Changes in mood, craving, and sleep during short-term abstinence reported by male cocaine addicts: a controlled, residential study Export

@article{citeulike:5845722, abstract = {We examined changes over 28 days in mood states, craving for cocaine, and sleep during short-term abstinence reported by 12 male, predominantly intravenous-using, cocaine-addicted subjects residing in a research facility.
