Summary

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of extended-release naltrexone plus bupropion as a combination pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorder. Participants will be randomly assigned to the active medication combination (AMC) group or matching placebo group and will receive medications over the course of 12 weeks. Follow-ups will occur in weeks 13 and 16.
