Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Baseline inclusion criteria:

- are at least 18 years of age

- are enrolled in methadone maintenance treatment in Baltimore

- provide a cocaine-positive urine sample at time of initial screening

- self-report cocaine use through intravenous route

- have visible evidence of intravenous drug use (i.e., track marks).

Baseline exclusion criteria:

- report current suicidal ideation

- if the individual reports hallucinations

- have physical limitations (e.g., broken fingers) that prevent the subject from
typing.

- Applicants reporting hallucinations are excluded because this is a characteristic of
a psychiatric disorder that is likely to result in behaviors that could disrupt the
workplace or functioning or limit their ability to provide informed consent.

Main study inclusion criteria:

- have attended the workplace regularly during 4-week baseline periods

- are still in methadone maintenance treatment at the end of the 4-week baseline period

- have provided at least two urine samples that test positive for cocaine during the
baseline period

- Individuals who are excluded from the main study will be allowed to complete their
8-week training program in the Therapeutic Workplace. They may also be invited to
participate in other studies ongoing at the Center for Learning and Health where this
research takes place.
