If you are enrolled in Medicaid or the Healthy Michigan Plan and have a qualifying stimulant or opioid use disorder, you may be eligible for the Michigan Recovery Incentives Program in Jackson. Participants can earn up to $599 for negative drug tests while building a stronger path toward recovery.

Participants agree that accountability has been one of the most valuable parts of the program. According to Destanie Pruden-Walling, a program participant, “The recovery incentive program has really helped me stay motivated and accountable in my recovery. Knowing I can earn money for clean drug screens not only supports me financially but also makes me feel proud of the progress I’m making. It’s a positive reminder that the hard work I’m putting in is paying off and keeps me focused on moving forward.”

Destanie added, “What do you have to lose? No matter what, you earn money. Why not give it a shot?”
