Abstract

This study investigated the utilization of virtual scenarios to evoke drug cravings and associated physical responses, revealing that selfreported craving scores did not persist beyond the virtual reality (VR) sessions for the 19 participants. Qualitative findings emphasized the importance of considering contextual factors resembling participants' drug use experiences in managing induced cravings. The study underscores the need for careful scenario design based on the patient's recovery stage to effectively manage the intensity of cravings. These insights contribute to the development of VR scenarios for clinical psychotherapy, offering valuable implications for future research and therapeutic applications.
