Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention for Substance Use Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for adults with substance use disorders, analyzing data from nine randomized controlled trials involving 901 participants. The study reports that MBRP showed small, statistically significant effects on withdrawal/craving symptoms and negative consequences of substance use compared to comparator interventions, while finding no significant differences in relapse rates, frequency of use, treatment dropout, or mood symptoms. The authors note low to very low quality of evidence for these findings and suggest that future trials should address participant attrition to improve confidence in the results.
