Abstract
The concurrent abuse of cocaine and alcohol is a common phenomenon, and is increasingly recognized as a difficult clinical issue. Several effective pharmacotherapies for substance dependence disorders have been identified, though the search for an effective pharmacotherapy for cocaine dependence has proved difficult. However, it has been suggested that disulfiram may offer a promising treatment option.Keywords
