Filter by:Despite the many behavioral and cognitive treatment therapies that exist for cocaine addiction, individuals who complete cocaine abuse treatment are still at high risk for relapsing. Aripiprazole, a medication that is currently used to treat schizophrenia, may be useful in preventing drug relapse in individuals addicted to cocaine. This three-part study will evaluate the interaction between aripiprazole and cocaine. It will also determine the safety and effectiveness of aripiprazole in preventing drug relapse among cocaine addicts.
The purpose of this study is to assess potential interactions between intravenous (i.v.) cocaine and atomoxetine (Strattera) administered orally in four escalating doses.
Preliminary research has shown that venlafaxine, a medication currently used for treating depression, may also discourage cocaine use in depressed individuals. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of venlafaxine in reducing cocaine use and alleviating depression in individuals addicted to cocaine.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine if the central feature of the Therapeutic Workplace, the abstinence reinforcement contingency, is critical to initiate cocaine abstinence in injection drug using methadone patients who use cocaine consistently during methadone treatment. All subjects initially will be invited to attend the Therapeutic Workplace for an initial period, but abstinence will not be required to work during that time. During this initial period, vouchers will be contingent only on workplace attendance and performance on the training programs. Subjects (n=70) who attend the workplace consistently during the first 4 weeks of treatment, but who continue to use cocaine will be randomly assigned to a Work Only or an Abstinence Plus Work group. Subjects in the Work Only group will continue to be able to work independent of their urinalysis results. However, subjects in the Abstinence Plus Work group will be required to provide urine samples that show evidence of recent cocaine abstinence. Subjects in both groups will be invited to stay in the workplace for 6 months. We expect the subjects in the Abstinence and Work group will achieve higher rates of abstinence than the subjects in the Work Only group. This result would show that the abstinence reinforcement contingency (i.e., the requirement to provide cocaine-free urine samples to work and earn vouchers) is important in the initiation of abstinence in the study population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether long-term exposure to the Therapeutic Workplace intervention could sustain drug abstinence over an extended period of time in heroin- and cocaine-dependent, unemployed, treatment-resistant young mothers.
Many substance dependent individuals also suffer from depression. Past research suggests that antidepressant medication is helpful in treating such individuals. This study will determine the effectiveness of mirtazapine, an antidepressant medication, in treating cocaine dependent individuals who also suffer from depression. This study includes free treatment for cocaine dependence that includes medication and a behavioral intervention.
The purpose of this study was to collect pilot data on whether quetiapine may be effective in the reduction of cocaine use and cravings in cocaine dependent individuals.
The purpose of this study is... To assess whether a behavioral treatment that combines motivational enhancement and cognitive skills training therapy (MET-CBT) is more effective than brief advice in: 1) decreasing use of a full range of psychoactive substances (e.g. marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, alcohol, nicotine, opioids) in pregnant substance using and dependent women; 2) decreasing HIV risk behavior; 3) improving birth outcomes (longer gestations and greater birth weight).
The purpose of this study is to test whether cognitive behavioral therapy and bupropion hydrochloride will help cocaine users, who are depressed, reduce or end their cocaine use and improve their mood.
Cocaine addiction is a serious health problem with no available medical treatment for preventing relapse. Topiramate, a medication which lowers dopamine levels, may have the ability to diminish cocaine cravings in addicts. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of topiramate in reducing cocaine's rewarding effects in individuals addicted to cocaine.
