Additional rcomendations may relate to a transition from criminal conduct with natural psychedelic substances, including punishment with civil penalties for nonviolent infractions to plant, cultivate, purchase, transport, distribute, or possess or otherwise engagem with natural psychedelic substances.

For individuals suffering from substance use disorder including co-occurring psychiatric illnesses, ATS provides a range of services including standard outpatient care (1-3 hours per week), intensive outpatient care (10 hours per week), and methadone maintenance.A structured “adaptive stepped-care" approach is used in ATS to determine the intensity of services needed to help patients gain control over their problem.
