Behavioral Health Consulting
Contingency management (CM) is the most effective treatment for stimulant use disorder, yet many providers do not currently offer this service. As one of the nation’s leading experts in this field, we developed the statewide training module for Colorado and have successfully implemented CM programs at the state Medicaid agency, Medicaid plan, and provider levels. We provide a full range of comprehensive services to support your contingency management program’s success:
- Consultation: Steadman Group delivers expert consulting to help you implement and elevate clinical programs, drive quality improvement, and successfully integrate new technologies. Our in-house Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) partners directly with your clinical team to design and launch practical, tailored solutions—ensuring a smooth transition from planning to practice. We have helped ten providers and several payers start their CM programs.
- Education and Training: We provide individualized training for your clinicians, staff, prescribers, and administrators, giving you confidence that your CM program is both effective and compliant with regulations. In addition, you get access to our library of resources, including a dynamic webinar series on contingency management, led by national experts and designed to empower behavioral health providers with the knowledge and confidence to deliver this proven intervention.
- Sustainability: The Steadman Group is at the forefront of advancing funding for contingency management programs. We are committed to helping your clinic not only launch but grow and sustain these life-changing services. Our team will partner with you to identify strategic grant opportunities and unlock payer-based funding pathways, positioning your program for long-term success and broader community impact. We have helped organizations apply for dozens of grants for CM and win more than $1M in funding. Together, we can build the financial foundation needed to expand access and deliver lasting results.
- Evaluation: The Steadman Group will conduct a thorough evaluation of your contingency management program, carefully analyzing key performance indicators like treatment retention, appointment attendance, and urine drug screening consistency. Our detailed assessment will highlight program strengths, uncover opportunities for improvement, and provide actionable insights to drive measurable outcomes and maximize your program’s impact. We have developed evaluation plans for state Medicaid agencies, other payers, and individual providers tailored to their program.
