Novamind Launches New Psychedelic Palliative Care Program
Patients in palliative care have higher rates of depression – could a psychedelic retreat change this?
Yesterday, Novamind (NM) launched a first-of-its-kind program to help both patients and their families cope with terminal illness.
The program, called “Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind”, combines psychedelic-assisted therapy with workshops, multi-day immersive retreats, and group support at its recently-opened clinic in Murray, Utah.
“Due to psychedelic medicine’s generally low side effect burden and fast-acting nature, it shows promise for patients who are physically ill and might have limited life expectancies,” said Novamind’s Chief Scientific Officer.
