You'll also hear from experts about the implementation strategies and preliminary results from the largest implementation of CM in a publicly-funded treatment center to date: the California Recovery Incentives Program.

The CTN Greater Intermountain Node (GIN) is housed within the Program of Addiction Research, Clinical Care, Knowledge, and Advocacy (PARCKA) at the University of Utah.

As part of its outreach and advocacy efforts, PARCKA produces a weekly podcast: LET'S TALK ABOUT DRUGS IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST.

The podcast, celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, features conversations exploring topics about addiction and spotlights the efforts being made to address substance use disorders across the Greater Intermountain West.

One of their recent episodes includes highlights from the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new site of the University of Utah's Substance Use & Pregnancy - Recovery, Addiction, and Dependence clinic (which has a super rad acronym: SUPeRAD!).
