06/17/2026

Contingency management (CM) is an evidence-based intervention that can help people quit or cut back on stimulants, including methamphetamine and cocaine.

This one-page handout was created by the ADAI Center for Community-Engaged Drug Education, Epidemiology & Research (CEDEER) to help educate patients or clients about this treatment option.

The handout includes information on:

  • How CM works
  • How CM can help you quit or cut back on drugs
  • What CM can look like in practice
  • Quotes from real CM participants
