The Science is clear:

DynamiCare Works.


DynamiCare has collaborated with leading academic institutions to conduct clinical studies on DynamiCare, which have demonstrated a 2-3x increase in quit rates across drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.

DynamiCare builds on the existing research behind Contingency Management (CM), or motivational incentives, which promotes accountability and motivation through the use of positive reinforcement. It has been recommended by the NIHU.S. Surgeon GeneralAmerican Society of Addiction Medicine, and validated in over 100 randomized controlled trials. This methodology, and DynamiCare’s approach, has been covered in the New York Times.

"With our in-person program, most people didn’t complete it, and if they did, the only measure of success we had was whether they set a quit date. We had no idea how many people actually quit. With DynamiCare, we were not only able to boost the quit rate tremendously but also get solid data on quit rates to measure the effectiveness of the program" Jeanie Foley RN, Project Manager.
