Article Synopsis
- The study explores cue exposure therapy (CET) and its effects on abstinent heroin users, aiming to reduce their reactivity to drug-related cues.
- 127 participants were divided into two groups: one receiving CET and the other receiving placebo psychotherapy treatment (PPT).
- Although both groups reported similar decreases in craving and mood, the CET group showed higher dropout and relapse rates than the PPT group, suggesting potential risks associated with CET in this context.
