Lessons Learned from Implementation of the California Contingency Management Pilot
Presenters: Thomas E. Freese, PhD, and Darren Urada, PhD
More than half of individuals admitted for specialty substance use disorder treatment in California identify stimulants as their primary or secondary drug, yet many people who use stimulants do not seek treatment. Numerous studies have shown that contingency management (CM) is the most effective treatment for stimulant use disorder. California’s innovative Recovery Incentives Program is a groundbreaking initiative that benefits California and serves as a potential blueprint for other states. In this webinar, Drs. Freese and Urada will delve into the program’s achievements and challenges by providing an overview of the Program, and preliminary quantitative and qualitative evaluation findings. Presenters will talk about the connection to technology and the potential for telehealth implementation in the future. Time will be provided for Q&A and discussion with the audience.
