Do you love someone suffering from addiction, depression, and/or anxiety? Most of us do. These common conditions seem to have become even more prevalent during the pandemic and the political/social turmoil in recent years. Psilocybin-assisted counseling has proven to be effective in treating these conditions and other mental illnesses.
Washington state ranks 3rd in the nation for mental illness among adults (nearly 24% of the population), and a government survey ranked Washington 49th in the nation for psychiatric bed capacity. State payments to five private psychiatric hospitals nearly tripled over five years, totaling almost $67 million in 2018, and the near-term projection (including the construction of additional hospitals) totals $1 billion. With the mental healthcare crisis on the rise and a significant shortage of resources, our state and our nation clearly need more effective treatment options.
Our Mission
ADAPT (Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Plant medicine Treatment) is a grassroots organization based in Washington state. Our mission is to advocate for the responsible use of psilocybin-assisted therapy in clinical settings for mental health treatment. We believe that psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms, has the potential to revolutionize mental health care.
Why Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Matters
- Efficacy: Research suggests that psilocybin can have profound effects on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It has shown promise in providing relief where traditional treatments have fallen short.
- Holistic Approach: Psilocybin-assisted therapy takes a holistic approach, addressing not only symptoms but also underlying emotional and psychological issues. It allows individuals to explore their consciousness and gain insights that can lead to lasting healing.
- Reduced Stigma: By advocating for psilocybin-assisted therapy, we aim to reduce the stigma associated with mental health treatments. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe and effective options.
Outside of clinical studies, psilocybin-assisted counseling is not currently available— but that may be quickly changing as state across the country propose medical uses of psilocybin. Pioneering research by institutions like Johns Hopkins and UCLA has shown that psilocybin therapy, when done by trained professionals, can help people break through a variety of mental health conditions. The Psilocybin Services Act for Washington would create a new program that would allow people to get access to psilocybin-assisted counseling to treat depression, anxiety, and addiction without a specific diagnosis — potentially helping thousands.
