Episode Overview
- PIR's unique approach to discussing ongoing substance use within a supportive framework
- Origins and structure of PIR meetings, blending familiarity with innovative harm reduction strategies

- Exploration of harm reduction policies and the intersection between traditional recovery programs and psychedelics
Unlike any other fellowship, we have members who talk about ongoing, you know, quote unquote, illicit substance use according to federal governments. But kind of like a harm reduction service, we set ourselves up by saying, look, we don't necessarily endorse this strategy. We just recognize that people are doing it.
Imagine blending the ancient with the modern in addiction recovery. That's exactly what Kevin Franciotti, co-founder of Psychedelics in Recovery (PIR), is doing. In this episode of Root Medicine, Kevin shares his journey and the innovative methods PIR employs to help individuals heal. PIR stands out by integrating psychedelics into traditional 12-step programs, offering a fresh take on recovery that might surprise you.
From its origins to its growth, Kevin discusses how PIR meetings are structured, who can join, and the common criticisms they face. He also touches on the big question: Does using psychedelics in recovery increase the risk of relapse? With Amanda Siebert guiding the conversation, listeners get a deep dive into why this approach is gaining traction and how it fits within the broader recovery community.
Whether you're skeptical or curious, this episode offers a new perspective on healing from addiction.
