Craving in Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid Use Disorder: multidimensional Assessment Before and After Detoxification and Its Association with Relapse
This study showed that patients with GUD experience high levels of craving, which decrease after detoxification. Furthermore, as for other addictions, craving levels seems relevant for the risk of relapse, though explained variance was limited. Future studies should further explore craving and other potential contributors to the high relapse rates observed in GUD.
