Session Summary

 
The use of psychedelics for treatment of mental health disorders has been an area of growing interest for patients, practitioners, and researchers in recent years. While not medications in the traditional sense, pharmacists treating patients with mental health and substance use disorders are likely to be looked upon to help facilitate and/or educate patients and their colleagues on the use of psychedelics, as well as any potential challenges posed by the practice. As more states legalize and/or decriminalize the use of these compounds, pharmacists play a key role in understanding the impacts of psychedelics. While the evidence is sparse, studies and reviews have examined the use of psychedelics for the treatment of various mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, mood disorders, anxiety, and substance use disorders. This program will specifically discuss the implementation of psychedelics for the treatment of substance use disorders.
