The Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) with contingency management (CM) is a widely researched and demonstrably efficacious drug abuse treatment. This treatment is derived from drug self-administration research and a behavioral analysis of drug dependence, where abused drugs are thought to compete successfully with the more delayed pro-social reinforcers because of their relatively more immediate reinforcing effects. The CRA treatment with CM approach takes this theoretical view into account by (1) providing immediate positive reinforcement for abstinence via the voucher reinforcement procedure, and (2) having therapists teach skills and encourage behaviors that help improve employment status, family/social relations and increase recreational activities via the CRA treatment. The incentives for abstinence with the enhancement of non-drug sources of reinforcement are then expected to successfully compete with the reinforcement from drug use. Adoption of CRA with CM may be facilitated if it could be delivered so that it is both less costly and requires less staff time to implement. In our previous trial, we demonstrated that among buprenorphine maintained opioid-dependent persons, computer-delivered CRA with CM (i.e., voucher incentives) was as effective as and less costly than therapist-delivered CRA with CM (i.e., voucher incentives). However, the design of that study did not indicate whether the computer-delivered CRA produced increases in abstinence over that produced by the CM (i.e., voucher incentives) procedures alone. Thus, we believe the contribution of the computerized treatment to therapeutic outcomes should be isolated.
