Aripiprazole to Reduce Cocaine Relapse

Summary

Despite the many behavioral and cognitive treatment therapies that exist for cocaine addiction, individuals who complete cocaine abuse treatment are still at high risk for relapsing. Aripiprazole, a medication that is currently used to treat schizophrenia, may be useful in preventing drug relapse in individuals addicted to cocaine. This three-part study will evaluate the interaction between aripiprazole and cocaine. It will also determine the safety and effectiveness of aripiprazole in preventing drug relapse among cocaine addicts.
