This slideshow provides information about the compounds, clinically relevant attributes, approximate dose, and data under study.
Evidence suggests that classic hallucinogens may hold considerable promise in the treatment of substance use disorders, particularly given the unique mechanisms of these drugs, their low toxicity, the potential to induce lasting change after a few administrations (or even one) of the drug, and the limited efficacy of existing treatments. This slideshow provides information about the compounds, clinically relevant attributes, approximate dose, and data that have been studied in relation to substance use disorders. For more on this topic, see Innovative Strategies for Addressing Substance Use Disorders: The Classic Hallucinogens, on which this slideshow is based.
