Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of suvorexant (SUVO), on sleep, stress, and drug craving during early abstinence from stimulants and to determine the effects of treatment (SUVO vs. treatment as usual (TAU)) on post-treatment (Days 13-30) residential program length of stay (LOS) and completion rate.
