Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for drug abuse in incarcerated women
Overview
This paper reports on a randomized controlled trial involving 31 incarcerated women with substance use disorder who were assigned to either an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention or a waiting list control group. The study assessed outcomes using urinalysis, clinical interviews, and standardized questionnaires at baseline, post-treatment, and six-month follow-up. Results indicated that the ACT group experienced increased abstinence rates, reduced anxiety sensitivity, and improved psychological flexibility compared to the control group.
