A hypothetical cocaine purchasing task (CocPT) was used to assess changes in cocaine demand in the context of contingency management (CM) treatment for cocaine use disorder (CUD). Participants (N = 89) were treatment-seeking individuals with CUD receiving 4 weeks of abstinence-based, high-magnitude CM. Treatment response (vs. non-response) was operationally defined as the submission of 6 consecutive cocaine-negative urine samples across two weeks. The CPT was assessed at baseline, week 2, and week 5. Demand data were well described by the exponentiated demand model, and baseline demand indices (Q0, Pmax, breakpoint, essential value) were significantly associated with self-report measures of cocaine use. The probability of being a zero-responder reporting zero cocaine consumption at all prices significantly increased over the course of treatment, and was greater among treatment responders vs. non-responders. Among non-zero demand data, decreases in Omax, Pmax, breakpoint, and essential value were observed over the course of CM treatment, favoring responders. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess change in cocaine demand in the context of CM treatment targeting cocaine abstinence. Our results support the utility of cocaine demand as a measure for both identifying individuals with greater treatment need and tracking relapse risk over the course of treatment.
