What are psilocybin services in Oregon?
In Oregon, “psilocybin services" refers to preparation, administration, and integration sessions provided by a licensed facilitator. During a preparation session, clients complete a set of required forms and determine whether they want to proceed with an administration session. After completing the preparation session, an eligible client may participate in an administration session at a licensed service center. The administration session is the only time a client may purchase and consume psilocybin products. For more information, please click:
What are psilocybin services?
How do I know if I am eligible for psilocybin services?Clients do not need to live in Oregon to access psilocybin services. To access psilocybin services, you must be 21 years of age or older. You do not need a prescription or medical referral.
Before participating in an administration session (the session when psilocybin is consumed at a licensed service center) you must participate in a preparation session with a licensed facilitator. As part of your preparation session, you will complete a
Client Information Form and other required forms. The licensed facilitator will use these forms to help determine whether you may participate in an administration session.
People who want to access psilocybin services must contact a licensed service center directly to schedule services. To find licensed service centers, you can use the
OPS Licensee Directory. This directory contains information provided by OPS licensees who have consented to have their information published. To start, you may want to only look at the listings under the license type “Service Center". From there, you can view the different websites and learn more about each licensed service center. Each licensed service center, and the licensed facilitators who work with them, manage their own operations and communications with clients. It may take some time to connect with a service center and schedule a preparation session.
How much does it cost?Each licensed service center, and the licensed facilitators who work for or with them, will set their own costs.
How do I know if psilocybin services are a safe option for me?
During a preparation session you will work with a licensed facilitator to review the client information form, the informed consent, client bill of rights, accessibility needs, safety and support planning, and transportation planning.
The answers on the
Client Information Form may indicate that a client is ineligible to receive services or requires an authorized client support person to be present during their administration session. A client determines whether they want to proceed with an administration session and the facilitator determines whether they will provide services to the client. Licensed facilitators may decline services to clients for any reason. For more information about scientific studies related to psilocybin, please visit the
Scientific Literature Review.
How do I choose and purchase psilocybin products?You can only purchase psilocybin products at a licensed service center during an administration session with a licensed facilitator. You may not purchase psilocybin products to consume off-site.
Your service center will share which product types they have available. This
Psilocybin Product Potency Information Document is designed to support client decisions on selecting a product type and dose that aligns with their intentions. The document explains different terms used in psilocybin product testing and where they can be found on product labels and other documents required to be shared with clients. OPS encourages facilitators to share and discuss this information with clients during preparation sessions.
How do I access culturally or linguistically responsive services?Licensed facilitators with diverse lived and professional experiences may support the health of communities through culturally and linguistically responsive services. Service centers and facilitators must be able to provide information regarding any culturally or linguistically responsive services they offer to clients to support client safety and access to services. This may include translation and interpretation resources or referring clients to other facilitators or service centers if the licensee is not able to provide culturally and linguistically responsive services requested by a client. The purpose of this requirement is to support clients and prospective clients in making informed decisions about choosing a service center and facilitator that meets their individual needs.
Licensed service centers and facilitators are also required to have social equity plans. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that every psilocybin licensee in Oregon considers how certain communities have been disproportionately harmed by systemic inequities and how they propose to address these inequities in their business practices. A Social Equity Plan is an opportunity for licensees to state specific commitments to social equity and how those commitments will be integrated into their business operations. Service centers and facilitators must make their Social Equity Plans and evaluation reports available to clients and perspective clients upon request.
