Interventions

  • Mindfulness based relapse prevention — BEHAVIORAL
    Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) is a group-based treatment to provide individuals with skills intended to foster increased awareness of triggers, destructive habitual patterns, and "automatic" reactions to triggering experiences. Mindfulness practices in MBRP are designed to help individuals pause, observe present experience, and bring awareness to the range of choices available in every moment. Through MBRP individuals learn to respond in ways that serve them, rather than react in ways that are detrimental to their health and happiness.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of mindfulness based relapse prevention on self-regulation overtime and drinking in daily life through the use of wearable heart rate sensors during mindfulness groups and answering assessment questions 3 times per day during the course of treatment. The main questions that it aims to answer are: 1. What changes in self-regulation as measured through heart rate variability are observed during a mindfulness intervention and how do those self-regulatory changes affect drinking after treatment? 2. How do changes in heart rate variability affect drinking, craving, and negative affectivity in daily life? Participants will: 1. Answer questions related to their mood and drinking behaviors. 2. Wear their sensors during an 8-week treatment period with 1 group per week. 3. Answer questions 3 times a day during the treatment period. 4.) Return their sensors via a pre-stamped package and answer questions about their mood and drinking behaviors 3- and 6-months after the mindfulness groups end.
