Primary methamphetamine use was associated with decreased tonic craving compared to primary opioid use (β = −5.63, p < 0.001) and primary cocaine use was also associate with decreased tonic craving compared to primary opioid use (β = −6.14, p < 0.001). Primary cocaine use was also associated with lower cue-induced cravings compared to primary opioid use (β = −0.53},
