NCT ID NCT05702021

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a special training and support program can help addiction clinics start using contingency management, a proven method that gives rewards to patients who stay off stimulants. Researchers will work with 76 clinics and track how many patients and counselors use the program. The goal is to see if this approach can bridge the gap between research and real-world practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

contingency management (a behavioral intervention that provides incentives for staying drug-free)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show how to effectively implement contingency management in addiction clinics, potentially improving stimulant use treatment on a wider scale.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a test of the treatment itself. It focuses on clinic processes, so direct patient benefits may be limited or take time to appear.
