简要总结
Methamphetamine use disorders are an unrelenting public health concern. Intensive research efforts have yielded behavioral interventions that reduce methamphetamine use, however, these interventions are not universally effective and treatment effects diminish over time. Development of a pharmacotherapy that enhances the efficacy of these interventions is a priority for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This study proposes to determine the impact of buspirone maintenance on self-administration of methamphetamine. These preliminary data will be used to support further research developing buspirone as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorders. The investigators hypothesize that buspirone will attenuate the reinforcing effects of methamphetamine.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Methamphetamine Doses Self-Administered
时间窗: One test per methamphetamine dose level per intervention for each participant over his/her approximate 25 day inpatient admission
The reinforcing effects of methamphetamine will be determined during placebo and buspirone treatment using a modified progressive ratio procedure in which subjects are offered the opportunity to earn previously sampled doses of methamphetamine. Each ratio completed on the task will earn 1/10th of the sampled dose.
