Contingency Management for Hoarding Disorder

Participants in the current study will receive contingencies for improvement in clutter, as measured by a trained, independent in-home rater. Ratings will be completed by after study consent, and once every month thereafter, being conducted at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 of treatment. Participants will be reimbursed for each new 1-point reduction in CIR score, a set dollar amount per month for each CIR point reduction they maintain from baseline. Therefore, a perfectly performing patient would earn reimbursement (A CIR reduction of 8 points made in the first month and maintained throughout treatment. If a CIR score is higher than the prior month, the reinforcement schedule will reset to zero.
