The UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Please join the Greater Southern California Node for this free live virtual training on Friday September 12, 2025, from 10am to 12pm PST: Contingency Management: Implementation of Highly Effective Intervention for the Treatment of Stimulant Use Disorder.  Larissa Mooney, MD, Thomas E. Freese, PhD, and Richard A. Rawson, PhD, from UCLA's Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs, Division of Addiction Psychiatry will be delivering the training. Recent evidence indicates that methamphetamine and cocaine play a substantial and increasing role in the illicit drug crisis in the US—the 4th wave of the overdose crisis. The behavioral treatment known as contingency management (CM) has more than three decades of robust research supporting its efficacy for individuals with stimulant use disorder (StimUD). Despite overwhelming evidence supporting CM, it has not been widely used in routine treatment outside the VA healthcare system. This situation is changing as states are arranging insurance reimbursement for CM and developing CM programming for individuals with StimUD. This presentation, provided by a team from UCLA Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs will begin with a brief overview of how cocaine and methamphetamine use are contributing to the current drug poisoning crisis. Presenters will review CM protocol elements, evidence for CM, current obstacles to widespread implementation of CM, and strategies for addressing barriers. Presenters will also discuss the implementation strategies and preliminary results from the largest implementation of CM in publicly-funded treatment centers to date: The California Recovery Incentives Program. The project demonstrates the feasibility, replicability, and effectiveness of large-scale rollouts of this treatment. Time will be provided for audience Q&A and group discussion. Continuing education credits ((CEs/CMEs/CEHs) are available! For more information about this event, check out the flyer. Register for the session here!
