Official Title: Study of Mindfulness Practice Efficacy in Alcoholic Relapse Prevention
Brief Summary:
Among behavioral cognitive psychotherapies, new "Mindfulness" interventions allow patient to identify, pay attention and accept external (sensory stimuli) and internal (cognition and emotions) phenomena. This "to do with" training has yielded promising results in stress management, prevention of depressive relapse, management of craving and an increase in self-efficacy. Few studies (none in France) have attempted to measure the efficacy of this technique on alcohol relapse, in particular by comparing it with a usual management strategy (conventional relapse prevention therapy).
The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy on alcoholic relapse (measured in the "first glass" consumed), from a Mindfulness therapeutic program to a conventional Relapse Prevention program. Secondary objectives are to demonstrate the efficacy of this program on craving, self-efficacy, and secondary endpoints of relapse (massive alcoholism, number of alcoholisation days).
