Toward an Era of Impact: Digital Contingency Management in the Treatment of Substance Use Disorders is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinical documentation, payer communication, supervision records, and leadership review. In Toward an Era of Impact: Digital Contingency Management in the Treatment of Substance Use Disorders, for this course, the practical stakes show up in service continuity, accurate reporting, and defensible clinical decisions, not in abstract discussion alone.

Digital CM entails remote methods to obtain biochemical confirmation of drug status and to provide desirable consequences contingent on abstinence. Advances include technological capabilities and affordability, companies that specialize in digital CM, and policies and reimbursement models. Digital CM has expanded from cigarette smoking to alcohol and illicit substance misuse and it has included underserved and high-risk groups (e.g., pregnant and postpartum women, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals, adolescents, and rural populations). As the digital divide continues to narrow, culturally responsive methods may increase uptake and engagement with digital CM. The promise of digital CM is widescale access to an evidence-based behavioral treatment with low staff burden, no side effects, high fidelity, engagement, acceptability, effectiveness, and greater equity. We may be close to realizing this promise, which could stand as one of the greatest accomplishments of behavior analysis.
