research studies

Feeling altruistic? Want to get involved in a study? A study about meth, or maybe there's another drug you're struggling with? Participating in a research study can be a different way to approach your drug issues. In many cases you get paid for your time or receive free study medications and counseling.

Tweaker.org does not endorse or denounce any of these studies. Instead, we're offering information for you to explore.
