Colorado’s program is built around preparation, administration and integration. What each step covers, and the questions worth asking before you book.
Booking a licensed psilocybin service in Colorado is not a single appointment. The state program is organized around three parts: a preparation session, the administration session itself, and integration afterward. Knowing what each part is for makes it much easier to compare centers.
Preparation comes first
Before any administration session, you meet with the facilitator. This is where screening questions, your health history and your reasons for seeking the service come up. It is also your chance to judge whether you are comfortable with this person. If something feels rushed here, that tells you something.
Our guide to age, intake and safety questions lists what to have ready.
The administration session
This is the session where psilocybin is consumed, under the supervision of a licensed facilitator and at a licensed location. Centers set their own schedules, so ask how long they block out for the day, who will be in the room, and how you are expected to get home afterward. Plan for the whole day rather than squeezing it between other commitments.
Integration afterward
Integration is the follow-up conversation about the experience. Centers handle it differently: some include one or more meetings in the price, others charge separately. Ask for this in writing. Our self-pay cost questions can help you compare quotes line by line.
A short checklist before you book
- Ask for the center’s licensed name and license number, then check the license yourself.
- Ask who your facilitator will be and how to confirm their license.
- Ask which of the three parts the quoted price includes.
