THE MATRIX MODEL PROGRAM
The Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program [IOP] is a comprehensive evidence based eight week treatment program with more than twenty years of research and development by the Matrix Institute on Addictions, an affiliate of the University of California at Los Angeles [UCLA] Integrated Substance Abuse Programs. The Matrix IOP program is a structured treatment experience designed to give substance abusers the knowledge, structure and support to allow them to achieve abstinence from drugs and alcohol, and initiate a long-term program of recovery. The Matrix IOP program integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, and motivational interviewing which gives individuals seeking recovery the skills and knowledge they need to overcome addiction.
