Contingency management is one of the only evidence-based behavioral interventions shown to be effective in treating stimulant use disorder (StimUD). Contingency management provides monetary incentives (such as gift cards) for meeting treatment goals, including stimulant non-use as measured by negative urine drug tests (UDTs), rewarding individuals for changing their behaviors. Substance use offers a powerful, immediate reinforcement. Contingency management confronts this challenge by offering immediate financial awards that can help activate the brain’s reward system, thus encouraging the replacement of stimulants with the incentive to achieve a dopamine release. This lecture series will start off with an overview of the scope of the stimulant use problem and the acute and chronic impact of use. The lecture will review the disparities in impact on BIPOC communities and strategies to address these. The lecture will then provide an overview of contingency management for treating individuals with a stimulant use disorder (StimUD) and will provide information on the Recovery Incentives Program: California’s Contingency Management Benefit – a statewide pilot program for treating individuals with a StimUD.
The panel portion of the lecture series event will feature Los Angeles providers participating in the Recovery Incentives program. The panel discussion will focus on implementing contingency management and lessons learned while initiating the pilot program.
Objectives: At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Describe at least three (3) patterns and trends regarding the scope of stimulant use in California and beyond.
2. Identify at least three (3) acute and three (3) chronic effects of psychostimulant drugs on the brain.
3. Explain at least two (2) strategies to address the disparities in the impact of StimUD on BIPOC communities.
4. Name at least three (3) forms of empirical evidence to support CM as an intervention for treating stimulant use disorder.
5. Distinguish the four (4) essential elements of an evidence-based, protocol-driven Recovery Incentives Program to address stimulant use.
