Upcoming Clinical Trials
The research staff at New Leaf is a national leader in promoting quality treatment, examining current treatment methods, and testing new treatments for drug dependence.
We are starting two additional clinical trials of treatments for methamphetamine addiction. One of these trials will test an automated text message system to give people in treatment at New Leaf extra support when they are not at the clinic. The other trial will test whether the medication modafinil (Provigil) is helpful in reducing the cognitive impairment and lack of energy seen after quitting and whether this helps people stay off of methamphetamine.
