Brain stimulation with mindfulness-based relapse prevention
Participants will participate in weekly or twice weekly group mindfulness based relapse prevention (MBRP) + transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) intervention sessions for up to eight weeks. All participants will receive 8 two hour sessions of MBRP + tDCS, regardless of the group schedule. Subjects will receive 30 minutes of either active or sham tDCS stimulation, depending on their group assignment. After tDCS, sessions will include discussions of mindfulness as a means of coping with craving, cognitions, and emotions, role play exercises, and mindfulness practice.
