Article Synopsis
- Contingency management (CM) is a proven method for treating substance use disorders but faces challenges in adoption within treatment settings; recent initiatives are promoting its use.
- A state-funded program in Indiana aimed to enhance CM implementation involved workshops, technical assistance, and financial support for treatment agencies, along with ongoing evaluations of effectiveness.
- After the training, staff reported improved knowledge and confidence in CM; within six months, nine agencies started using CM, supporting numerous clients with various levels of engagement and reinforcements.
Objective: The authors examined the initial implementation of the Indiana Adolescent Addiction Access (AAA) program, modeled on the widely disseminated Child Psychiatry Access Program framework. The AAA program developed a statewide consultation helpline to connect health care providers with adolescent addiction specialists.
Methods: The AAA line was staffed by a coordinator, who fielded initial questions, and on-call clinical specialists (social workers, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and psychologists), who were paged to complete telephone consultations and provide care recommendations.

Defining what constitutes the claustrum is imperative for elucidating its functions. Methods based on gene/protein expression or transgenic mice have been used to spatially outline the claustrum but often report incomplete labeling and/or lack of specificity during certain neurodevelopmental timepoints.
