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.
