Summary
This study will investigate a treatment strategy in which a computer-assisted behavioral
intervention will be used to help individuals stop their use of cocaine. A medication will be
combined with the behavioral treatment among those individuals who do not respond to the
behavioral intervention alone. The primary hypothesis of the study is that among cocaine
dependent individuals who fail to respond to an initial trial of behavioral therapy, a
greater proportion of individuals will benefit from the combined treatment (behavior therapy
plus medication) compared to individuals in the comparison group.
