Overview
Brief Summary
This pilot project will evaluate a new mind-body intervention called Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) for reducing substance abuse problems in women who are undergoing a substance abuse treatment program. The main hypothesis is that MBB will be more effective than the control (standard) intervention program in helping people reduce their craving for illicit substances and/or alcohol.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized clinical pilot study in which MBB will be compared with a standard treatment program for substance abuse. Both groups will run concurrently over the course of a 10-week period, twice per week.
