What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

Adapt and test the effectiveness of MBRP for substance use peer workers compared to a standard of care (referral to 12-step) control condition on substance use, relapse risk, and burnout among peers in a pilot hybrid type 1 trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention can reduce substance use, relapse risk, and burnout among substance use peer workers. The objectives are to:

1. Identify the causes, consequences, and risk and protective factors for relapse among peer workers;

2. Identify peers' preferences related to MBRP content, structure, and delivery;

3. Adapt the MBRP intervention for peer workers; and

4. Assess the preliminary effectiveness and implementation outcomes of the adapted MBRP intervention.

Researchers will compare MBRP to referral to 12-step (standard of care) to see if MRBP works to reduce substance use, relapse risk, and burnout.

Participants will asked to:

* Participate in MBRP (8 weekly 2-hour virtual sessions)

* Complete 4 surveys assessing well-being outcomes

* Participate in 1 virtual interview about your experience
