Novamind Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Arizona-based Clinics

We are pleased to announce the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Arizona-based Foundations for Change, a mental health practice specialized in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, from its sole stockholder, Jeff Edelman. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in January 2022.

Opened in 2017 by Jeff Edelman, Foundations currently operates one outpatient mental health clinic in Peoria, Arizona with an annual revenue run rate in excess of US$800,000 and owns a second, larger location in Phoenix that is scheduled to open in early 2022. Foundations will temporarily operate as “Foundations for Change by Novamind” until the Company completes its recently announced rebrand. Mr. Edelman will continue in a leadership capacity as Medical Director for both clinics. Mr. Edelman is double board-certified Family Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric-Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist.

With Health Care Workers Hurting, a Doctor Wants to See if a Psychedelic Can Help

NBC News reports on a first-of-its kind clinical trial at the University of Washington School of Medicine to treat 30 medical professionals experiencing depression with a dose of synthetic psilocybin combined with psychotherapy. Some say that even five years ago, this would have been considered taboo. “That medical researchers are turning toward psilocybin to treat colleagues is representative of a growing curiosity and acceptance of the drug among those in the medical establishment.” We’re seeing that openness, too, through our Frontline KAP clinical pilot to help healthcare workers heal.

Blossom summarizes the exciting progress made on treating eating disorders with psychedelics. It’s a passion which our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Reid Robison shares, working for years to bring innovative and effective treatment options to people suffering.

Three Canadians With Mental Health Conditions Receive Legal Access to Psilocybin Mushrooms

Three more Canadians received legal access in a big win  that “opens it up to everyone,” but there are still issues with the system overall. “The process is still broken.” The Vancouver Sun explores how even with such positive news, there is still a lot of ground to cover in Therapsil’s fight for expanded access to psychedelic medicine. 

Across the World, COVID Anxiety and Depression Take Hold

No. We are not out of the woods. The Omicron variant is spreading quickly and with it, a slew of public health restrictions and fears reminiscent of March 2020. What can’t get lost in the shuffle again is addressing mental health. Especially for those on the frontlines of healthcare. “This sense of endlessness, accompanied by growing psychological distress leading to depression, was a recurrent theme in two dozen interviews conducted in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. After two years of zigzagging policy and roller coaster emotions, terrible loss and tantalizing false dawns, closing borders and intermittently shuttered schools, people’s resilience has dwindled.” Frontline ketamine-assisted psychotherapy registration is still open for the next group of participants.

A weekly summary of Novamind news and media

Novamind Opens New Clinic with Specialized Focus on Substance Use Disorders

Salt Lake City Clinic welcomes incoming addictions specialist, Dr. Amy de la Garza

We are pleased to announce the opening of a new clinic located in downtown Salt Lake City (SLC). In addition to Novamind’s suite of mental health treatments, the SLC Clinic specializes in integrative behavioural health and services for adults with substance use disorders (SUD) led by incoming Medical Director, Dr. Amy de la Garza.

The SLC Clinic’s outpatient SUD services provide an alternative to residential treatment programs and work to address the highly complex public health crisis that is worsening alongside challenges related to access. In 2020 alone, 93,000 Americans died of a drug overdose-an increase of 30 per cent from the previous year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Reid Robison, Novamind’s Chief Medical Officer, commented: “Social isolation and despair related to the COVID-19 pandemic have further fueled a significant increase in substance use disorders and related deaths. Dr. de la Garza’s expertise in addiction medicine and behavioural health is a vital addition to our team as we continue to expand Novamind’s clinic footprint to address unmet need and broaden our innovative, evidence-based treatments.”

Dr. de la Garza is a board-certified family practice physician with 10 years of experience providing specialized care for patients with behavioral health and SUD diagnoses. She earned her Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Colorado before completing a Family Medicine Residency at the Utah Healthcare Institute. She also completed an Addiction Medicine Fellowship at the University of Utah and is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. In 2017, Dr. de la Garza opened the first community-based, co-located primary care and behavioral health practice in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“I am thrilled to join Novamind and look forward to establishing an innovative outpatient substance use disorder program that brings together addiction and integrative medicine and treats the whole person,” said Dr. de la Garza, who is also trained in integrative modalities and lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management and social connection.

