    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Psychiatry
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Heroin addiction is a significant public health issue.
    • Effective treatments for heroin addiction are crucial.
    • Narcotic antagonists show promise in managing opioid use disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a research protocol for evaluating narcotic antagonists.
    • To examine heroin-seeking behavior in hard-core heroin addicts.
    • To lay the groundwork for subsequent behavioral, psychiatric, and aftercare studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A research ward protocol was established for evaluating narcotic antagonists.
    • Heroin-seeking behavior was observed under blocked and unblocked conditions.
    • Each patient served as their own control, with preliminary data from 21 subjects.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed methods for the study protocol are described.
    • Preliminary results from the first 21 subjects are presented.
    • This paper serves as an introduction to a series of follow-up papers.

    Conclusions:

    • The described protocol provides a framework for evaluating narcotic antagonists.
    • The study design allows for in-depth analysis of addiction-related behaviors.
    • Further results regarding behavioral, psychiatric, and aftercare outcomes will be reported subsequently.
