Summary
Modafinil is a medication that may enhance mood and increase energy in cocaine addicts, which
may be useful in preventing cocaine relapse. Naltrexone is a medication that is currently
used to treat drug and alcohol addiction. A combination of these two medications may be
beneficial in reducing drug and alcohol use in individuals undergoing substance abuse
treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modafinil and
naltrexone, alone and in combination, at reducing drug and alcohol use in individuals
addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
