Psychedelic-assisted therapy
Mental illness is rising while development of novel psychiatric medications is declining. This stall in innovation has also been linked with intense debates on the current diagnostics and explanations for mental disorders. A novel approach is psychedelic-assisted therapy, which is professionally supervised use of ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, ibogaine, and ayahuasca as part of elaborated therapy program. Clinical results so far have shown safety and efficacy, even for “treatment resistant” conditions. The therapeutic potential of some non-ordinary states of consciousness is limitless.
At OMS we offer clients Ketamine assisted therapy, as MDMA and other medicines are not yet approved in the United States for use outside of clinical trials. Our patients are never left alone after receiving Ketamine in our clinical setting. They have a professional guide present to ensure they feel safe to explore their altered state of consciousness and comfortably navigate what may arise. We incorporate Internal Family Systems, Ecotherapy, group share sessions, meditation and yoga into our treatment approach to provide a mind, body, soul experience. OMS provides patients a non-clinical, relaxing environment that considers all senses. Each client is provided with black out eye masks, carefully crafted music for their journey, blankets for use on our comfortable furniture. Our healing environment will make you feel beyond at-home.
