PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Single-Item Craving Scores are collected at all Retrieval Extinction Sessions (medication days), as well as all Phase Two Test Sessions (weeks 1,3 and 6).

The participant is asked, "What is the level of craving you are experiencing on a scale or 0 to 100, with 0 representing no craving and 100 extreme craving"?
