Cocaine Treatment Drug Shows Promise with Meth Patients
Research for America tested out the drug PROMETA, which has already been approved as a drug to aid with alcohol or cocaine dependence treatment, on methamphetamine dependent patients. Of the 50 patients who started the treatment, 31 remained until the very last check up and 30 of those 31 reported decreased cravings and use (verified by urine tests). The study also lacked behavioral support, which most treatment programs include. It should be noted that the study lacked a control group (although I can't verify this since I can't find the actual study).
