Inclusion Criteria:

1. Males and females treatment-seeking cocaine and/or opioid users between 18 and 55 years of age
2. Understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent
3. Must be in residential treatment for substance use disorder
4. Meet current DSM-5 criteria for Cocaine Use Disorder with moderate or severe severity, and current DSM-IV diagnosis of Cocaine Dependence or Abuse, and/or current DSM-5 criteria for Opioid Use Disorder with moderate or severe severity, and/or current DSM-IV diagnosis of Opioid Dpendence or Abuse.
5. Have been abstinent from cocaine and/or opioid use for at least 1 week
6. Have vital signs as follows: resting pulse between 55 and 95 bpm, blood pressures between 90-139 mm Hg systolic and 50-89 mm Hg diastolic
7. Have hematology and chemistry laboratory tests that are within normal limits, except that liver function tests must be less than twice the upper limit of normal and judged by the study physician to be clinically insignificant.
8. Have a normal baseline ECG as shown by normal sinus rhythm with the exception of sinus arrhythmia or mild sinus bradycardia (heart rate 50-59 beats per minute), and with normal conduction (including normal QTcF) with the exception of early repolarization judged to be clinically insignificant by both the study physician and the study cardiologist.
9. For adults who ar 20 years old or older, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) that is 18.5 or greater according to the CDC Calculator for Adults.. For adolescents who are 18 or 19 years old, BMI that is fifth percentile or greater according to the CDC Calculator for Children and Teens.
10. Have no contraindications for study participation as determined by history and physical examination
11. Be able to demonstrate an understanding of study procedures and follow instructions including behavioral laboratory and fMRI testing
12. No pregnant or nursing women will be permitted in the study, and women must either be unable to conceive (i.e., surgically sterilized, sterile, or postmenopausal) or be using a reliable form of contraception (e.g., abstinence, birth control pills, intrauterine device with spermicide, or condoms). Men will be advised to use condoms. All females must provide negative pregnancy urine tests before study entry, at each visit during the study, and at the end of study participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Have concurrent DSM-IV diagnosis of any psychoactive substance use dependence other than cocaine, nicotine, marijuana, or opioid dependence.
2. Have a DSM-5 axis I psychiatric disorder, other than substance use disorder, including by not limited to Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, ADHD, or Schizophrenia, or a neurological disorder requiring ongoing treatment and/or making study participation unsafe.
3. Subjects with evidence or history of any clinically significant medical disorder including cardiovascular, pulmonary, CNS, hepatic, or renal, except that controlled hypertension, controlled hypothyroidism, and cancer in remission will not be excluded.
4. Subjects who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus, since weight loss may increase the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin secretagogues (eg., sulfonylureas), and lorcaserin has not been studied in combination with insulin.
5. Subjects with an abnormal QTcF on ECG
6. Have a history of seizures (excluding childhood febrile seizures), or loss of consciousness for more than 20 minutes
7. Have significant current suicidal or homicidal ideation or a suicide attempt within the past 6 months
8. Be HIV positive by self-report or history
9. Be pregnant or nursing or not using a reliable form of contraception if able to conceive. All females must provide negative pregnancy urine tests before study entry, at each visit during the study, and at the end of study participation
10. Have an other illness or condition, which in the opinion of the PI would preclude safe and/or successful completion of the study.
11. Be using any medications or drugs that can affect the central nervous system other than cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine.
12. Be using any medication (including over-the-counter medication or food suplements) that may interact adversely with lorcaserin, including other serotonergic drugs, including SNRIs and SSRIs, triptans, drugs that impair metabolism of serotonin (including MAOIs), dietary supplements such as St. John's wort and tryptophan, tramadol, or antipsychotics or other dopamine antagonists.. See Lorcaserin Drug Interactions table (attached) for detailed list of these medications.
13. Prior to starting study medication, and prior to each MRI scanning session, have positive breath alcohol level, or have a positive urine drug screen for any drug of abuse other than marijuana.
14. Have metal fragments or other bodily metal (e.g., pacemaker), or significant claustrophobia that would put the subjects at risk for MRI scanning.
15. Subjects who are allergic to lorcaserin
16. Subjects who have taken any investigational drug within 90 days prior to baseline.
17. Subjects who are taking opioids for medical reasons (e.g., cancer, injuries, etc.).
