ABSTRACT
Abstract Background:
Only 29% of cannabis dependent individuals seek treatment, yet significant decreases in cannabis use are seen in 31-36% of individuals that seek treatment. Follow-up studies have found that over 60% in substance use disorders end in relapse, leading to potentially chronic and relapsing cases. New and effective therapies should be researched in order to increase the success of relapse prevention treatments.Objective:
In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between trait mindfulness level, substance dependence severity and quitting cannabis use.Methods:
A hundred and sixty four patients, diagnosed with cannabis dependence, were involved in the study; socidemographic datas were recorded and Addiction Profile Index (API), Mindfuness Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS) were carried out.Results:
We found that the trait mindfulness level is significantly related with quitting cannabis use.Discussion:
Trait mindfulness may be an important determining factor of the ability to quit substance use and achieve remission.
