Summary
This trial is looking at the effects of adding psilocybin to a buprenorphine/naloxone regimen in people with OUD. They will be looking at things like adverse events, quality of life, and pain.

Participants must have healthy kidneys, be able to understand English, and agree to use effective contraception. They should not be on methadone, under legal supervision that prohibits study participation, or have certain heart conditions or insulin-dependent diabetes.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effects of adding two doses of psilocybin to ongoing buprenorphine-naloxone therapy for OUD. It aims to see if psilocybin can improve self-efficacy, quality of life, and pain while maintaining the effectiveness of buprenorphine-naloxone.
