Colorado Launches Psychedelic Therapy Program

Colorado is preparing to launch its psychedelic therapy program, with applications for licensed treatment providers set to open by December 31. This initiative is seen as a potential national model for using psilocybin to treat mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Meanwhile, the PNW Integrative Center in Portland has begun offering psilocybin services integrated with mindfulness practices, emphasizing holistic approaches to wellness. The Compassion Center is also expanding into Colorado, providing psychedelic-assisted therapies that combine indigenous practices with scientific methods. This collaborative approach aims to enhance the efficacy of mental health treatments and make them more accessible. Supporters anticipate that these developments could influence federal policy on psychedelics in the future.
