Examining predictors of cocaine withdrawal syndrome at the end of detoxification treatment in women with cocaine use disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Detoxification is frequently recommended as a treatment for moderate to severe Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD). However, the response to detoxification varies among patients, and previous studies have focused mostly on patterns of drug use behavior to test associations with treatment outcomes, overlooking the potential impact of psychosocial factors, other clinical variables, and individual life experiences.
