Brief summary
Among behavioral cognitive psychotherapies, new Mindfulness interventions allow patient to identify, pay attention and accept external (sensory stimuli) and internal (cognition and emotions) phenomena. This to do with training has yielded promising results in stress management, prevention of depressive relapse, management of craving and an increase in self-efficacy. Few studies (none in France) have attempted to measure the efficacy of this technique on alcohol relapse, in particular by comparing it with a usual management strategy (conventional relapse prevention therapy). The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy on alcoholic relapse (measured in the first glass consumed), from a Mindfulness therapeutic program to a conventional Relapse Prevention program. Secondary objectives are to demonstrate the efficacy of this program on craving, self-efficacy, and secondary endpoints of relapse (massive alcoholism, number of alcoholisation days).
Detailed description
Each patient will perform 12 psychotherapeutic sessions (Mindfulness or Relapse Prevention) over a period of 6 weeks. Patients will be evaluated by a practitioner different from the practitioner who makes the psychotherapeutic management. Patients will be assessed at inclusion (Initial visit), after the 12 sessions of management (M0), 1 month (M1), 2 month (M2), 3 month (M3), 4 month (M4), 5 month (M5), 6 month (M6), after initial visit as follows Initial Visit * Signature of an informed consent form. * Demographic characteristics (gender, age, family status, professional status, level of education …) * Clinical data (patient status, ongoing pharmacological treatment, withdrawal, previous CBT ...) * Criteria and severity of alcohol dependence (DSM 5) * Evaluation of depressive symptomatology and severity (HAM-D) * Level of pre-intervention alcohol consumption (AUDIT-C) * Binge drinking consumption * Craving before alcohol withdrawal (EVA craving) * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Drinking habits (QHPBA) After the 12 sessions (M0) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Depressive symptomatology and severity (HAM-D) * Level of alcohol consumption in post-intervention (AUDIT-C) * Binge drinking consumption * Craving after alcohol withdrawal (EVA craving) * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 1st Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 1 month (M1) * Return of the 1st Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 2nd Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 2 month (M2) * Return of the 2nd Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 3th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 3 month (M3) * Return of the 3th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 4th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 4 month (M4) * Return of the 4th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 5th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 5 month (M5) * Return of the 5th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol) * Distribution of the 6th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) At 6 month (M6) * Return of the 6th Daily Alcohol Logbook (TLFB) * Data on treatments in progress or change in treatment * Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) * Binge drinking consumption * Self-efficacy to remain abstinent (QAE-Alcohol)
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMindfulness practice
Mindfulness interventions are behavioral cognitive psychotherapies which allow patient to identify, pay attention and accept external (sensory stimuli) and internal (cognition and emotions) phenomena.
BEHAVIORALRelapse prevention
It's a conventional relapse prevention program which allow to measure the alcoholic relapse in the first glass consumed.
