The Potential Therapeutic Effects of Psychedelic, N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), on Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the psychedelic dimethyltryptamine (DMT), in addition to a short course of psychotherapy, on Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and desire to drink alcohol. DMT is a hallucinogenic drug that occurs naturally in certain plants. In this study, we will assess the effects of DMT on alcohol use and brain function, compared to an inactive compound. Participation includes a screening visit, fMRIs, a test day, one-night inpatient stay, and follow up visits. Total estimated compensation is $ 1,400.
