GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Matrix Model intensive outpatient treatment was developed with an awareness of
the diversity of factors that contribute to drug and alcohol problems. To produce the
best opportunity for success, the needs of the individual patient are considered in
the design of each treatment plan. At Matrix Institute, the elements chosen to create
optimal treatment for adults and adolescents include strategies and methods that
have been demonstrated to be effective in helping individuals struggling with
addiction.. These elements are listed below and are included within all Matrix
treatment plans.

treatment plans.
- • Therapist Support - Matrix outcome reports have consistently found that the
empathetic and directive support of a professional therapist is critical in
developing a successful program of recovery.
• Group/Individual Participation - Matrix follow-up research has identified
participation in group activities during treatment to be highly related to long-
term success. Also available are the Individualized Intensive Treatment
Program.
• 12-Step or Other Spiritual Group Involvement - Numerous outcome reports
have demonstrated that those patients who are involved in 12-Step and/or
other support group recovery activities have far better outcomes than patients
who are not involved in this recovery program.
• Relapse Prevention and Education - Substance abusers benefit from learning
information about how they have become addicted, how they have been
affected by their addiction, what they need to do to prevent a relapse and what
to do if they should return to drug and/or alcohol use.
• Family Involvement - There is substantial research that clearly indicates
superior treatment outcome for patients whose families are involved in the
treatment process.
• Structure – Outpatient addiction treatment requires an explicit framework
giving patients a clear understanding of the treatment schedule and
requirements.
