Emotion regulation strategies in individuals with cocaine use disorder maintained on methadone.

ABSTRACT: Cognitive reappraisal (CR) and emotional suppression (ES), two emotion regulation strategies, are disrupted in other substance use disorders but have not been studied in cocaine dependence.Methadone-maintained individuals with cocaine dependence (N?=?72) completed assessment of CR, ES, cocaine use, and psychiatric symptoms.CR scores were associated with lower depression scores (r?=?-.29, p?=?.01), but not with cocaine abstinence during 8 weeks of treatment (r?=?.12, p?=?.29).CR appeared relevant to cocaine-dependent individuals' depression, but was not associated with abstinence or treatment outcome.
