Summary

Eligibility Criteria

Accrual will be random, with no bias as to gender or racial/ethnic group. Because the accrual process will be random, it is possible that there may be differences in the proportion of males and females, and racial/ethnic groups among the study individuals. All subjects will be concurrently participating in behavioral therapy programs run by Dr. Beeder's clinical team. Each case will be reviewed with the Eligibility Committee, comprised of three investigators other than the PI, to determine eligibility. The Principal Investigator will not participate in this process. All subjects must fulfill all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria in order to participate in this study. Inclusion Criteria: 1. All subjects should be able to provide informed consent. 2. Must provide HIV informed consent. 3. Males and females, 21- 69 years of age. 4.

Any prior 1 to 4 month period of cocaine abstinence in the past year will be excluded when calculating average cocaine use to evaluate study eligibility. 6\. Fertile males and females must agree to use adequate forms of contraception for the duration of the entire study. 7\. Body weight \> 45 kg. Exclusion Criteria: 1.
