Interventions

Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention for Alcohol Dependencebehavioral

All subjects receive outpatient standard of care (SOC) therapy for alcohol dependence. Experimental subjects also receive the Mindfulness Meditation Relapse Prevention ('meditation') intervention. The intervention is an extension of existing meditation-based therapies for stress, relapse prevention in addictive disorders, and depression. It has been patterned after Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention and tailored to the specific needs of alcoholics. Its curriculum includes both meditation and "traditional" cognitive therapy relapse prevention components. The intervention consists of an 8-week, manualized meditation course (2 hours/week group sessions) guided by trained instructors. In addition, experimental subjects are asked to meditate at-home (30 min/day, 6 days/week) during the study.

"Wait-list" controlother

'Standard of care' (SOC) outpatient therapy for alcohol dependence is provided to all subjects through their outpatient treatment centers and as recommended by their regular providers. Subjects in the control group receive SOC only. Subjects in the experimental arm will receive the study meditation intervention in addition to SOC.
