abstract="Individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) evidenced high levels of aggression both before and after the onset of opioid misuse. Continued aggression after abstinence  suggested that abstinence alone may be inadequate. The present study investigated  dispositional mindfulness in relation to aggressive attitudes, and verbal and  physical aggression, by reviewing medical records of 163 adults in residential  treatment for OUD. <br><br>RESULTS of hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for age  and alcohol/drug use and problems, revealed a negative relationship between  dispositional mindfulness and both aggressive attitudes and verbal aggression. Although dispositional mindfulness negatively related to physical aggression at the  bivariate level, only alcohol use and problems related to physical aggression in  regression analyses. Mindfulness-based treatments may be a useful avenue for  targeting aggression within this population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
