Interventions

  • Mindfulness and Meditation-Based Relapse Prevention Program — BEHAVIORAL
    The mindfulness and meditation-based relapse prevention program consisted of an eight-week structured intervention delivered as part of routine clinical practice. Participants engaged in weekly guided mindfulness meditation sessions, daily individual home practice, and facilitated group discussions. The intervention focused on developing awareness of thoughts, emotions, cravings, and stress responses, with an emphasis on nonjudgmental observation and emotional regulation. Sessions included mindfulness exercises, breathing techniques, body awareness practices, and reflective discussion related to relapse prevention and coping strategies. The program was not designed as a randomized or controlled intervention and was implemented uniformly across participants.

Study Details

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.
