About the Presentation: Contingency management (CM) for substance use disorders (SUDs) may be on the verge of making a public health impact. CM is among the most effective psychosocial treatments for SUDs, yet it remains underutilized in clinical care. Recently, several state-level initiatives and healthcare system programs have expanded access to CM, funding mechanisms have increased, and digital methods have proliferated. Several companies now specialize in the provision of digital CM for SUDs. Overall, recent developments highlight CM’s potential for public health impact while identifying areas for further research, including fidelity in digital implementation and equitable access across underserved populations.
