MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for AUD: Bayesian analysis of WHO drinking risk level and exploratory analysis of drinking behavior and psychosocial functioning at 3 months follow-up

In an open‑label feasibility study of 14 recently detoxified participants, Bayesian analysis estimated a 55–63% probability that MDMA‑assisted psychotherapy produced a two‑level reduction in WHO drinking‑risk at 3‑month follow‑up, with preliminary reductions in alcohol craving and improvements in sleep and psychosocial functioning. The paper frames a harm‑reduction endpoint for AUD and provides early evidence that MDMA‑assisted psychotherapy may improve quality of life alongside reduced drinking.

Reduction of alcohol use and increase in psychological flexibility after a naturalistic psychedelic experience: a retrospective survey

In a retrospective survey of 160 people, a naturalistic psychedelic experience was associated with significant reductions in drinking days per week and AUDIT scores and with increased psychological flexibility. Greater reductions in alcohol use were linked to higher baseline AUD severity and lower baseline psychological flexibility, and were associated with the intensity of the mystical experience and with increases in psychological flexibility.
