Contingency Management Overview Training

Sponsored by: UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (UCLA ISAP) and the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)

Course Description

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 course is a two‐hour self‐paced online training designed to provide a broad overview of contingency management for treating individuals with a stimulant use disorder (StimUD). The course includes a brief Introduction and seven (7) Modules. You can complete one Module at a time as your schedule permits. Completion of this course is required for individuals who are serving as a CM Coordinator, Back-Up CM Coordinator, or CM Supervisor within their agency.
