About this research study:
Join a research study that can potentially help reduce craving and anxiety in people addicted to opioids. The goal of the study is for researchers to understand the neurobiological effects of a cannabidiol (CBD) product.
Over 10 million people in the USA use opioids today. The misuse of opioids has impacted all sociodemographic groups in our nation. Regular treatments are limited and subject to very restrictive regulations. Additionally, they do not effectively treat opioid cravings that might result in high rates of relapse.
Our study will investigate the neurobiological effects of a cannabidiol (CBD) product. This product has the potential to treat opioid use disorder in the future.
