Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)

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 Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention 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 Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention 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.
