Psychedelics have long been used by psychotherapists. Only in the last 24 months have these compounds started to work their way back into the medical system after a decades-long prohibition.

Psychedelic Retreat Centers
Entheogenic plants come with a long history of tradition. Retreat centers are the best place to get an authentic experience from these substances. They’re led by an experienced shaman or facilitator to help guide you through the experience.
Ayahuasca Retreat Centers
Ayahuasca is a powerful plant medicine that requires the utmost care and respect to use effectively.
As the practice of the ayahuasca ceremony becomes more popular, unethical practitioners and participants seeking the brew for the wrong reasons are becoming more common.
Here are some of the top recommendations submitted by our readers:

Psychedelic Education, Training, & Online Courses
The world of psychedelic facilitation and therapy is still in the early days — but we’re on the brink of a large-scale reshaping of the way psychedelic substances are viewed by the medical field, government regulators, and the general public.
We’re going to need a lot more psychotherapists trained in how to use psychedelics as part of therapy, as well as good psychedelic facilitators and coaches to meet the demand for this new field of medicine and personal development.
Here are some of the best accredited and non-accredited training programs covering the field of psychedelic therapy and facilitation.
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Programs
A psychedelic therapist is a psychotherapist or other registered health practitioner who uses psychedelic substances (usually ketamine, psilocybin, or MDMA) as part of their therapeutic process and prescription.

Psychedelic Coaching & Facilitation Training
A psychedelic facilitator or coach isn’t necessarily formally trained in psychotherapy. They aren’t there to treat or diagnose any illness, rather, their role is to support someone through their own healing while they self-administer psychedelic substances.
They act as both a trip sitter during the experience and a coach or guide afterward to assist with the psychedelic integration process.
