assisted therapy was effective in treating alcohol dependence. The study followed 10 individuals who had a history of alcohol dependence and who had been sober for at least 3 months. Participants were given a single dose of psilocybin and participated in a therapy session. Six months after the treatment, 60% of the participants had maintained abstinence from alcohol.
Psilocybin can help individuals overcome addiction by promoting psychological flexibility. This is the ability to adapt and respond to changes in the environment or situations without becoming emotionally overwhelmed. It also helps to reduce cravings by altering the brain’s reward system.
From Addiction to Sobriety
“I had been struggling with alcohol addiction for years. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to break the cycle. A friend suggested that I try psilocybin therapy at Sayulita Wellness Retreat, and I decided to give it a try. The experience was life-changing. During the therapy session, I was able to confront the underlying issues that were driving my addiction. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Since then, I have been sober for over a year and have never felt better. I can’t thank the team at Sayulita Wellness Retreat enough for their help and support.”

A New Lease on Life
“Before I started psilocybin therapy, I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of addiction. I had tried everything, from therapy to medication, but nothing seemed to work. I decided to give psilocybin therapy a try at Sayulita Wellness Retreat, and it was the best decision I ever made. During the therapy session, I was able to confront my addiction head-on and gain a new perspective on my life. Since then, I have been sober for over two years and have never felt better.

“Before I tried psilocybin-assisted therapy, I had been struggling with alcohol addiction for years. I had tried everything from 12-step programs to medication-assisted treatment, but nothing seemed to work. I was skeptical about using magic mushrooms for addiction treatment, but I was desperate for a solution.
After my first session, I felt a sense of clarity and calm that I had not experienced in years. I was able to confront the underlying issues that had led to my addiction and gain a new perspective on my life. Over the course of several sessions, I was able to overcome my cravings and develop a deeper understanding of myself. Today, I am proud to say that I am sober and living a fulfilling life thanks to psilocybin-assisted therapy.”
