TI  - Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement for Alcohol Dependence: Therapeutic 
      Mechanisms and Intervention Acceptability.
PG  - 242-263
AB  - Mindfulness-based interventions may decrease addictive behaviors while promoting 
      non-reactivity to stressors. This study employed qualitative methods to enhance 
      understanding of mindfulness-related treatment effects. Study participants were 
      eighteen alcohol dependent adults residing in a therapeutic community who had 
      participated in a Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) intervention. 
      Interviews were conducted to elicit participant narratives. Responses to 
      open-ended questions were analyzed using a grounded theory approach and the 
      method of constant comparison. Narrative accounts suggested that MORE enhanced 
      self-awareness while helping clients to cope more effectively with emotional 
      distress and addictive impulses. MORE appears to be acceptable to participants 
      and feasible to implement within a residential treatment setting. Mindfulness 
      training may assist marginalized persons recover from addiction.
