It’s a harsh reality: The path to recovery for most individuals struggling with Fentanyl or opioid addiction starts with getting through the withdrawal symptoms that occur when they stop using. Detoxing alone or in a facility that isn’t set up to provide medical assistance can not only break an individual’s resolve to keep going – it can be unsafe and even deadly. Holland Pathways offers state-of-the-art medically-assisted detox and uses innovative biometric data programs to make sure every person who comes to heal here has the comfort, safety, and support to succeed – through our addiction treatment program and in the long run.

😠 Missouri Lawmakers Not Using Opioid Settlement Funds for Proven Psychedelic Therapies I've seen how Iboga works with addiction firsthand. There are Ibogaine clinics that work with addiction.  But Missouri lawmakers don't seem interested in an addiction therapy that works.  Missouri lawmakers decided to pull $10 million earmarked for psilocybin research from the state budget. This decision came after a back-and-forth game where the initial proposal was to fund ibogaine research, which was then switched to psilocybin, and finally, stripped away entirely. The proposal initially aimed to utilize opioid settlement money for exploring the therapeutic potential of psilocybin as a treatment for opioid use disorder. However, the Senate Appropriations Committee decided to remove this allocation, leaving no funding for psychedelic research in the budget. Interestingly, there is still separate legislation moving through the Missouri House and Senate that could legalize medical psilocybin for military veterans and support future research.

Texas faces a growing epidemic of drug addiction and overdose deaths. Alarmingly, the state experienced a dramatic 66% increase in drug overdose death rates between 2011 and 2021. This rise led to a total of 2,770 deaths in 2021 alone. Texas also has an extremely high opioid overdose death rate of 24.7 per 1000 people, compared to the national average of 9.4. San Antonio faces an even more critical situation with the highest drug use rate in South Texas. These stats underscore the importance of addressing the challenges that hinder effective addiction recovery. At Ripple Ranch Recovery Center, we're here to change these statistics and create a healthier community — one individual at a time.
