HMP for Addictions Study

This is a 6-week, single-arm, single-center pilot study of the acceptability and efficacy of an adaptation of the Healthy Minds Program for Veterans with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine maintenance treatment. Following the Screening Visit, eligible subjects will complete 6 in-person sessions over the course of 2 months. The first session will be an introductory session introducing the basics of the program. After the introductory session, there will be four weekly sessions, each dedicated to a different domain of the program - awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. Participants will be encouraged to practice daily anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes from a set of practices that will be available to them on a password protected website. The intervention will end with a closing session where participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their experience of the program and share feedback. Weekly sessions will be held in person and will be facilitated by an MD, PhD Psychiatrist and Neuroscientist with 8 years of mindfulness practice together with a certified Peer Support Specialist.
