Filter by:Many cocaine dependent individuals are also dependent on alcohol. Such individuals respond poorly to existing treatments and have received little research attention in the past. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of naltrexone and disulfiram is useful in decreasing alcohol use and cravings in people diagnosed with both cocaine and alcohol dependence.
Modafinil is a medication that may enhance mood and increase energy in cocaine addicts, which may be useful in preventing cocaine relapse. Naltrexone is a medication that is currently used to treat drug and alcohol addiction. A combination of these two medications may be beneficial in reducing drug and alcohol use in individuals undergoing substance abuse treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modafinil and naltrexone, alone and in combination, at reducing drug and alcohol use in individuals addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
Cocaine addiction is a serious health problem with no available medical treatment for preventing relapse. Fluoxetine, a medication that is currently used to treat depression and anxiety disorders, may also be effective at diminishing cocaine use in individuals with severe cocaine addiction. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of fluoxetine at reducing cocaine use in individuals addicted to cocaine and opioids who are concurrently receiving methadone treatment.
Recent findings have suggested that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) substantially reduces cocaine drug-seeking behavior in formerly cocaine dependent rats. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and cue reactivity effects of NAC in cocaine dependent individuals and non-dependent healthy controls.
Many cocaine dependent individuals are also diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is currently approved to treat individuals diagnosed with ADHD. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of methylphenidate in treating ADHD symptoms in cocaine dependent individuals.
Cocaine is one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States. Memantine is a type of drug called an NMDA receptor antagonist. It works by decreasing normal excitement in the brain. NMDA receptor antagonists have shown to reduce cocaine-induced dopamine release in animal models, as well as lessen conditioned cocaine cues. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of memantine in preventing relapse to cocaine use in cocaine dependent individuals. In addition, this study will determine whether memantine produces better results than a placebo in decreasing cocaine craving, psychological symptoms, functional impairment, and discontinuation of treatment in cocaine dependent individuals.
Many opioid-dependent individuals are also dependent on cocaine. Methadone is a widely used and effective method for treating opioid dependence. However, it is not effective in treating other drugs of abuse. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of another drug, tiagabine, for treating cocaine dependence in opioid-dependent individuals already receiving methadone treatment.
Despite years of active research, there are still no approved medications for the treatment of cocaine dependence. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of modafinil in treating cocaine-dependent individuals.
Cocaine has been cited as the primary drug threat in the United States. The purpose of this study is to determine if cocaethylene, used as a prototype drug, is a safe and effective treatment for cocaine dependence.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modafinil in reducing cocaine use in subjects with cocaine dependence.
