Psychedelic Peer Support Line

”For most people, medical support won’t be within reach during a challenging trip—or in the integration period afterward. It’s reassuring to know that affordable (i.e. free) support is not only available but also effective at reducing harm. So next time you’re spinning out, and it’s not a life-threatening emergency, you know what to do.”

PSYCHIATRISTS

The following are psychiatrists in the Twin Cities area who have excellent reputations in the community and with whom we have seen good results. You may also want to consider contacting your primary health physician; although it is not their specialty, family practitioners can prescribe medications.
