Opiate Dependence: Combined Naltrexone/Behavior Therapy - 1
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Heroin Dependence
In brief
The overall goal of this research project is to test a newly developed behavioral therapy to enhance the efficacy of naltrexone maintenance and make it a viable alternative to methadone maintenance or detoxification methods for treatment of opiate dependence. HYPOTHESES: 1. Outpatient treatment with Behavioral Naltrexone Therapy will yield a lower rate of relapse to illicit opiates compared to naltrexone plus Compliance Enhancement (CE) Therapy. 2. Lifetime history of depression will predict dysphoria and non-compliance with naltrexone.
