Abstract
Background Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a chronic condition that presents high relapse rates and treatment dropouts. Web-based interventions have proven to be effective when optimizing face-to-face treatments in different mental health conditions and have the potential to optimize current CUD treatments. However, web-based interventions in addictive behaviors are still limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether adding a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy (i.e., CBT4CBT) to standard CUD treatment, improves treatment outcomes in a Spanish sample of patients with severe CUD (which requires inpatient treatment). Additionally, we aim to explore predictive factors of treatment response and treatment gender-related differences. Methods All individuals coming for inpatient cocaine detoxification who meet the inclusion criteria will have the possibility to be part of the study. The participants of this open-label randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) will be allocated to treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU+CBT4CBT after the hospitalization for cocaine detoxification. During the inpatient treatment they will all receive an individualized psychological intervention. There will be six time point assessments: at 48-72 h of starting inpatient treatment, at the end of inpatient treatment and before starting day care and outpatient treatment, at the end of the 8 weeks CTB4CBT / TAU arm treatment and at three follow-up time points (1-, 3-, and 6-months post-treatment). Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first RCT that explores the efficacy of adding a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy to usual CUD treatment with patients of a clinical sample in Europe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anecdotal evidence suggests a substantial proportion of individuals with cocaine use disorder do not report craving during inpatient detoxification. OBJECTIVE To examine prevalence and clinical correlates of consistent absence of cocaine craving among inpatients during detoxification. We hypothesized that craving absence would be associated with less severity of cocaine use, depression, and anxiety. Alternative explanations were also explored. METHODS Craving absence (i.e., non-cravers) was defined as a daily score of zero across two separate craving visual analogue scales in each of the inpatient days. Participants scoring ≥1 on ≥1 day were considered cravers. Severity of cocaine use disorder as well as in-treatment depression and anxiety were assessed. Alternative contributors included presence of cocaine and other substances in urine at admission, in-treatment prescription of psychotropic medications, treatment motivation, executive function, interoception, and social desirability. RESULTS Eighty-seven participants (78.2% males) met criteria as either non-cravers (n = 29; 33.3%) or cravers (n = 58; 66.7%). Mean length of admission in non-cravers and cravers was, respectively, 10.83 and 13.16 days. Binary logistic regression model showed that non-cravers scored significantly lower than cravers on cocaine use during last month before treatment (OR, 95% CI; 0.902, 0.839-0.970), in-treatment depression (OR, 95% CI; 0.794, 0.659-0.956), and in-treatment prescribing of antipsychotics (OR, 95% CI; 0.109, 0.014-0.823). Model prediction accuracy was 88.9%. CONCLUSIONS One in three patients undergoing inpatient detoxification experienced absence of craving, linked to less pretreatment cocaine use, better mood, and decreased administration of antipsychotics. Findings may inform pretreatment strategies and improve treatment cost-effectiveness.