Novamind will collect clinical data on the efficacy of the integrative treatment approach for SUD and host upcoming studies for conditions like opioid use disorder. Additionally, the SLC Clinic will pilot an innovative and cost-effective group medical visit model that has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression, as well as improve outcomes in chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The SLC Clinic is located at 807 E South Temple, Suite 101, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Opioid Overdoses Are A Raging Public Health Crisis, Driven Mostly By Illicit Fentanyl And Heroin

“While the U.S. has been battling Covid-19 it’s gotten lost in the shuffle that the nation had record numbers of drug overdose-related deaths in 2020; approximately 93,000. In addition, from May 2020 through April 2021, the figure rises to 100,000.” We need better treatment options for people with substance use disorders (SUD). It’s the driving force behind why incoming Novamind Medical Director Dr. Amy de la Garza will lead SUD programming at our new Salt Lake City clinic.  

Psychedelics are Poised to Change the Course of Mental Health Treatment

We are currently in a mental health crisis. Depression, anxiety and symptoms of PTSD have run rampant over the last two years, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its far-reaching effects. The need for new and effective mental health treatments has never been clearer. We have seen the efficacy of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy firsthand. And we are eager to continue psychedelic research. If you’d like to stay up to date on upcoming studies hosted by Novamind, visit us here and get in touch. “So what else does the future hold for psychedelics? For one thing, taking psychedelics could one day be the same as taking an everyday pill prescribed by your doctor.”

Psychedelics Can Change Humanity for the Better. It’s Time to Unlock Their Power

In a piece for The Guardian, psychedelic pioneer Rick Doblin explains how psychedelics can change humanity for the better. “We envision a day when psychedelics will be more than a last-ditch treatment: they will be a catalyst for mass mental health.” 

The Promise and Pitfalls of Psychedelics

The work to destigmatize psychedelics has been long and arduous. Just ask Rick Doblin. He’s devoted his life to it. But as more and more research comes out, more and more people are changing their opinion on the once villainized substances. “Public attitudes around psychedelics are shifting: A recent Nanos Research survey, commissioned by the Canadian Psychedelic Association, found that 82 per cent of Canadians are in favour of psilocybin-assisted therapy in end-of-life illness, while 78 per cent of those polled support legalizing it to improve the quality of life for palliative and end-of-life patients.”

Novamind Granted DEA Licenses for Psilocybin Research

We are pleased to announce we have been granted Schedule 1 licenses (the “DEA Licenses”) from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for Dr. Reid Robison, Chief Medical Officer, and Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer. The DEA Licenses are required for research sites planning to host clinical trials for psilocybin, enabling principal investigators to store and administer this controlled substance.

“Obtaining the DEA Licenses is a critical step towards hosting clinical trials for psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy,” commented Dr. Robison. “We’re proud of our clinical research organization’s track record investigating innovative solutions for central nervous system conditions. This milestone reflects our expertise and enables us to continue on our mission to create breakthroughs in mental health treatment.”

Psilocybin has shown significant positive outcomes for people with major depressive disorder¹ and for reducing anxiety and depression in people with life-threatening cancer.² As of today, there are over 50 clinical studies actively examining the use of psilocybin, as listed on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

“The DEA Licenses are timely,” said Dr. Thielking, who last week launched Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind, a first of its kind program to support the mental health of patients and families struggling with serious illness. “We anticipate that this progress will accelerate the approval process for us to become a research site for additional psychedelic clinical studies in the future.”

How COVID-19 Opened the Door to a New Era in Psychedelic Medicine

Time magazine writes how the burnout, trauma and stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is opening the door to accelerated psychedelic research. “It’s no coincidence that psychedelics are entering the conversation at the moment we most sorely need new ideas in mental health care. The world is experiencing mass trauma from COVID-19.” It’s especially true with frontline workers. The stats are alarming. The need has never been more apparent. It’s why we launched our Frontline Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy treatment program earlier this year. We’re providing healthcare workers with critical mental healthcare. You can learn more about the program here.

