Psilocybin-assisted therapy significantly improved abstinence and reduced relapse rates in people with alcohol use disorder. Across reviewed trials, participants maintained sobriety for months after treatment, showing strong emotional regulation and reduced craving intensity. When paired with psychotherapy, psilocybin’s effects were more durable and well-tolerated.
