Cocaine Psychotherapy Project

Cocaine addiction is a significant problem in today's society.  While previous research has shown that psychotherapy can be effective in treating cocaine abuse, it is clear that such therapy can also be improved.  Thus, the major goal of the current study is to examine the effectiveness of several different psychotherapies.  In doing so, we hope to provide participants with effective treatment for their cocaine addiction, as well as shed light on ways to improve existing treatment methods for cocaine users.
