Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) was included on a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website describing mindfulness meditation interventions. According to a VA literature review, MORE and other evidence-based mindfulness programs (e.g., MBSR, MBCT) demonstrated sufficient effectiveness to be recommended as appropriate components of care for veterans. In a clinical trial published in 2024 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, MORE was shown to be an efficacious therapy for relieving chronic pain and reducing opioid use in veterans and active duty service members.

Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) reduced opioid use to a significantly greater extent than standard group (SG) therapy. Garland et al. (2024). Amer J Psychiatry.
