Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
The Community Reinforcement + Vouchers Approach (CRA + Vouchers) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Substance Abuse Treatment (Adult). CRA + Vouchers has two main components. The Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) component is an intensive psychosocial therapy emphasizing changes in substance use; vocation; social and recreational practices; and coping skills. The Voucher Approach is a contingency- management intervention where clients earn material incentives for remaining in treatment and sustaining cocaine abstinence verified by urine toxicology testing. Since CRA + Vouchers is highly rated on the Scientific Rating Scale, information on available pre-implementation assessments, implementation tools, and fidelity measures was requested from the program representative. Please see the program's separate Implementation Information page for details.
