DescriptionPurpose of Project: Individuals with opiate use disorder (IOUD) are more susceptible to psychiatric comorbidities, and 17-30% have anxiety (Sofuoglu et al., 2019). Research (Wolitzky-Taylor et al., 2018) indicates that anxiety interferes with the ability for individuals to maintain their treatment goals and have positive outcomes. The purpose of the study is to evaluate a virtual mindfulness intervention in individuals on buprenorphine naloxone (Suboxone) maintenance. Methodology: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) was used to measure anxiety pre-and-post intervention.
Results: There was a difference in the pre and post-anxiety scores t(4)= 2.813, p<.05, showing improvement after the intervention.
Implications for Practice: This may be a viable intervention to remotely treat anxiety and other psychological disorders for individuals with substance abuse.
