Article Synopsis
- Substance use disorder (SUD) affects many in the U.S., costing over $420 billion yearly and often causing anxiety, depression, and stress during recovery.
- Research on using nature as a treatment option for SUD is limited, even though nature has shown benefits in reducing stress and improving mood in other populations.
- A study comparing the effects of viewing nature videos and mindfulness activities on women with SUD found significant reductions in negative feelings and heart rate, along with improvements in overall mood, suggesting potential benefits of incorporating nature into SUD treatment.
