This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 54th Annual Conference addresses the training and implementation supports needed to successfully implement an effective and federally compliant contingency management program.
Recorded: Thursday, April 13, 2023 to Sunday, April 16, 2023 On-Demand Session
Overview
This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 54th Annual Conference addresses the training and implementation supports needed to successfully implement an effective and federally compliant contingency management program.
Contingency management (CM) is the most effective intervention for initiating stimulant drug abstinence. At the same time, CM is seldom used in practice due to implementation barriers and federal limitations on its use of incentives, a key aspect of the intervention. We describe statewide CM training implementation efforts in Montana and Washington State, including a review of lessons learned, and a provider panel, during which clinical staff will discuss their experiences with CM.
The target audience for this intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-based Learning and Improvement
This session addresses the following IOM Competencies:Provide patient-centered care, Work in interdisciplinary teams, Employ evidence-based practice, Apply quality improvement
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
Describe the training and implementation supports needed to successfully implement an effective and federally compliant contingency management program.
List the facilitators and barriers faced when implementing state-level contingency management interventions for stimulant use disorders.
List strategies providers have developed to overcome contingency management implementation challenges and describe how these are relevant to the attendee's practice setting.

Stephen Crystal, PhD
Director
Center for Health Services Research, Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research
Stephen Crystal, PhD, is Board of Governors Professor at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research at Rutgers University, where he serves as Director of the Center for Health Services Research. He is a leading social and behavioral scientist, and his more than 330 papers and more than 100 technical reports, books, and other publications, with over 19,600 citations (h-index=77) have been highly influential in substance use and treatment, mental and behavioral health, and health policy, among other fields. Much of Dr. Crystal’s current work is focused on improving access to and retention in evidence-based substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, including medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), across the healthcare system, particularly for marginalized populations. In this work, he has partnered closely with health systems, advocacy organizations, state agencies, and others to identify and reduce barriers to access, reduce disparities and increase equity in MOUD, increase access to and effectiveness of navigation and care integration programs, and identify and modify outdated bureaucratic barriers that too often hinder evidence-based SUD treatment and recovery success. Throughout his career, in both scholarly and public-sector leadership roles, his work has contributed to the development of more effective public systems and health policies for delivering evidence-based treatment for individuals with behavioral health needs. Dr. Crystal has led many R-01 projects funded by NIDA, NIMH, and AHRQ, as well as the AHRQ-funded Center for Education and Research on Mental Health Therapeutics, which served as a national observatory, center of evidence generation, and stakeholder resource on the safe and effective use of medications in behavioral health. Through this and his many R-01 and R-18 funded studies, he has been a national leader in generating evidence on the comparative effectiveness of strategies for addressing behavioral health challenges in publicly funded populations.
