Author: The National Center of Excellence for Tobacco-Free Recovery

Join the National Center of Excellence for Tobacco Free Recovery in exploring how Contingency Management (CM) can be effectively applied in behavioral health settings to address tobacco use. By offering immediate rewards like vouchers or other incentives for meeting treatment goals, CM has proven to be highly effective in promoting long-term behavior change, especially for individuals with mental health and substance use conditions. Dr. Higgins and Dr. Erath will share how CM has been successfully integrated into treatment programs and how states and organizations might implement this approach to address tobacco use.
