Study Summary

Background: \- Treatment outcomes for substance abuse are improved by regular attendance at counseling sessions, and attending at counseling sessions can be futher improved by prize-based incentives. However, a system of prize-based incentives can be difficult to administer without computerization for accurate recordkeeping and rapid calculation of earnings. NIDA researchers have developed the eXtensible Platform for Motivational Incentives (XPMI), a computer program that for reinforcement of weekly counseling attendance. Users are eligible to win prizes through automated draws. The researchers are interested in testing the effectiveness and ease of use of the XPMI software so it can ultimately be run by staff in community treatment programs. Objectives: * To test the XPMI program in a clinic setting, with emphasis on its functionality, usability, and acceptability for counselors. * To test and validate XPMI s accuracy in calculating incentives to reinforce drug abstinence. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who are participating in clinical trials for treatment of heroin dependence in an outpatient treatment-research program, and have at least 14 weeks remaining in the program. Design: * Participants will meet with their counselors as regularly scheduled. Twelve of the visits will count toward this study, with 2 extra weeks in case of counselor absence or clinic closure. * Participants will receive an incentive in the form of a prize draw for arriving to counseling appointments on time, on the scheduled day. (Participants may reschedule one appointment per week without losing the chance for a prize draw.) For each consecutive appointment attended on time, participants will receive extra prize draws; attending three counseling appointments in a row can earn four bonus prize draws. * To draw for prizes, participants will push a button on a computer. Each prize draw could result in a small prize worth $1 to $2, a large prize worth $20, a jumbo
