For many Australians seeking help for alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder or AUD), attempts at recovery are complicated by co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). New evidence supports integrated treatments, whereby the two problems of PTSD and AUD are treated together at the same time.
This study is investigating whether MDMA-assisted therapy is a safe and effective treatment for the management of both AUD and PTSD. While there is some evidence to show that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy may help reduce PTSD symptoms, there has not been a clinical trial to assess whether MDMA-assisted therapy could be beneficial for people with both PTSD and AUD.
