How Parents and Family Members Can Use Contingency Management to Support Recovery
In this episode of the CBT Coaching Podcast, host Barry Gregory introduces one of the most effective and research-backed tools in addiction science: Contingency Management (CM). Listeners will learn how CM uses simple, immediate rewards to reinforce positive recovery behaviors—and why it consistently outperforms willpower alone.
Barry breaks down what CM is, why it works, and how parents and family members use it to strengthen motivation, rebuild trust, and support long-term recovery. You’ll hear practical examples of how to set up a CM system at home or in aftercare settings, how to choose meaningful reinforcers, how to reinforce progress (not perfection), and how to remove reinforcement from unhealthy behaviors without shame or confrontation.
This episode offers a step-by-step guide to building a recovery-focused environment that makes healthy behavior immediately rewarding and sustainable. Whether you’re a parent, counselor, coach, or community provider, you’ll walk away with tools you can use today.
Recovery grows where reinforcement flows. This episode shows you how to make that
