Brief summary

This study will provide important information concerning the used of mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) as a continuing care strategy for Veterans who have completed primary treatment for a SUD. Most research is focused on the acute care of SUDs, but the risk of relapse to substance use is highest during the period immediately following treatment and attention to continuing care is critical. If this trial demonstrates that MBRP promotes sustained abstinence and improved functional outcomes, this will provide a valuable treatment to facilitate rehabilitation and recovery for Veterans with SUDs.

Detailed description

Rates of substance use disorders (SUDS) are high among military personnel and Veterans. While much research is focused on the acute care of SUDs, the risk of relapse to substance use following treatment is high and attention to continuing care is critical. New continuing care strategies targeting life-style change and improved coping mechanisms are important in facilitating maintenance of abstinence, promoting rehabilitation and functional recovery for Veterans with SUDs. Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP), a manualized treatment integrating cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention therapy with mindfulness practices, has shown promise in continuing care for SUDs. The proposed project will compare MBRP to a 12-Step Facilitation treatment as a continuing care strategy following primary treatment for SUDs. Participants will be randomized to participate in 8-weeks of weekly 90-minute, group-based MBRP or 12-Step Facilitation followed by a 10-month follow-up period with regular assessments of substance use, mood/anxiety symptoms, quality of life and functional outcomes. Two VAMC sites (Charleston and Tuscaloosa) with a history of successful collaboration will work together to recruit an adequate sample size to address the primary study questions within a 4-year period and to ensure generalizability of the results. If this trial demonstrates that MBRP promotes sustained abstinence and improved functional outcomes, this will provide a valuable treatment to facilitate rehabilitation and recovery for Veterans with SUDs.

Interventions

Each session has a central theme/topic and consists of in-session experiential practice, discussions and homework assignments. Sessions begin with a check-in followed by a 20-30 minute meditation (i.e. body scan). The therapist reviews homework assignments, discusses challenges and participants are taught a variety of MM practices such as breath meditation, urge surfing, walking or movement meditation.

BEHAVIORALTwelve-Step Facilitation Intervention (TSF)

The primary goal is to promote abstinence by facilitating the patient's acceptance and surrender of addiction. Sessions begin with a check-in during which participants introduce themselves, report on meeting attendance and participation in related activities, any alcohol/drug use or craving to use. The remainder of the session focuses on discussion of the topic content followed by a take home summary and homework assignment.

Beck Anxiety InventoryBaseline, End of Treatment, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThis 21-item self-report scale has symptom clusters reflecting neurophysiological, subjective, panic, and autonomic dimensions. Scores range from 0-63 with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety.
Urine Drug ScreenWeekly, Week 8, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsObserved urine samples will be collected with a RapidCHECK Multi-Drug 10 Panel Test, which allows detection of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)/marijuana, cocaine, phencyclidine, opiates, methamphetamines, methadone, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines and uses concentrations levels established by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Osmolality and temperature assessed at collection time to insure sample validity.
EtGWeek 8, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThe conjugated alcohol metabolite ethyl glucuronide (EtG) remains positive in urine for several days following cessation and is a useful biomarker of recent drinking in outpatient settings (Dahl 2011). This will be used as the primary biologic assessment of drinking status as breathalyzer tests only assess very recent alcohol use. The assay will be done in the Charleston VAMC laboratory on samples collected at baseline, end of treatment and 3-, 6-, and 10-month follow-up visits.
Days Engaging in Structured/Productive Work Activities (PWAC)Weekly, Week 8, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThe PWAC will be used to assess self-reported days engaged in structured, volunteer, or employed work activity of at least 1 hour in duration. VISTA queries using Compensated Work Therapy and Veterans Enrichment Program stop codes will be run for medical record corroboration. Activities outside of the VA will be included.
Treatment Engagement: Treatment Attendance Calendar (TAC)Weekly, 8 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThe TAC will be used to assess the total number of days treated for a substance abuse/mental health problem in the VA or other outpatient setting, 12-step or self-help group meetings, physician contacts and,hospitalization by treatment group. The TAC measure represent the total number of days experiencing any of these events by treatment group.
Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) is a 16 Item Scale Measuring Quality of Life.Baseline, 8 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThis 16-item scale, used to assess satisfaction with major areas of life function, has convergent and discriminant construct validity in chronic illness as evidenced by high correlations between the QOLS total score and Life Satisfaction Index. Scores range from 1 = 112 with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction with quality of life.
Urine Drug Screen - End of StudyEnd of Study (up to 1 year)Observed urine samples will be collected with a RapidCHECK Multi-Drug 10 Panel Test, which allows detection of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)/marijuana, cocaine, phencyclidine, opiates, methamphetamines, methadone, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines and uses concentrations levels established by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Osmolality and temperature assessed at collection time to insure sample validity.
Addiction Severity Index, Lite8 Weeks, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThis standardized, multidimensional, semi-structured interview provides information concerning functioning in six domains commonly impacted by substance abuse: alcohol/drug, medical, psychiatric, legal, family/social and employment. The alcohol/drug scale composite score will be reported to determine severity of alcohol/drug problem severity. The average range is 0 (denoting a better outcome) to 1 ( denoting a worse outcome).
Mindfulness Acceptance and Awareness Scale (MAAS)Baseline, End of treatment, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThis is a 15-item self-report instrument rating the frequency of experiencing impaired moment-to-moment attention on a 6-point Likert scale. Scores range from 1- 6 with higher scores indicating higher levels of mindfulness. This measure explores the relationship between MAAS scores and treatment response.
Beck Depression Inventory 2Baseline, End of Treatment, 3 Months, 6 Months, 10 MonthsThis 21-item self-report scale will be used to assess for worsening depression/suicidality in safety monitoring. Scores range from 0 - 63 with higher scores indicating more severe depression.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
MINI-International Neuropsychiatric InterviewBaselineThe MINI is a well-standardized structured interview which is similar in sensitivity, specificity, and inter-rater reliability to other more lengthy diagnostic interviews, such as the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV. A DSM-V version of the MINI is not available, so DSM-IV criteria will be utilized. The MINI will be used at baseline to assess psychiatric diagnoses for inclusion/exclusion and urn randomization purposes.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)BaselineThis brief, well-validated instrument will be used at baseline to screen for cognitive impairment that could interfere with ability to benefit from MBRP. A cut-off of 26/30 is considered normal. Scores range from 0 - 30 with lower scores indicating mores severe cognitive impairment.

MINI-International Neuropsychiatric Interview

The MINI is a well-standardized structured interview which is similar in sensitivity, specificity, and inter-rater reliability to other more lengthy diagnostic interviews, such as the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV. A DSM-V version of the MINI is not available, so DSM-IV criteria will be utilized. The MINI will be used at baseline to assess psychiatric diagnoses for inclusion/exclusion and urn randomization purposes.
