Common Goals featured in LA Times article about California sobriety initiative

Posted on July 7, 2024 by CGIwebitor

Common Goals was recently featured in an LA Times article about an experimental California program that pays drug users to stay sober.

‘“It’s that little something that’s holding me accountable,” said Coburn, a former construction worker who has tried repeatedly to kick his habit. He is motivated to stay clean to fight criminal charges for possession of drugs and firearms, which he vociferously denies.

Coburn received $10 for each clean urine test he provided during his first week in the program. Participants get a little more as they proceed: $11.50 per test in week two, $13 in week three and increasing to $26.50.

They can earn as much as $599 a year. As of mid-May, Coburn had completed 20 weeks and made $521.50.

Participants receive at least six months of additional behavioral health treatment after the urine testing ends.”
