Disulfiram for Treating Cocaine Dependence in Individuals Maintained on Methadone
Cocaine-Related DisordersOpioid-Related DisordersCocaine is an extremely addictive stimulant drug that directly affects the brain. It is used in several different forms and can be snorted, smoked, or injected to achieve the desired effect. Cocaine users are at risk for many health problems, both directly and indirectly related to the effects of cocaine. Disulfiram, a drug used to treat chronic alcoholism, may be effective in reducing cocaine use. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of three different doses of disulfiram in treating cocaine dependence in opioid- and cocaine-dependent individuals maintained on methadone.

Opiate DependenceThe CS 1018 study will recruit a total of 600 patients seeking treatment for opiate dependence. They will be recruited from six states (Florida, New York, Texas, California, Washington, and Illinois), with up to ten private physician sites or clinics participating in each state. Coordination of the participating sites and clinics in each of the six states will be performed from an associated Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Tampa VAMC, New York City VAMC, San Antonio VAMC, Long Beach VAMC, Seattle VAMC, and Hines VAMC). The Principal Investigator (PI) at each of the six VAMC?s will be a physician experienced in the treatment of opiate dependent patients. Patients will be recruited by any of numerous strategies including word of mouth, self-referral, local fliers, newspapers, and radio advertisements. This study will be conducted open label with no random assignment or stratification. Patients may be accepted for detoxification or longer-term treatment (6 to 12 months of buprenorphine/naloxone therapy). Patients under the age of 21 will initially be admitted for detoxification; longer treatment of these patients will be based on physician judgement of the necessary of continued treatment. Patients will be inducted directly into buprenorphine/naloxone 4:1 combination tablets. Patients treated in private practice will be asked to sign a treatment contract which will delineate the terms and conditions of treatment.
