Summary

This study tests whether a long-term, high-dose prescription stimulant (lisdexamfetamine) can help people with moderate to severe methamphetamine use disorder stay in treatment and reduce use. About 80 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo alongside standard care for 25 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not to cure addiction.
