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.
