Research Article: Evoked craving in high-dose benzodiazepine users

Date Published: 2025-04-11

Abstract:
Introduction: Benzodiazepines (BDZs) are among the most abused substances worldwide, and high-dose BDZ abuse is considered a specific type of addiction. Cue reactivity (CR) is a hypersensitivity to motivational stimuli and, in substance use disorders, it increases craving and facilitates relapse, especially in chronic users. Virtual reality (VR) may be a viable technology to implement in CR paradigms. The general objective of this study is the implementation of a VR protocol to identify the causal relationship between the environmental features of a specific setting and craving responses in BDZ abusers.
