Mindfulness-Action Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for concurrent Binge Eating Disorder and Substance Use Disorders.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to examine the treatment outcomes of Mindfulness-Action Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MACBT) for individuals with concurrent Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD).
Results Summary
Participants showed significant improvements in objective binge eating episodes, disordered eating attitudes, alcohol and drug addiction severity, and depression after the 16-week MACBT intervention. The study suggests MACBT may be effective for treating co-existing BED-SUD.

Individuals with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) often evidence comorbid Substance Use Disorders (SUD), resulting in poor outcome. This study is the first to examine treatment outcome for this concurrent disordered population. In this pilot study, 38 individuals diagnosed with BED and SUD participated in a 16-week group Mindfulness-Action Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MACBT). Participants significantly improved on measures of objective binge eating episodes; disordered eating attitudes; alcohol and drug addiction severity; and depression. Taken together, MACBT appears to hold promise in treating individuals with co-existing BED-SUD.
