Real‐World Implementation of Contingency Management and Benefits of a Controlled Environment “Head Start”
Pragmatic clinical implementation of CM yielded results that are comparable to controlled trials in similar populations. QI processes identified that a controlled environment resulted in significant ongoing abstinence.CM was implemented in a small community clinic with no additional funding, and QI principles were used to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The initial implementation of 17 participants yielded a mean of 2.2 (SD = 3.2) weeks of CA. Recent discharge from a controlled environment resulted in 8.3 (3.1) weeks CA.
