Responsive imagePromoting Awareness of Motivational Incentives (PAMI) is an introductory training that exposes organizations to the principles of Motivational Incentives and demonstrates evidence of clinical effectiveness.

Behavioral healthcare practitioners can then deepen their knowledge about Motivational Incentives through participating in the free, self-guided, interactive on-line course, Motivational Incentives: Positive Reinforcers to Enhance Successful Treatment Outcomes (MI:PRESTO).

Treatment organizations can also access additional implementation support through the Motivational Incentives Implementation Software (MIIS), developed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and available at no cost. This desktop software provides mechanisms for maintaining patient information and Motivational Incentive activities.
