A new clinic in Pennsylvania could become one of the first legally-sanctioned facilities in the United States for using MDMA  on treatment-resistant PTSD.

The psychoactive drug MDMA, AKA ecstasy,  is now being recognized as a groundbreaking cure for emotional trauma. The FDA officially granted the substance a “breakthrough therapy” designation in 2017 after several studies proved its surprising success in treating PTSD.

In the studies, 107 participants with chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD were recruited to receive therapy, including several sessions over the course of one month. Two months after the treatment, 56% of the patients no longer showed symptoms that qualified as PTSD. At the 12-month follow-up, 68% “no longer had PTSD.”

The Landing medical facility, scheduled to open in Wyndmoore next month, will specialize in using several psychoactive drugs to treat a variety of mental health disorders. Particularly, it has been pushing to receive FDA approval on using MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for patients whose Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has been untreatable.
