MDMA-Assisted Therapy in Vancouver

Unlock the potential of MDMA-Assisted Therapy through Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP), designed for those seeking innovative treatment options for complex mental health conditions.

What is MDMA-Assisted Therapy?

MDMA-Assisted Therapy combines the use of MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy) with therapeutic support to facilitate deep emotional exploration and healing. This approach leverages the unique effects of MDMA to enhance emotional openness, reduce fear, and increase empathy, enabling individuals to confront and process traumatic experiences more effectively.

MDMA-Assisted Therapy: A New Frontier in Mental Health

MDMA-Assisted Therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. By enhancing emotional openness and facilitating deep therapeutic exploration, MDMA provides a unique approach to addressing underlying issues that traditional therapies may not fully reach.

  • Currently, MDMA is classified as a controlled substance in Canada and is not approved for general therapeutic use. However, it is available through the Special Access Program (SAP) for patients with serious conditions who have not found relief through conventional treatments.

  • The SAP provides a pathway for healthcare professionals to access unapproved drugs, including MDMA, for individuals with serious or life-threatening conditions. This program is designed to facilitate access to innovative therapies under strict regulatory oversight.

  • MDMA is undergoing clinical trials to assess its efficacy and safety for treating conditions such as PTSD. These trials are paving the way for potential future approvals and broader access to MDMA-Assisted Therapy.

  • Our collaboration with TheraPsil enables us to offer MDMA-Assisted Therapy through the SAP. This partnership ensures that the therapy is delivered in compliance with regulatory standards, providing a safe and controlled environment for treatment.
