Summary

This study explored whether brain activity and thinking skills can predict how well veterans with cocaine use disorder respond to a behavioral treatment called contingency management (CM). 63 veterans participated, receiving either CM or standard care. Researchers measured brain signals before and during treatment to see which patterns were linked to staying cocaine-free. The goal is to help match each veteran to the most effective treatment approach.
