What this trial studies

This pilot hybrid type 1 trial adapts Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for substance-use peer workers. Participants will complete eight weekly 2-hour virtual sessions of MBRP or be referred to standard 12-step care, with outcomes focusing on substance use, relapse risk, and burnout. The study aims to identify relapse factors, tailor content for peers, and assess preliminary effectiveness and implementation aspects of the adapted intervention. The trial is conducted at the University of Texas at Austin with an Addiction Research Institute site, enrolling adults who are employed in peer-support roles and fluent in English. Eligible participants will have a craving score indicating relapse risk and must not have cognitive impairments or active psychosis or suicidality.
