Summary

This study tests whether a ketone supplement drink can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in adults with opioid use disorder who are undergoing detox in a treatment center. Fifty participants will receive either the ketone drink or a placebo three times daily for seven days. Researchers will measure changes in craving, mood, and pain tolerance to see if the supplement offers relief during withdrawal.
