Do you find stress makes sobriety harder to maintain?
Do you want to learn effective mind-body skills and relapse prevention strategies?
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) is an eight-week
psycho-educational course* integrating empirically supported
interventions from Dr. Alan Marlatt's Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT),
Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Zindel
Segal and colleagues’ Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
This program was specifically created for clients in recovery from
substance use disorders and is designed to help prevent future relapse.
The MBRP curriculum integrates mindfulness meditation practices with
cognitive-behavioral strategies to support clients and promote vital
lifestyle modifications for a healthy life of recovery.
The program teaches effective skills to reduce stress, manage urges and
cravings, and cultivate compassion and acceptance. Each of the eight
MBRP classes includes mindfulness meditation and mindful movement,
along with cognitive-behavioral strategies to maintain and reinforce
sobriety. Participants will be expected to do daily home practice |
