Neurofeedback in Individuals With Substance Use Disorders
Opioid-Related DisordersThe aim of this study is to train individuals with opioid use disorder to control their brain activity in a way that has been associated with their symptoms. Participants in the experimental group will be given direct feedback regarding their brain activity while they are undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning, and will try to learn to control their brain activity during these feedback sessions. A separate group of participants will be given a control form of feedback that we do not believe can have clinical benefits. Our primary hypothesis is that the neurofeedback training will reduce opioid use and clinical features of opioid use disorder more than the control feedback.
Ketamine for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder and Depression
DepressionOpioid-use Disorder1 moreThe purpose of the study is to examine whether an investigational medication called ketamine is able to improve treatment outcomes for concurrent opioid addiction and depression when used in conjunction with buprenorphine treatment. Study medications will be delivered twice per week for four weeks. If you are eligible and you decide to enroll in the study, your participation will last approximately 8 weeks, or 2 months.
Benzodiazepine Discontinuation in Opioid Agonist Therapy
Substance Use DisordersThe proposed study is a clinical trial, designed to pilot test a Distress Tolerance-Benzodiazepine Discontinuation (DT-BD) intervention for patients on opioid agonist therapy who currently use benzodiazepines. The DT-BD intervention is an adjunctive psychosocial intervention in people seeking to discontinue (BZD) use. The goal of the study is to assess the applicability and feasibility of this intervention through treatment retention and qualitative interviews with four participants who are receiving opioid agonist treatment and who regularly use BZDs.
Cannabidiol Use to Reduce Cravings in Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder on Buprenorphine
Opioid-use DisorderThe purpose of this week-long study is to determine the impact of cannabidiol on cue-induced cravings among individuals with opioid use disorder who are stable on sublingual buprenorphine treatment.

Naloxone Nasal Spray Compared With Naloxone Injection for Opioid Overdoses Outside the Hospital...
OverdoseDrug AbuseThis trial will compare the clinical response to intramuscular and intranasal naloxone in pre-hospital opioid overdoses. Objective of the study is to measure and evaluate clinical response (return of spontaneous respiration within 10 minutes of naloxone administration) to a new nasal naloxone formulation in real opioid overdoses in the pre-hospital environment. The aim is to demonstrate that intranasal administration of naloxone is not clinically inferior to intramuscular administration, which is now standard treatment of care.
