[OR] First legal psilocybin program of its kind in U.S. opens in Rogue Valley

First legal psilocybin program in U.S. opens in Rogue Valley
September 13, 2023 - KDRV



ASHLAND, Ore. – Moksha Journeys is partnering with Omnia Group Ashland to run a 28-day, psilocybin-assisted recovery and retreat program. This is the first program of its kind in the United States.

Moksha Journeys' program aims to help people struggling with addiction and is open to anyone 21 and older. Like a traditional rehabilitation facility, the end goal is to help the client recover from their addiction, but Moksha Journeys is taking a different approach. Moksha Journeys said the program is very individualistic and uses psilocybin to help change the client's mindset.

"People start being able to re-identify as who they are and drop the interest that they've had, the compulsion that they've had, to get involved with drugs and alcohol," said Rose Moulin-Franco, co-founder and CEO of Nexus Center for Consciousness and Moksha Journeys.

When a client enters the program, Moulin-Franco says a recovery coach and interventionist will come to the client and help them detox. Then, the client and the coach travel to Ashland, where the retreat and service center is located. All psilocybin services will take place at Omnia Group Ashland, a psilocybin service center. The rest of the recovery process will take place at the Moksha Journeys retreat.

"I think that's one thing that attracted me to this work, is just how individualized it is,” said Ben Randolph, a recovery coach and interventionist. “The cookie-cutter approach may work for some people but there's a whole lot of people that have special needs."

Both Randolph and Moulin-Franco said they’ve seen the benefits of psilocybin firsthand and that it doesn’t take long to start seeing results.

“We typically have them undertake two psilocybin experiences in their first week and we have seen on their evaluations that their numbers on cravings go completely down to zero after those first two treatments,” said Moulin-Franco.

"It's truly revolutionary and it's quick," said Randolph.

Studies show that psilocybin is effective in treating addiction. Now, people struggling with drugs or alcohol who weren’t successful in a traditional rehab facility have another option.

"The people that I've talked to, they know that what's been offered up until this point has generally been a failure,” Randolph said. “I think people are searching for something new. If their motives are right and they're in it for the right reasons, they want to see results. Just like all of us do."

It seems sad that this is "the first of its kind" when positive research results have been available for years. But, one step in the right direction is better than none, and if it sets even one life free from addiction, that's wonderful!
