Oct. 18, 2023 – Mindfulness-based interventions are therapeutic approaches that incorporate mindfulness practices into various aspects of treatment. These interventions aim to cultivate mindfulness skills in individuals and apply them to promote well-being and address a range of psychological and physical health conditions.
Substance use disorders have a significant impact on individuals and society, affecting millions of people worldwide and costing billions of dollars annually. Substance use disorders are associated with negative neurobiological and psychosocial outcomes, including brain dysfunction, intense cravings, hazardous behaviors, and mental health problems. The high relapse rates within the first year of treatment further highlight the need for effective therapies.
Mindfulness-based interventions have shown promise in addressing mental health problems and have been incorporated into psychological therapies in recent years. However, it is important to understand the neurobiological changes associated with mindfulness-based interventions in substance use disorders and their potential effects on substance use and related behaviors.
