This amendment asks the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to study how it could start offering psychedelic therapies to veterans. It focuses on finding out what changes the VA would need to make to its clinics and hospitals to support these treatments for conditions like PTSD and substance use disorders.
If adopted, this would force the VA to create a roadmap for integrating new and potentially controversial treatments into its healthcare system. This is a step toward making these therapies available to veterans struggling with treatment-resistant PTSD or addiction.
Veterans with mental health conditions and VA medical staff would be the most directly affected by future changes to healthcare options.
