Filter by:There is a continuing search for more effective opiate detoxification treatments. This study's purpose is to investigate the effects of adding very low doses of naltrexone to a methadone tapering treatment in opioid dependent individuals.
Buprenorphine is a treatment for opioid dependence. Naloxone is given in addition to buprenorphine in order to limit the abuse potential that is commonly associated with buprenorphine. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of buprenorphine/naloxone when given through different routes and at different doses.
Buprenorphine, a treatment for opioid dependence, can be mixed with naloxone, to limit abuse potential. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of buprenorphine/naloxone that is given at less than daily intervals, in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping opioid abuse.
Buprenorphine, a treatment for opioid dependence, can be mixed with another drug, naloxone, to limit abuse potential. Parenteral administration (intravenous or intramuscular injection) of buprenorphine/naloxone causes withdrawal symptoms in opioid dependent individuals. However, naloxone does not cause withdrawal symptoms in non-dependent opioid abusers. This study will investigate whether naloxone decreases the opioid agonist effect from injected buprenorphine, hence decreasing the abuse potential of buprenorphine/naloxone, in non-dependent opioid abusers.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two approaches to treating HIV-infected patients who are addicted to opioid drugs (e.g., heroin) in an inner-city HIV clinic. The two approaches are: - Case management and referral - participants are managed by a case manager and referred to a specialized drug treatment center where they receive counseling and medications for opioid-dependence (e.g., methadone or buprenorphine); or - Clinic-based treatment - participants receive counseling and treatment with buprenorphine at the HIV clinic.
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.
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of memantine (a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist) as an adjunct to the maintenance treatment with naltrexone in detoxified heroin-dependent individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, cost and effectiveness of interventions designed to integrate buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence into HIV primary care in ten HIV care centers in the U.S.
The purpose of this study is to compare two 3-month treatments for adolescents/young adults who are addicted to heroin: buprenorphine/naloxone combined with psychosocial therapy and treatment as usual, a 7-14 day detoxification with buprenorphine and three weeks of psychosocial therapy.
The purpose of this protocol is to to compare the clinical utility of two dosage tapering regimens in Buprenorphine/Naloxone stabilized subjects for opiate detoxification.
