Study Summary

The goal of this two-year study is to test the efficacy of dronabinol as an adjunct to maintenance treatment with naltrexone in opioid-dependent individuals. We hypothesize that administering dronabinol during detoxification and during the first few weeks of naltrexone treatment will lead to improved naltrexone tolerability, resulting in better naltrexone compliance and treatment retention, and ultimately a reduction in opioid use and relapse rates.

Primary Outcome

The Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale is a self-administered 16 scale containing 16 symptoms ranging in severity from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). The SOWS total score is the sum of 16 items, ranging from 0 (no opiate withdrawal ) to 64 ( severe opiate withdrawal). Values from multiple assessments during the 8-week outpatient phase were averaged.

Interventions

  • DRUG injectable naltrexone and dronabinol
  • DRUG Naltrexone and placebo
