Summary
Cocaine-use disorders continue to be a significant public health concern, yet no effective
medications have been identified. The goal of this study is to establish a research platform
for the development of medications for treatment of cocaine abuse and dependence. This study
will incorporate choice self-administration procedures between drug and a non-drug
alternative reinforcer presented during maintenance on d-amphetamine, which has been
previously shown to reduce cocaine use.
