Summary
The Matrix Model provides an integrated treatment experience for drug and alcohol users
through a cognitive/behavioral approach, imbued with a motivational interviewing style, and
supplemented with contingency management. The program as outlined here is typical and ideal.
It has also been delivered within the context of medication-assisted treatment, with criminal
justice patients (including a drug court), and as a track of residential treatment. In addition, as a
result of the vagaries of funding (particularly managed care), or other requirements (our drug
court is an 18-month program) treatment durations have not always been the 16-weeks described
here. Our experience is that some variation on the ideal does not sacrifice effectiveness as long
as there is adherence to the cognitive/behavioral elements of the Model.
In the future, we plan to augment this treatment approach with additional evidence-based
interventions in order to sustain and increase effectiveness, and to expand the focus of treatment.
For example, we hope to more successfully extend patient care beyond the initial intensive phase
