Conditions

  • Methamphetamine Use Disorder

Interventions

DRUG

Psilocybin (single oral capsule administered at one of two dose levels, Dose A or Dose B; specific doses withheld during conduct).

The specific doses (in mg) are intentionally omitted from this registration during the conduct of the trial to preserve masking and reduce expectancy effects. The doses will be disclosed when results are reported after primary completion, by which point participants have been debriefed.

BEHAVIORAL

Manualized cognitive behavioral therapy platform (2 preparation + 2 integration sessions).

Manualized CBT, adapted from Hendricks et al. (2026; https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2848757)
