THRIVE Trial Summary

This trial will study how mindfulness-based relapse prevention via video helps people with alcohol use disorder reduce or stop drinking. It will also look at how widely it's adopted and how it supports long-term recovery in underserved areas.

What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-medical treatments such as online support and mindfulness training, typical medical side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing their experiences with alcohol.

THRIVE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Mindfulness-based relapse preventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The MBRP condition will be based on an existing rolling group treatment manual, which consists of eight 60-minute sessions. Each session will begin with a brief mindfulness practice and a discussion of "what is mindfulness?" and the role mindfulness may play in recovery. The themes are repeated every eight sessions, but in every session the participant is bringing a new direct moment experience to the practices in that session. The groups will also consist of people in various stages of recovery and familiarity with the material, which can make for richer discussions of the material led by the group members themselves. Participants who are randomized to receive rolling MBRP treatment will also have access to the Thrive Recovery smart phone app, which includes audio-guided MBRP meditations for participants to practice in daily life.
Group II: Referral to online mutual support groupsActive Control1 Intervention
The referral group will consist of a brief 1:1 meeting with a research team member who will provide an orientation to online mutual support and discuss the SMART Recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and other virtual meeting options and to discuss how to access mutual support via these platforms. Individuals will also have an opportunity to review the process of attending online groups, and will discuss technology issues that might arise during groups. The session will be 20-30 minutes in length.
