Summary
Cocaine addiction is a serious health problem with no available medical treatment for
preventing relapse. Amantadine, a medication that improves muscle control, and propranolol, a
medication that lowers blood pressure, may be useful in treating cocaine addiction in
individuals with severe cocaine withdrawal symptoms. This study will evaluate the
effectiveness of amantadine and propranolol in preventing drug relapse among cocaine addicts.
