Journal Article

Richard J Lamb,Kenzie L. Preston,Charles W. Schindler,Richard A. Meisch,F. Davis,Jonathan L. Katz,Jack E. Henningfield,Steven R. Goldberg +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that there can be a significant dissociation of the reinforcing and the subjective effects of opioids, which has implications for theories of opioid abuse, particularly those assuming that the reinforcing effects are causally related to the euphoric effect of opioids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cut-off levels for breath carbon monoxide as a marker for cigarette smoking.
TL;DR: In this paper, the cut-off level of breath carbon monoxide (BCO) as an indicator of smoking over the past 24 hours was re-examined, and the results indicated that BCO cutoff levels well below 8 p.p.m. may be more useful when it is important to maximize identification of smoking abstinence with a high degree of certainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcing operants other than abstinence in drug abuse treatment: An effective alternative for reducing drug use.
Martin Y. Iguchi,Mark A. Belding,Mark A. Belding,Andrew R. Morral,Richard J Lamb,Stephen D. Husband +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effectiveness of using vouchers to reinforce either the provision of urine samples testing negative for illicit drugs (UA group) or the completion of objective, individually defined, treatment-plan-related tasks (TP group).
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-injection of d,1-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in the baboon.
TL;DR: The highest dose of MDMA tested maintained a cyclic pattern of self-injection, i.e., days of high numbers of injections intermixed with days of low numbers of Shots, to an extent that food intake was decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cocaine use and HIV risk behavior in methadone maintenance patients
TL;DR: It is concluded that cocaine use represents a continued source of risk for exposure to HIV in this population, and that more aggressive efforts are warranted to reduce illicit drug use, particularly of heroin and cocaine, in methadone patients.
