Are you interested in learning more about the use of motivational incentives (contingency management), a powerful, science-based practice, to help clients achieve and maintain their treatment goals? If so, we have just the Webinar for you!

Research has shown that motivational incentives programs using low-cost reinforcement (prizes, vouchers, clinic privileges, etc.), delivered in conjunction with on-site urine screening, promotes higher rates of treatment retention and abstinence from drug use.

All are welcome to participate in a series of Webinars that have been scheduled in conjunction with the fall 2009 CATES training series on prescription drug misuse. The motivational incentives Webinar will occur on February 4, 2010 (10-11am PST) and will repeat on February 10, 2010 (1-2pm PST). You may participate in one of two ways – (1) use your computer to login to listen AND see the presentation, or (2)use your telephone to call in to listen to just the audio portion of the Webinar. Don’t miss this free learning opportunity.
