Contingency Management Made Easy

Contingency Management (CM) is a highly effective, evidence-based intervention that improves treatment outcomes for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). By incentivizing positive behaviors, CM creates a supportive recovery environment that drives engagement and long-term results.

But running a CM program – from protocol setup to rewards distribution to compliance reporting – can be complex, cumbersome, and hard to scale. With Rewards Engine, contingency management doesn’t have to be complex – we automate every component of the program.

Protocol Management

Streamline your processes with intuitive protocol management that ensures consistency and compliance across all program components.

Behavior Documentation

Monitor and reward positive behavior with an escalating rewards system that encourages sustained engagement and improvement.

Rewards Distribution

Various delivery methods for rewards, including reloadable debit cards and digital gift cards, ensure accessibility and enhance patient engagement.

Audit Trail

Maintain transparency and accountability with a comprehensive audit trail, tracking all actions for compliance and review.

Outcomes Reporting

Generate real-time analytics to track participation and measure outcomes for internal and external reporting.

Enhance SUD Recovery for Improved Outcomes

Contingency Management has demonstrated its impact on SUD treatment in several key areas:

  • Increase Engagement in Treatment
  • Promote Care Plan Adherence
  • Enhance Treatment Retention
  • Improve Long-Term Outcomes
  • Support Compatibility with Other Evidence-Based Treatments
  • Enhance Accessibility Across Populations
  • Provide Cost-Effective & Efficient Management
  • Reduce Return to Use
CHESS Health’s digital technology allows for customization of rewards for participants meeting their treatment goals and immediate delivery through a reloadable debit card.

A 2025 SAMHSA Advisory increased incentives for contingency management to $750 per patient per year. The advisory recommends that payments be made using vouchers and gift cards, prohibits cash payments, and emphasizes the use of digital technologies to enhance engagement, outcomes reporting, and maintain clear audit trails
