| Contingency Management Consultation - Jun 2007 SMMGP recently conducted a consultation of its membership on contingency management. This approach, which involves the giving of financial rewards to patients in return for treatment compliance, has been recommended in the draft NICE psychosocial guideline and to a lesser extent in the draft NICE detoxification guideline. It has a robust evidence base, from the US and Australia but not as yet from within the UK. In the US it has been proven to be cost effective, but the drug treatment system is very different there. Here it remains a matter of debate within the field. We felt that it would be of value to the field for the views of SMMGP members to be published. |
