Summary

In this study, the investigators will implement contingency management at rural recovery houses, where individuals with substance use disorders reside. Contingency management is a behavioral intervention in which participants receive incentives (rewards) when they complete planned tasks that are consistent with their recovery efforts. House staff members will also participate in this study and will be trained to provide contingency management to residents. The investigators will compare recovery houses that implement contingency management to matched houses that do not, and the main outcomes will be engagement in the planned activities and retention in the recovery houses. Participants will receive contingency management for up to 12 weeks and follow-up will occur 6 months post-treatment.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Contingency management	The investigators will implement a prize-based contingency management protocol in which residents will complete three pre-planned recovery-oriented activities each week for a period of up to 12 weeks. Upon verified completion of the activities each week, participants may earn prize incentives through drawing from a prize fishbowl or spinning a virtual prize wheel. Prizes will be money added to a debit card. On the first week and individual has completed pre-planned activities, s/he can receive up to 1 draw per activity completed (3 total), and each week the number of prize draws per activity will escalate by 1. If a participant fails to complete any activities, he/she will not receive the draws for the uncompleted activities, and the prize draws would be reset to 1 in the next week. Participants can earn up to $75 in incentives in total.
BEHAVIORAL	Usual Care	Participants in this arm will receive usual care that they would normally receive at the recovery houses. Recovery residences vary considerably, this form of housing benefits individuals in recovery by reinforcing a substance-free lifestyle and providing direct connections to other peers in recovery, mutual support groups and recovery support services.
