Mindfulness and Meditation-Based Relapse Prevention for Substance Use Disorders
Completed
Conditions studied: Substance Use Disorders, Behavioral Health, Addiction Psychological, Addiction Disorders, Meditation, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Prevention
In brief
Mindfulness and meditation based relapse prevention has been proposed as an adjunctive approach for individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). This completed pilot observational case series describes outcomes from three de-identified participants who completed an eight-week mindfulness and meditation program designed to reduce stress, enhance coping skills, and support sustained recovery. Participants demonstrated improvements in perceived stress and mindfulness following the intervention. Two participants experienced relapse within 10-12 months, while one participant maintained long-term sobriety. This small case series provides descriptive clinical insights and supports the feasibility of mindfulness-based interventions in real-world treatment settings.
