What this Trial Is About

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is the second highest preventable cause of death in France. Only 3% of patients are prescribed approved drugs for reducing alcohol consumption or maintenance of abstinence. Increasing evidence supports the efficacy of psychotherapies such as cognitive and behavioral therapies (CBT) in AUD. However, some patients are resistant to CBT and the positive effects of CBT could wane over time, resulting in mid- and long-term relapses. Mindfulness practice is increasingly widespread in the United States and its efficacy in various fields appears very promising. The study investigators hypothesize that the Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) program will be more efficient than a relaxation/meditation without guidance control program in AUD.
