Rimrock Foundation, Montana’s oldest nonprofit addiction treatment center, was featured in a CNN news article about the implementation of contingency management. Contingency management uses positive reinforcement as a behavioral treatment for stimulant addiction. People are rewarded with small-value gift cards or vouchers for submitting urine drug tests negative for stimulants. Decades of research show that it is the most effective treatment for stimulant addiction, but it has not been widely implemented due to policy barriers and stigma.
