We are studying MDMA-Assisted Therapy to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms and alcohol use. There is evidence that MDMA-Assisted Therapy can be very beneficial for PTSD and there is separate research showing a reduction in problematic drinking. This is the first study to look at these conditions together.
This is a pilot study funded by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies CADRE at Brown University.