Will Australia Take a Lead in Psychedelic Therapy?

Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia is currently evaluating a proposal to reschedule two prominent psychedelics into a less restrictive classification. Mind Medicine Australia submitted the proposal to the government and “has the support of world leading experts in psychedelic research.” 
Novamind Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Reid Robison, will be presenting at the Mind Medicine Australia summit in November. Get your tickets here.

The New Cannabis?

Could psychedelics follow the same path of cannabis toward legalization and regulation for medical purposes? It’s a question Luis Millán asks for National Magazine. “Despite the legal uncertainty, business is hopeful. Some stock market speculators believe psychedelics will follow in the footsteps of the cannabis industry and become the next billion-dollar business.”

Novamind Launches New Psychedelic Palliative Care Program

We are pleased to launch Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind (the “Palliative Program”) at its recently opened clinic and research site in Murray, Utah.

Among the first-of-its-kind, the Palliative Program combines psychedelic medicine with psychotherapy, workshops, multi-day immersive retreats and group support for palliative care patients and families who are coping with chronic and serious illness.

“Patients receiving palliative care have higher rates of depression than the general population. Unfortunately, standard anti-depression and anti-anxiety treatments do not work for everyone, can cause side effects, and can take up to eight weeks to work,” explained Dr. Paul Thielking, Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of Novamind. “Due to psychedelic medicine’s generally low side effect burden and fast-acting nature, it shows promise for patients who are physically ill and might have limited life expectancies.”

Through Novamind’s clinical research division, the Palliative Program will host studies to investigate the use of psychedelic medicine including ketamine and establish the infrastructure for future clinical studies examining psilocybin. This work will build on notable studies from New York University and Johns Hopkins University, which demonstrated psilocybin’s significant immediate and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms in cancer patients.

Prior to his role as Novamind’s CSO, Dr. Thielking developed ketamine-assisted treatment protocols for cancer patients experiencing depression at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). He also pioneered an ongoing HCI study examining the feasibility of group-administered psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for cancer patients experiencing depression. Dr. Thielking leads the Palliative Program’s multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals specialized in palliative care and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

“Our healthcare system struggles to support the millions of Americans dealing with emotional, spiritual and psychological suffering associated with chronic or serious illness,” noted Dr. Thielking. “Psychedelic Palliative Care by Novamind is designed to address this need, bringing together fast-acting medicine, innovative treatment options and therapeutic expertise in a safe, nurturing environment.”

The Psychedelics Industry Could Offer a Whole New Approach to Work

In a collaboration with DoubleBlind magazine, Shelby Hartman and Madison Margolin explore how professional and economic systems are changing as the psychedelic revolution continues to grow. It’s not just about growth, though, but also the way we work. “What psychedelics offer is an invitation to look at professional and economic systems more, well, psychedelically.”

Psychedelics: Psychiatry of the Future

Covering Rick Doblin’s talk at the 2021 Annual Psychiatric Times World CME Conference, Leah Kuntz writes about what other conditions MDMA could treat including “depression, alcohol dependence, obsessive compulsive disorder, and even demoralization in AIDS survivors.” We look forward to further research on MDMA and will work to create treatment protocols for an array of mental health conditions, similar to our work with ketamine.

How Psychedelics are Returning to the World of Medicine

“According to estimates by the World Health Organization, about 300 million people worldwide live with depression.” It’s a stat that illuminates why there is so much urgency to bring psychedelic-assisted therapies to the world. We want to make a difference, to improve the quality of life for people suffering from depression and other mental health conditions, regardless of the psychedelic being used to bring about that lasting change. From Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Reid Robison: “I’m always touched by stories of hope and healing that come from witnessing the psychedelic modalities in action.”

Novamind Opens 6ᵗʰ Integrative Psychiatry Clinic, Adds 3ʳᵈ Clinical Research Site

We are pleased to announce the opening of our sixth integrative psychiatry clinic. The clinic is in Murray, Utah (the “Murray Clinic”).

