Irwin Naturals Agrees to Add Idaho Clinic to Its National Chain of Psychedelic Mental-Health Clinics - Seite 2

Irwin Naturals Emergence has previously reached agreements which will or have added 11 clinics across six different states: Ohio, Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, two in Georgia and five in Florida.

Building a national chain will offer some efficiencies and the savings that come from economies of scale. The incorporation of Irwin Naturals best practices will also help drive down operating costs, a savings that can be passed on to customers by providing sliding-scale discounts and even pro bono treatment for those in need.

But the biggest value may come from the customer trust that Irwin Naturals has built up over the past 28 years. It will be an ambassador for this new approach to mental healthcare.

Klee Irwin, Irwin Naturals CEO, “We provide a level of reassurance simply by being in this space. We’ve safely cared for your health needs for 28 years, and we will continue to do that with these new, life-changing treatments that it is safe, it is effective and it can provide relief to those in need.”

Currently, ketamine is the only psychedelic available for use in the United States outside of clinical trials. However, MDMA and psilocybin may be authorized for therapeutic use in the future. The effectiveness of these treatments in clinical trials points to the possibility of further revolutionizing the field mental-health treatment.
