Implementing contingency management into rural recovery housing: recommendations of a professional advisory expert panel.

Rural areas in the United States have been severely impacted by recent rises in substance use related mortality and psychosocial consequences. There is a dearth of treatment resources to address substance use disorder (SUD).
