Psychedelics In Recovery
What is Psychedelics in Recovery?
Psychedelics in Recovery (PIR) is a community-based organization based in San Francisco (with online meetings oriented toward anyone in the USA, Europe, or the United Kingdom yet open to all worldwide every day at least once a day or more) that offers a support group model similar to AA or NA, but with a focus on integrating psychedelic experiences into the recovery process. PIR provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for individuals to share their journeys and explore how psychedelics can assist in overcoming addiction and fostering personal growth.
How It Works
PIR combines peer support with the exploration of psychedelic insights. Members use psychedelic experiences as tools to better understand themselves, address the root causes of addiction, and build a meaningful, sustainable recovery path. Meetings emphasize mutual respect, self-discovery, and shared learning.
Why It’s Effective
Unlike traditional 12-step programs, PIR recognizes the potential of psychedelics to catalyze profound healing and self-awareness. Research shows that psychedelics like psilocybin and ibogaine can interrupt addictive patterns, reduce cravings, and promote long-term abstinence by addressing trauma and fostering spiritual growth. PIR supports members in integrating these experiences into their daily lives for a holistic recovery process.
Why Choose PIR?
Non-Dogmatic: PIR encourages self-defined recovery goals, offering flexibility and inclusivity for individuals at any stage of their journey.
Spiritual and Therapeutic Growth: Psychedelics are framed as tools for healing, not escape, emphasizing their role in self-understanding and personal empowerment.
Community Support: Like AA, PIR relies on the power of shared experiences and community, but with a more modern, inclusive perspective.
How It Benefits Society
PIR offers an innovative model of recovery that reduces stigma, embraces diverse paths to healing, and fosters greater compassion and understanding around addiction. By supporting individuals in finding their own way to recovery, PIR builds healthier, more connected communities.
