Fully remote CM can be feasibly delivered within health care settings lacking existing CM programs. Although remote delivery may help reduce barriers to treatment access, many patients who use methamphetamine may struggle to engage with initial onboarding. High rates of co-occurring psychiatric conditions in the patient population may also contribute to uptake and engagement challenges. Future efforts could leverage greater human-to-human connection, more streamlined onboarding procedures, larger incentives, longer durations, and the incentivization of non-abstinence-based recovery goals to increase uptake and engagement with fully remote mobile health-based CM.
