Psychedelics in Recovery: Insights with Dr. Rakesh Jain

While I do fully understand the risk of addiction and diversion used with thought, used appropriately, there is shockingly great potential for multiple psychedelics to help with multiple kinds of addiction problems.
Can psychedelics be a game-changer in treating addiction and mental health issues? In this episode of the Recovery Plus Podcast, Dr. Mei-Li Hennen sits down with Dr. Rakesh Jain, a seasoned psychiatrist and researcher, to tackle this very question. Dr. Jain brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive background in psychiatry and public health, shedding light on both the promising benefits and the potential risks of using psychedelics as a treatment option.
From his early days being taught to avoid psychedelics to now advocating for their potential benefits, Dr. Jain's journey is both enlightening and thought-provoking. He doesn't shy away from discussing the controversial aspects, including the effectiveness of microdosing and the critical role of follow-up care and intention setting in psychedelic therapy. The episode also dives into the current landscape of clinical trials for substances like psilocybin, offering listeners a comprehensive view of where the science stands today.
Whether you're curious about the science behind psychedelics or looking for new perspectives on addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable insights that could change the way you think about recovery.
