National Institute on Drug Abuse, USA
J Appl Behav Anal 41:551-63. 2008..Opiate abstinence was greater in the opiate-cocaine group post-CM, and heroin craving was reduced in this group during and post-CM.

Drug Alcohol Depend 97:150-7. 2008..Thus, in a sample of non-dependent BZD users, self-reported illicit BZD use on the ASI, even at low levels, predicted worse outcome on cocaine use and blunted response to CM... - Psychosocial functioning and cocaine use during treatment: strength of relationship depends on type of urine-testing methodUdi E Ghitza

Behavioral Neuroscience Branch, NIDA/IRP/NIH/DHHS, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA
Neuropsychopharmacology 31:2188-96. 2006..These data suggest that CRF is involved in stress-induced relapse to palatable food seeking, and that CRF1 antagonists should be considered for the treatment of maladaptive eating habits... - Randomized trial of prize-based reinforcement density for simultaneous abstinence from cocaine and heroinUdi E Ghitza
