 There is no FDA-approved medication for methamphetamine use disorder or any other stimulant use disorder. However, there are effective behavioral treatments. The best-studied form of behavioral treatment for methamphetamine use disorder, and the one most associated with treatment success, is contingency management. Contingency management offers people small, tangible incentives such as prizes, cash, vouchers, or gift cards (SOAR Survey) to help keep people from using methamphetamine and to continue treatment. Other evidence-based behavioral treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, group support, and motivational interviewing.

Research to prevent, treat, and reduce the harms associated with methamphetamine use and use disorder, including studies that:

• Evaluate new medications to help people reduce or discontinue their methamphetamine use, including medications that help reduce the risk of relapse after a period of abstinence.
• Test the safety and efficacy of existing medications to reduce methamphetamine use among people with methamphetamine use disorder alone or with opioid use disorder.
• Evaluate medications to reverse methamphetamine-only overdose.
• Evaluate existing and new behavioral treatments for methamphetamine use disorder.
