All studies immediately reinforced attendance. + = high study quality (defined as studies meeting three or more indicators of low bias per the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool); - = low study quality (defined as studies meeting two or fewer indicators of low bias per the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool); ABS + ATT = CM protocol reinforced abstinence and attendance simultaneously; ATT = CM protocol reinforced attendance alone; CBT = cognitive-behavioral therapy; CM = contingency management; IOP = intensive outpatient treatment; M = marijuana; MET = motivational enhancement therapy; N/A = cannot be determined; O = opioids; P = polysubstance use; S = stimulants; TSF = twelve step facilitation;
