Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention
A therapy-based group that blends meditation, body and breath awareness, and practical coping strategies designed specifically for substance use.
Overview
Often shortened to MBRP, it feels less like a meeting and more like a class in how to relate differently to urges, emotions, and stress.
How the approach works
Instead of dissecting your past, the focus stays on noticing what's happening right now, tightness in the chest, racing thoughts, the first flicker of craving, and responding with practiced, compassionate tools.
Who might find it useful
People who want a structured, skills-based mindfulness approach led by a facilitator.
What to expect
Often offered through therapists, clinics, or trained facilitators. Ask providers in your area about MBRP groups.
