Enhancing Early-Phase Care for Primary Care Patients With Unhealthy Substance Use

The clinical trial portion of this study tests the hypothesis that contingency management-based incentives for primary care patients with substance use disorders to attend treatment services will increase treatment initiation and engagement. The investigators are investigating whether this approach that has been found effective in specialty treatment settings will work in the primary care context, in conjunction with screening.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Positive self-report alcohol or drug use screen in primary care
• Diagnosis of substance use disorder

Exclusion Criteria:
