Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to verify if a Scott-Kaiser neurofeedback protocol can improve inhibitory control, reduce craving, and enhance treatment adherence in individuals with crack cocaine use disorder. The main research question is: does a 30-session, multi-phase neurofeedback intervention lead to better clinical outcomes, resulting in a more significant stabilization of the therapeutic pathway and reduction in relapse and drop-out rates, compared to treatment as usual (TAU) alone? Participants will: * Undergo initial assessment (T0) including psychological questionnaires, a computerized cognitive task, and quantitative EEG (qEEG) recording. * Be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to either receive 30 sessions of a modified Scott-Kaiser neurofeedback intervention (Experimental Group) or receive standard care alone (Control Group). * Complete the neurofeedback training (Experimental Group), which consists of 1 daily sessions of approximately 45 minutes divided into an initial Beta-SMR phase (5-10 sessions) and an advanced Alpha-Theta phase (20 sessions). * Undergo post-treatment assessment at approximately 30-45 days (T1) including psychological questionnaires, the cognitive task and qEEG. * A follow-up assessement 4-weeks after the end of the treatment including the same psychological questionnaires, cognitive task and qEEG (T2).
