Summary

The national opioid epidemic requires development of real-world evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder, including adjuncts to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). Interventions are needed that address the complex needs of patients with opioid use disorder, which include substantial mental health co-morbidity and high rates of chronic pain. This study tested a mind-body intervention, Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), as an adjunct to MOUD across multiple community outpatient clinical settings. MABT, a mindfulness-based intervention, addresses aspects of awareness, interoception, and regulation that may be associated with pain, mental health distress, and behavioral control that increase risk of relapse and poor treatment outcomes.

Randomized, two-group, repeated measures design comparing those who receive MABT and MOUD to MOUD only. Assessments were administered at baseline, post-intervention (3 months from baseline), and at 6, 9, and 12 months.

Sample

Individuals with opioid use disorder receiving medication for treatment were recruited to the study at six community clinics in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Eligibility criteria included being over 18 years of age, and stable on medication (at least 2 months of treatment).
