PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 57 days

Population: Only 4 of 13 finished the 2-week residential stay. Since subjects who drop out are deemed relapsed, all subjects receiving \>/=1 dose of study med were included in the analyses. Those who dropped out before completing the residential stay were considered relapsed by the second day and the date of discharge was subtracted from this relapse date.

The number of days until a participant has a relapse, which will be measured by qualitative urine drug screens. To ensure a large enough sample, those who drop out prior to completing the residential stay will be included in this analysis (with minus days until relapse)
