Study Summary

In summary, this pilot study will explore the use of an innovative pharmacologic approach to the treatment of substance dependence through the facilitation of extinction of response to cocaine-conditioned cues in cocaine-dependent individuals. If DCS proves successful in this preliminary study, a controlled treatment trial will be planned. This novel approach could have implications for the treatment of multiple substance use disorders including methamphetamine, marijuana and opiate dependence.

Primary Outcome

Scale assess cocaine craving following cocaine cue exposure after two administrations of DCS. Subjects rate craving on a scale from 0-10 with 0 indicating "Not at all" and 10 indicating "Extremely".
