Although opioid use dominates substance use prevention and treatment efforts, stimulant use is also a major driver of the overdose crisis across the United States. Approximately 60% of overdose deaths involve stimulants such as methamphetamine and cocaine, and drug overdose deaths involving stimulants without opioids continue to rise. Contingency management, also known as recovery incentives, is one of the few evidence-based interventions proven effective for stimulant use disorder. This evidence-based behavioral therapy offers individuals tangible rewards, such as gift cards, vouchers, or prizes, for meeting treatment goals.
Join the National Overdose Prevention Network on Thursday, November 12, from 9:30–11:00 a.m. PT to hear from a panel of leading experts on current stimulant trends, the role of contingency management, current policy and research, and best practices for implementation.
This Web Forum is sponsored by the National Overdose Prevention Network, and produced by Dialogue4Health, both programs of PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact.
