Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Substance Use Disorders: A Pilot Efficacy Trial (Strengths and Limitation)

  1. Strengths: First random controlled trail (RCT) evaluating the efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention for substance use disorders and the prevention of relapse.
  2. Strengths: Provides preliminary support for feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of mindfulness-based therapies for substance use disorders in an ethnically diverse and challenging population, with high rates of homelessness and involvement with the legal system
  3. Limitation: examine effects of MBRP on long-term outcomes: results in two thirds of individuals relapse within the first 3 months following treatment, hard to find significant between-group differences
