Clyde Davis, a former addict who battled methamphetamine and heroin addiction for over nine years, found hope and success through a new contingency management program at the Rimrock Foundation in Montana. This innovative program utilizes positive reinforcement as a behavioral treatment for stimulant addiction, offering rewards such as small-value gift cards or vouchers for submitting clean urine drug tests.
Despite decades of research demonstrating the effectiveness of contingency management in treating stimulant addiction, its widespread implementation has been hindered by policy barriers and stigma. However, for individuals like Davis, the program has been life-changing.
