The Medicine Lodge / healing the mind?

Hi. I have a really touchy question that may be problematic for this forum, but I thought I'd try it anyway:

I have a young friend who has severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He had read some information online about the effectiveness of hallucinogenic mushrooms for nullifying the brain triggers for this disease. The problem, as you know, is that obtaining these mushrooms is illegal.
Well, somehow he was able to get a batch of high potency mushrooms and tried them. There was some result, but certainly not a healing of his mental illness (as he'd hoped)
I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with this kind of thing - or if anyone knows of a practicing shaman in the Boston area who can work with OCD - either thru peyote, mushrooms or soul retrieval.
This poor guy keeps in his room 24 hours a day - except for when he goes to therapy.
I'd love to see him healed. He's a smart and dear person.
