Rewarding Recovery

The most evidence-backed treatment for stimulant addiction is also the most disarming: rewards — gift cards, prizes, cash — for clean tests, paid promptly, doubted constantly, and it works.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts come from inside the programs: the meth and cocaine recoveries that finally held when abstinence paid, the strange dignity of being rewarded rather than punished, escalating incentives and the reset after a slip, the clinic staff who celebrated each negative screen like a graduation. Writers include the relapse after the program ended and what that taught, skeptical family members converted by results, and counselors explaining why the brain that addiction hijacked answers to reward.

Who it's for

For anyone offered contingency management, families puzzled by paying for sobriety, and readers curious why the counterintuitive treatment keeps winning trials.
