Reducing self-stigma in substance abuse through acceptance and commitment therapy: Model, manual development, and pilot outcomes

Open access

Abstract

Little is known about the assessment and treatment of self-stigma in substance abusing populations. This article describes the development of an acceptance based treatment (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT) for self-stigma in individuals in treatment for substance use disorder. We report initial outcomes from a study with 88 participants in a residential treatment program. The treatment involves 6 h of a group workshop focused on mindfulness, acceptance, and values work in relation to self-stigma. Preliminary outcomes showed medium to large effects across a number of variables at post-treatment. Results were as expected with one potential process of change, experiential avoidance, but results with other potential mediators were mixed.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Little is known about the assessment and treatment of self-stigma in substance-abusing populations.

    “Little is known about the assessment and treatment of self-stigma in substance abusing populations.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The ISS and ISSA, despite not perfectly matching the paper's definition of self-stigma, capture a substantial part of the phenomena of interest.

    “While neither of these measures conforms perfectly to our definition of self-stigma, they do appear to capture a good part of phenomena of interest so that treatment develop can continue while we are developing a better measure of self-stigma.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The working alliance scale had not previously been used to assess brief group therapies.

    “However, the comparison may not be apt since this scale has apparently not been previously used to assess brief group therapies.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    ACT had not previously been applied to self-stigma in any population.

    “it has not previously been applied to self-stigma in any population.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The concurrent treatment program had no significant changes.

    “since no significant changes occurred in the concurrent treatment program.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    No other study in the literature has shown improved outcomes over time during a manual development process.

    “We are not aware of any other study in the literature that has shown improved outcomes over time during a manual development process.”

Statistics recomputed

Every reported test result, recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom. A result shows as not adding up only once an independent check has confirmed it.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-04, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-04 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
