Free cocaine for addiction study subjects

Clearly, a case can be made for this kind of research if it is highly likely to lead to effective treatments for addiction. What troubles me is that there was no mention of treatment in this article. I would hope that and IRB would require a study of this type to try to engage participants into treatment--really try to engage them into treatment of adequate duration and intensity that addresses all of their barriers to recovery.
