Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation in which low level electrical currents are applied to the scalp in order to alter brain function. In the present study, tDCS will be administered with the goal of assessing the tolerability and feasibility of this approach to 1) reduce an individual's level of drug craving and 2) provide evidence to support the use of this device by the patient for future unsupervised stimulation in a non-clinical setting. Research Questions: * Can tDCS be used successfully to train cocaine addicted individuals for self-administration purposes? * Can active tDCS be used to decrease drug craving in individuals with cocaine use disorders? * Does active tDCS outperform sham tDCS in reducing drug craving?
