Investigating the Feasibility of Brief Compassion Focused Therapy in Individuals in Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Overview
This paper reports on a feasibility study assessing the acceptability of a brief, three-session Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) intervention for individuals with opioid use disorder. The research involved 38 participants randomly assigned to CFT, an active relaxation control, or a waitlist group, alongside qualitative feedback from service users. The authors conclude that the treatment was well-tolerated and feasible, suggesting it may be suitable for further clinical trials.
