TL;DR: Several components through which mindfulness meditation exerts its effects are explored, suggesting that the mechanisms described here work synergistically, establishing a process of enhanced self-regulation.

TL;DR: Compared to older adults, emerging adults remained in treatment at a significantly lower rate at 3 months and 12 months, and were significantly more likely to test positive for illicit opioids, relapse, or drop out of treatment.

TL;DR: Understanding mechanisms and theoretical framework by which mindfulness might influence CVD should improve etiologic knowledge, providing customized mindfulness intervention targets that could enable greater mindfulness intervention efficacy.

TL;DR: Data demonstrate a decrease in illicit use when opioid-dependent treatment seekers gain access to legal prescriptions and suggest that the use of illicit buprenorphine rarely represents an attempt to attain euphoria, and is associated with attempted self-treatment of symptoms of opioid dependence, pain, and depression.

TL;DR: An integrative review defines mindfulness and describes the mindfulness-based intervention movement, synthesizes the neuroscience of mindfulness and integrates motivation and learning mechanisms within a mindful self-regulation model for understanding the complex effects of mindfulness on behavior change, and synthesizes current clinical research evaluating the effects of mindful-based interventions targeting health behaviors relevant to psychiatric care.
