Motivational Incentives for Enhanced Drug Abuse Recovery: Drug Free Clinics

The purpose of this study is to test the utilization of incentive values (considerably lower
than those typically used in research clinics) to motivate clients to attend treatment and
initiate and sustain abstinence.

The purpose of the proposed research is to implement and systematically evaluate, in
community treatment settings, motivational incentive procedures that have been well
researched and have proven efficacious in a variety of treatment research clinics.
