Study Summary

The proposed work will investigate changes in brain signaling and cognitive functioning that support recovery from addiction, as well as use of pretreatment neurocognitive functioning to inform substance use treatment planning. Substance use disorders are prevalent amongst Veterans. Cocaine addiction, in particular, has been shown to complicate treatment of other high priority behavioral health problems in the Veteran population (e.g., PTSD, opioid addiction). While there are currently no approved medications to support recovery from cocaine addiction, research indicates that Contingency Management (CM) - a behavioral intervention for cocaine users - can be effective. However, individual responses are variable and long-term benefits are limited. This CDA will test a new model of how CM works by examining brain-based predictors and indicators of treatment response. Results will have immediate implications for measurement-based implementation of existing CM variants within the VA, supporting access to the version of CM that is best aligned with each Veteran's needs.

Primary Outcome

Percentage of cocaine-negative urine specimens during the 12-week treatment interval out of the total number possible, computed on a per-participant basis. The denominator was adjusted for participants for whom a full course of treatment could not be delivered due to suspension of face-to-face research activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Denominators were similarly adjusted for 2 TAU participants who withdrew from the study during the 12-week treatment interval. Descriptive statistics repre