The Murray Clinic also serves as Novamind’s third clinical research site, further strengthening the Company’s capabilities for serving drug developers via multiple sites and access to a large patient population. The Company anticipates 65,000 visits to its clinics this year.

“Bringing cost-effective and innovative psychedelic therapies to market requires a large base of diverse candidates and the expertise to safely and effectively run complex clinical trials in the right environment,” explained Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director. “We continue to build on our model’s proven track record through the expansion of our clinics and research sites, and we expect to scale this unique operating model into additional states in the near term.”

The Murray Clinic is the latest in Novamind’s ongoing clinic expansion, with two additional clinics slated to open in Utah by the end of 2021. The Salt Lake City location is scheduled to open in October, while the Park City location will open in November to accommodate the construction of the Company’s new flagship clinic design.

How Psychedelics Changed my Life

The evidence continues to grow in support of psychedelic medicine. In a piece for the Independent, Jonathan Sabbagh writes about how psychedelics, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in particular, changed his life. “For the first time, I understood the truth. My burnout wasn’t an end in itself. It was a symptom of a previously undiagnosed severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder.”

The Science of Psychedelic Therapy Breaks on Through

Axios breaks down why psychedelics matter, where they stand and what to watch for in the future. “Scientific studies of psychedelic therapies may be entering a new, broader phase thanks to more interest and funding from federal governments.” We will continue to research psychedelics and other innovative therapies at Cedar Clinical Research. CCR’s research sites are co-located with Novamind’s Cedar Psychiatry clinics allowing for large client population recruitment and providing clients access to innovative research stage treatments. And just this last week, we announced the opening of a new research site and clinic.

VIDEO – Delic Corp $DELC $DELCF Aims to Become “Largest Psychedelic Wellness Chain in the U.S.” via Ketamine Wellness Centers Acquisition $CMPS $ALID

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:43 PM on Friday, September 24th, 2021

How much is the market for psychedelics going to be worth?

According to one report published earlier this year by Data Bridge Market Research, it will reach $6.9 billion by 2027. Another report, from Research and Markets, predicts it will go further, reaching $10.75 billion by 2027.

In addition: California legislators are considering decriminalizing possession and sharing of psychedelics for adults 21 and older.

That’s the market context you need to know for Delic Corp, which bills itself as a marketplace for the mainstream to access psychedelic wellness.

Delic owns and operates an umbrella of related businesses, including trusted media and e-commerce platforms, including:

  • Delic Labs, the only licensed entity by Health Canada to exclusively focus on research and development of psilocybin vaporization technology
  • MeetDelic, the premiere psychedelic wellness event, which takes place in Las Vegas this year in November
  • and Ketamine Infusion Centers, one of the largest ketamine clinics in the United States

In May, Delic acquired Complex Biotech Discovery Ventures (CBDV), a federally-authorized psilocybin and cannabis research laboratory focused on extraction, analytical testing, and chemical process development, for $7m USD, changing its name to Delic Labs.

In June, Delic paid $3m USD to acquire Ketamine Infusion Centers, a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of Arizona, which owns and operates ketamine infusion treatment clinics in Phoenix, Arizona and in Bakersfield, California.

And now, Delic has this month entered into a binding merger with Ketamine Wellness Centers (KWC) Arizona, which operates 10 ketamine infusion treatment clinics across the U.S., in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada Texas and Washington.

The deal and the national presence will bring psychedelic wellness treatment to the masses, and makes Delic the largest psychedelic wellness chain in the United States.

  • Retail Footprint to Include 12 Open Locations, with 15 Additional Clinics in Development
  • Ensures Accessibility to Millions with Affordable Treatments and Insurance Coverage
  • KWC has been operating profitably and expanding significantly with 2020 revenues in excess of $3.5m USD, on track for $4.5m USD in 2021
  • Joining Ketamine Infusion Centers (acquired June, 2021), which has grown steadily with revenues in excess of $4.2m USD since 2019

We sat down with Matt Stang, Delic’s CEO, to delve further into the acquisition…
