简要总结
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.
详细描述
This pilot observational case series evaluated an eight-week mindfulness and meditation-based relapse prevention program delivered to three de-identified adults with substance use disorders. The intervention included weekly guided mindfulness sessions, daily home practice, and group discussions focused on awareness of cravings, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention strategies.
Outcomes were assessed using self-reported perceived stress and mindfulness measures, along with qualitative clinical interviews and participant journals to monitor relapse behavior. All participants demonstrated improvements in perceived stress and mindfulness. Relapse occurred in two participants within one year, while one participant maintained long-term sobriety.
This study was exploratory and descriptive in nature, with a small sample size. Ethics review was not required as all participants were de-identified and the study was conducted as a clinical case series. Findings are intended to inform future research and larger-scale studies of mindfulness-based relapse prevention interventions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Case Series
This cohort includes three adult participants with histories of substance use disorders who completed an eight-week mindfulness and meditation-based relapse prevention program delivered as part of routine clinical practice. Participants engaged in guided mindfulness meditation sessions, daily home practice, and group discussions focused on stress awareness, emotional regulation, craving management, and relapse prevention skills. Outcomes were assessed descriptively using self-reported stress and mindfulness measures, participant journals, and clinical interviews.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Perceived Stress and Mindfulness Following Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Program
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) to end of the eight-week program
The primary outcome is the change in perceived stress and mindfulness levels in participants completing an eight-week mindfulness and meditation-based relapse prevention program. Stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale and mindfulness using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire. Observations were collected through participant journals and clinical interviews, comparing baseline to post-intervention outcomes. This outcome reflects the feasibility and potential impact of mindfulness-based practices in supporting emotional regulation and coping strategies for individuals with substance use disorders.
