Towards Real-World Implementation of Digital Contingency Management for Substance Use Disorders belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Towards Real-World Implementation of Digital Contingency Management for Substance Use Disorders, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Digital CM alleviates some of these barriers. This talk will provide an overview of digital CM for SUD, highlighting real-world barriers to widespread availability, and innovative research aimed at overcoming these barriers through partnerships with clinics, states, and payers. More specifically, this talk will describe ongoing digital CM work in Michigan, including a study that will develop an implementation blueprint for digital CM in treating co-occurring alcohol and opioid use disorders (AUD-OUD) using three key data sources: 1) Michigan Medicaid claims data, 2) input from a Medicaid advisory board, and 3) results from randomized controlled trials on digital CM. This presentation will discuss how these diverse data sources contribute to developing a sustainable implementation strategy for digital CM. The goal of this work and the next step for the field is to integrate digital CM into existing healthcare frameworks and payment models, broadening access to evidence-based treatments, and ultimately improving recovery outcomes for individuals with SUD in partnership with traditional treatment settings.
