Implication

Integrative review reveals mindfulness-based interventions reduce substance misuse and craving across addictive disorders, suggesting clinically viable modulation of self-regulation pathways.

Key Points

To synthesize clinical outcomes and biobehavioral mechanisms associated with mindfulness-based interventions for addiction and outline future directions for optimization and implementation.
Narrative and integrative review of research conducted over the past decade evaluating mindfulness-based interventions across diverse addictive behaviors.
Synthesis focused on clinical endpoints, biobehavioral mechanisms, dose-response relationships, treatment sequencing, and research reproducibility.
Mindfulness-based interventions decrease substance misuse and craving across multiple substances, including alcohol, tobacco, opioids, cocaine, and heroin.
Therapeutic benefits are driven by modulating cognitive, affective, and psychophysiological pathways essential to self-regulation and reward processing.
