Smartphone-Based Contingency Management for Patients Who Use Methamphetamine: Qualitative Analysis of Patient and Clinician Perspectives

Smartphone-based CM shows promise for addressing methamphetamine use disorder, especially in settings lacking traditional treatment access. However, optimizing implementation requires addressing challenges related to technology, accessibility, and equity. Recommendations include integrating CM with clinical infrastructure, expanding rewardable behaviors beyond abstinence, enhancing user experience, and improving technological access. Future research should explore flexible models that incorporate broader recovery goals and strengthen both technical and human support.
