Questions people ask
Where can I get help after a bad trip?
If anyone is in danger, call your local emergency number first. In the US, Fireside Project's peer support line takes calls and texts daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Pacific Time.
To talk an experience through afterwards, El Faro (ICEERS) offers free online integration sessions, and CPEP runs a free monthly online support group. If symptoms continue or get worse, see the clinics and the practitioner directory in section 3.
Is there a psychedelic support line outside the US?
Not yet in every region. Fireside Project's line is US-based. Outside the US, use your local emergency number in a crisis. For support afterwards, El Faro and the CPEP support group are online and open internationally.
Which of these services are free?
Fireside Project, El Faro, the CPEP support group and practitioner directory, and Reclamation Collective's groups are free. Clinics and individual practitioners usually charge fees. NEST accepts some insurance plans for eligible clinical services.
How long do post-psychedelic difficulties last?
Most difficulties fade within a few days. For some people they last longer, and that's when specialist support helps. Our symptom guides explain what each difficulty feels like and what has helped others recover.
