Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with the greatest loss of dopamine transmission due to cocaine dependence at pre-treatment PET and MRI scans will be those who fail to respond to substance abuse treatment. This study will also determine whether patients who do respond to treatment will experience a recovery of dopamine function.
The objective of this study is to determine if vigabatrin will decrease cocaine self-administration, cardiovascular effects, subjective effects and craving compared to placebo.
This randomized controlled trial examined whether an abbreviated treatment using abstinence contingency management for housing and work/training (CM, n=103) with cocaine dependent, non-psychotic, dually diagnosed homeless persons, would show non-inferior outcomes compared to the full treatment (CM+, n=103). It was hypothesized that CM+ would show superior abstinence and retention outcomes, but that CM, with components derived from previously effective behavioral day treatment, would obtain non-inferior outcomes, defined as 75% or more of those observed for the full treatment (CM+) during active treatment months 1-6. The CM+ included all CM components but added behavioral day treatment that included voucher reinforcement of $7.50-15.00, for objective weekly therapeutic goal attainment in five domains of functioning: drug dependence, homelessness, unemployment, non-drug related recreational activities, and behavioral, health, or mental health problems. Abstinence was assessed by observed urine specimen collection and weekly testing weeks 1-52, and randomly, bi-monthly for months 13-18. Abstinence, homelessness, employment and other outcomes were also assessed at baseline, 2, 6, 12, and 18 months.
The purpose of study is to determine if modafinil promotes cocaine abstinence and reduces high risk behavior in cocaine dependent subjects.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a medication called modafinil, which is approved to treat sleep disorders, will help individuals who are abusing cocaine.
This research study is being done to look at the safety of the medication Mirtazapine (Remeron) in people who have cocaine dependence and depression. Hypotheses I. Cocaine usage will be less in the mirtazapine treatment group (MG) than in the control group (CG). II. A greater increase in Clinician Global Impression (CGI) score will be observed in the MG than in the CG. Secondary Hypotheses: I. A greater decrease in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A) scores will be observed in the MG than in the CG. II. A greater decrease in HIV risk behaviors will be observed in the MG than in the CG. III. A greater improvement in sleep structure will be observed in the MG than in the CG. IV. The proportion of subjects experiencing severe adverse drug reactions that necessitate termination from the study by one of the study clinicians will not differ between the MG and CG. V. Retention will be greater in MG than in CG.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of citalopram versus placebo given in the context of contingency management for cocaine dependence.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lamotrigine add-on therapy is associated with decreased cocaine craving and improvement in depressive symptom severity than placebo in a group of outpatients with bipolar disorder and cocaine dependence. Additionally, this study is examining whether lamotrigine add-on therapy is associated with decreased cocaine use and the improvement of manic symptom severity than placebo in a group of outpatients with bipolar disorder and cocaine dependence.
The purpose of this study is to compare voucher-based contingency management (CM) procedures to a lower-cost CM system that provides opportunities to win prizes. Cocaine-dependent outpatients are randomly assigned to (a) standard treatment, (b) standard treatment plus usual magnitude prize CM, (c) standard treatment plus higher magnitude prize CM, or (d) standard treatment plus voucher CM. Urine and breath samples are collected 2-3x/week for 14 weeks. Follow-up interviews are conducted at 1,3,6 and 9 months following intake during which substance use and psychosocial functioning are assessed.
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.
