Join the National Center of Excellence for Tobacco-Free Recovery (CoE-TFR) 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.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deep into a promising approach for improving health

outcomes in the behavioral health field!

This webinar will:

• Describe the efficacy of Contingency Management (CM) in behavioral health and

substance use treatment settings.

• Review how CM can be used to address tobacco use among individuals with behavioral

health conditions.

• Review potential funding mechanisms and treatment considerations for implementing

CM to address tobacco use among people with behavioral health conditions in inpatient,

outpatient, and residential settings.
