Contingency management for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorders.

Objective: Theory and some preliminary evidence suggest that contingency management may be an effective treatment strategy or adjunct to psychosocial treatment for methamphetamine use disorders. An experimentally rigorous investigation on the topic was provided by a large multisite trial conducted under the auspices of the Clinical Trials Network of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Method: The authors report data on 113 participants who were diagnosed with methamphetamine abuse or dependence.
