Overview
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms. Like LSD, psilocybin is not physically addictive but can be psychologically habit-forming and carries risks including acute psychological distress, triggering latent mental health conditions, and dangerous behavior during intoxication.
You don't have to face this alone.

Research into therapeutic applications of psilocybin (for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and other conditions) is ongoing, and some jurisdictions have begun decriminalizing or creating regulated access. However, recreational use carries distinct risks, and psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law.
Treatment
Treatment for problematic use involves psychotherapy and support. Focus is on addressing psychological patterns of use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and building healthier coping mechanisms.
