Minds and Mentors Program for Opioid Use Disorder

This study is testing two different group therapy programs for people with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) who are also taking medication for OUD (MOUD), such as methadone, naloxone, naltrexone, or buprenorphine. You could be assigned to either the Minds and Mentors program, which includes mindfulness-based therapy and peer support, or a Twelve Step Intervention Group. Researchers want to see if the Minds and Mentors program helps people stick with their MOUD treatment, reduces relapse and cravings, and improves anxiety, stress, and depression. The study aims to enroll 240 participants and is looking for adults aged 19 and older who have been diagnosed with OUD recently and are currently in the maintenance phase of MOUD. The current recruitment status is unclear.
