NAC as a Potential Treatment for Methamphetamine Dependence

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of treatment with NAC, compared to treatment with placebo, on cue- and methamphetamine (MA)-induced craving and MA subjective effects in non-treatment-seeking MA-dependent human volunteers. We also aim to determine the effects of treatment with NAC, compared to treatment with placebo, on the reinforcing effects of MA by measuring MA self-administration in non-treatment-seeking MA-dependent human volunteers.
