• Men and Women May Process Cocaine Cues Differently - Some aspects of cocaine addiction and recovery are different for men and women—including the reasons for seeking drug rehabilitation, response to treatment, and vulnerability to relapse. Women are more likely to seek cocaine abuse treatment in response to co-occurring depression, remain abstinent after treatment, and relapse in response to interpersonal problems and negative feelings. Cocaine-addicted women also demonstrate greater craving than men in response to drug cues. In the first brain imaging study of cocaine craving by cocaine-addicted women, NIDA-funded researchers have made observations that, if borne out in larger studies, may point to neurological sources of these differences.
