Summary

This study tests whether online mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) helps people with alcohol use disorder maintain long-term recovery. About 470 adults who recently sought treatment or tried to cut back on drinking will either join MBRP video groups or be referred to online mutual support groups. The goal is to see if MBRP leads to fewer heavy drinking days and better overall well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: mindfulness-based relapse prevention (behavioral therapy)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an effective, accessible online program to help people with alcohol use disorder stay in recovery long-term.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results may vary widely. The study is still ongoing, and it's unclear if online delivery is as effective as in-person programs.
