Pending state regulatory approval processes, psilocybin-assisted therapy may become legal for licensed therapists to use with Colorado-based clients sometime in 2025. Clinical research has indicated that this type of therapy will require a significant financial and time commitment from clients seeking treatment.
We anticipate that only people with long-term, significant mental health issues will be eligible for this type of treatment. When working with a licensed therapist, this will not be for people looking for microdosing or a recreational experience—it will be for intensive therapy. Based on clinical research, we anticipate that state regulations, prescription costs, and treatment protocols are likely to price it that way.
We've had over 2,000 people express interest in Psilocybin-assisted therapy, but most people choose
Ketamine-assisted therapy (or
at-home treatments if they're outside of Colorado) or explore other traditional therapy options, like
EMDR, once they're aware of its potential cost and requirements.
This form is to help
clients who live in Colorado express serious, non-binding interest and explore eligibility for psilocybin-assisted therapy once it's approved for therapists to use with clients in Colorado.
- Recent clinical studies have estimated that treatments will cost between $7,638 and $9,532. If medication and prescription prices actually end up higher or lower, we will adjust accordingly.
- Psilocybin-assisted therapy is unlikely to be covered by any type of insurance, including Medicaid.
- We can only work with clients in Colorado and are unable to accept Medicaid, Medicare, or Tricare.
- Due to anticipated regulations, it's likely that some conditions and drug interactions will make people ineligible for psilocybin prescriptions.
