The proposed study is a 3-site, 12-week, novel, feasibility, investigation of patients who have co-occurring diagnoses of schizophrenia and current substance use disorder (alcohol, cocaine, heroin, or cannabis). Eighty patients will be randomly assigned to switch to brexpiprazole (the brexpiprazole group) or remain on the same antipsychotic treatment (the control group). The study will be conducted at 3 sites in the US. The investigators expect to enroll 80 subjects across 3 sites. UMass Medical School, Worcester MA is the lead site. Sub-sites include Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC).
