Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement An Evidence-Based Treatment for Chronic Pain and Opioid Use, Book

The opioid crisis arose in part due to the attempt to relieve chronic pain. Meeting a
huge need, this is the authoritative presentation of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery
Enhancement (MORE) for chronic pain and opioid use. MORE is one of the few
evidence-based treatments shown to simultaneously reduce opioid use and/or
addiction, pain, and co-occurring emotional distress. MORE integrates mindfulness
training with principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and positive psychology. In a
convenient large-size format, the book provides everything needed to set up and run
MORE groups. Treatment developer Eric L. Garland supplies session-by-session
guidelines, sample scripts, clinical pointers, guided practices, and psychoeducational
resources, including 16 reproducible handouts that can be photocopied or downloaded.
