Ayahuasca Treatment Outcome Project (ATOP): One Year Results from Takiwasi Center and Implications for Psychedelic Science

This naturalistic study (n=52) assessed the one-year post-treatment outcomes of the Takiwasi Centre's ayahuasca-assisted program for addiction rehabilitation in Peru. Using various validated instruments, results showed significant group improvements from baseline to one-year follow-up in alcohol and drug use severity, depression, anxiety, and some quality of life dimensions. While there was individual variation in outcomes and treatment duration, most participants deemed all program aspects, especially the spiritual and therapeutic significance of the ayahuasca experience, as very important.

Purging to cleanse: a qualitative study of Ayahuasca healing at a drug treatment centre in Peru

Interviews with curanderos, plant preparers, and psychotherapists reveal three main explanatory models: spiritual-oriented, Amazonian-oriented, and clinical-oriented, all emphasizing the interconnectedness of purging and healing in Ayahuasca-assisted treatment for substance dependence.
