CM group calls on SAMHSA to rescind $75 cap

This month, the Contingency Management Policy Group (CMPG) headed by H. Westley Clark, M.D., issued a statement calling on the federal government to rescind the $75 limit on what can be paid per year to patients being treated for substance use disorder. Contingency management is the only effective treatment for stimulant use disorders, involving payment for negative drug tests, but it doesn't work unless the dollar figure is much higher.
