This study focuses on the application and effect of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) in the prevention of recurrence of Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Firstly, by systematically sorting out the core theories and mechanisms of mindfulness therapy, clarify its role paths in cognitive awareness, emotion regulation, and impulse control; Subsequently, combined with existing intervention studies and empirical data, the improvement effects of the mindfulness training program on the recurrence rate, physiological stress indicators, and mental health level were analyzed. The study adopted a randomized controlled design. The experimental group that received eight weeks of mindfulness training was compared with the control group that received conventional withdrawal treatment. Data from the MAAS Mindfulness Awareness Scale, the BSCS Self-control Scale, and survival analysis were collected. The results showed that the risk of recurrence in the experimental group was significantly reduced, the ability of mindfulness awareness and self-control was continuously enhanced, and there was a good maintenance effect during the three-month follow-up. The discussion section further explores how mindfulness intervention can reshape the cognitive response to material craving by enhancing present awareness and non-evaluative attitudes, and puts forward improvement suggestions in response to the sample limitations and implementation difficulties of existing research. The research conclusion provides a theoretical basis and practical path for incorporating MBI into the comprehensive intervention system of SUD, and at the same time points out the direction for future multi-center and large-sample longitudinal follow-up studies.
