Interventions

• Contingency management — BEHAVIORAL
  If the urine sample is methamphetamine negative, participant will be positively reinforced and offered incentives. Participants immediately draw the reinforcement slip of paper to receive a prize from a selection kept on-site. Approximately 50% of the slips offer written praises (i.e. "great job!"). The other 50% of slips are the divided between low value (i.e. food gift cards, bus passes), medium value (i.e. prepaid cellphone, clothing gift cards), and a few large value rewards (i.e. electronic tablet, jewelry). Should the sample be positive for methamphetamine, no reinforcement and/or incentive to be provided. Participant will be encouraged to continue to participate in CM program and follow-up on the next CM date.

Study Details

This clinical trial is to implement contingency management (CM) as an intervention tool to address methamphetamine use and will be initiated during inpatient acute hospitalization in trauma injured patients. The goals are: * Gather effectiveness data on a CM program for participants in Hawaii who use methamphetamine during hospitalization and following discharge due to trauma injury * To assess participant perspectives on engaging with a CM program based at a Level 1 Trauma Center. Researches will assess both patient-reported and biologically-confirmed medium-term program effectiveness and conduct qualitative interviews with participants post-program. * To assess the rate of leaving against medical advice (AMA) and treatment completion in acute hospital setting in participants. * To assess the optimal timing of CM initiation for traumatically injured hospitalized patients by comparing patient outcomes (i.e. duration of CM participation and rates of CM program completion and providing negative urine samples) to NCT06532370 where CM was initiated after discharge from the hospital. For total of 12 weeks, participants will: * Be visited on Mondays/Thursdays or Tuesdays/Fridays by the research team to complete urine analysis during the hospitalization * Visit a follow up clinic up to 2 times per week on Mondays/Thursdays or Tuesdays/Fridays to complete urinalysis following discharge from the hospital * Complete Treatment Effectiveness Assessments at 6 and 12 weeks * Engage in qualitative interview at the end of the CM program

Arms

• Experimental: Contingency management intervention
  Intervention is total of 12 weeks. During the hospitalization, participants will be visited by study personnel and will be asked to complete a urine drug screen that will screen for presence of methamphetamine on Mondays/Thursdays or Tuesdays/Fridays (M/Th or T/F). Once discharged, participants will be asked to come into the out patient clinic 2 times per week (M/Th or T/F) to complete a urine drug screen that will screen for presence of methamphetamine. If the specimen is negative for methamphetamine, the participants will be rewarded. Participants will also be asked to complete the Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) with study personnel.

Primary Outcome Measure

Treatment Effectiveness Assessments (TEA) at 6- and 12-weeks post-enrollment [ Time Frame: From enrollment to 6 and 12 weeks ]
