title: A system for uniform application of contingencies for illicit drug use.
abstract: Previous research supports the concept of providing structural limit setting as a contingency for illicit drug use identified by urinalysis in methadone maintenance treatment. A system for applying the principles learned from research to a clinical setting is described. A retrospective review of clinic records indicates this system can be uniformly implemented across counselors and treatment teams. The potential critical elements in the system and setting are discussed.
