WEconnect Featured in JAMA Network Study
A 2024 peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Network Open found that participants using the WEconnect app alongside medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) experienced 30% fewer days of opioid use and remained in treatment nearly 23% longer than those on MOUD alone. This real-world evidence highlights how app-based contingency management, delivered through WEconnect, can significantly enhance recovery outcomes, especially among underserved and uninsured populations.

What is Contingency Management?
Contingency Management (CM), is a type of behavioral therapy in which individuals are ‘reinforced’, or rewarded, for evidence of positive behavioral change. Based on the longstanding psychological principle that rewarded behaviors are more likely to stick long-term, the CM approach has been successfully leveraged to reduce substance use.
