Development and initial testing of mindful journey: a digital mindfulness-based intervention for promoting recovery from Substance use disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

There is a great unmet need for accessible adjunctive interventions to promote long-term recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). This study aimed to iteratively develop and test the initial feasibility and acceptability of Mindful Journey, a novel digital mindfulness-based intervention for promoting recovery among individuals with SUD.

Patients/materials

Ten adults receiving outpatient treatment for SUD.

Methods

Phase 1 (n = 5) involved developing and testing a single introductory digital lesson. Phase 2 included a separate sample (n = 5) and involved testing all 15 digital lessons (each 30- to 45-minutes) over a 6-week period, while also receiving weekly brief phone coaching for motivational/technical support.
