Promoting Awareness of Motivational Incentives (PAMI)

Motivation Incentives or Contingency Management strategies have become an increasingly important part of the continuum of care in the treatment of substance abuse problems. Promoting Awareness of Motivational Incentives (PAMI) is based on the positive research outcomes and lessons learned from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Clinical Trials Network (CTN) study, titled Motivational Incentives for Enhanced Drug Abuse Recovery (MIEDAR) along with feedback from the Fishbowl Method. This training discusses the positive impact motivational incentives have on retention, attendance in group sessions, submission of clean drug screens and prolonged periods of abstinence. (3 CEUs)
