About Us
“The training made me realize that I was using outdated information. I now have the ability to update my programming and achieve better outcomes. Grateful for the training."
Vernice, Alaska
Matrix Recovery Program™ has been updated and adapted to include multiple treatment modalities. Matrix has been refined to incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, motivational interviewing, 12-Step education, medication-assisted treatment education, family and support education, and other key elements. This comprehensive approach effectively addresses substance use disorders and acknowledges the potential for additional treatment needs.
Clare|Matrix Training Institute offers training on our renowned Matrix Recovery Program™ and additional evidence-based educational programs, delivered by internationally recognized trainers with a unique blend of clinical skills and experience.
This treatment program provides adults in a variety of correctional settings including jails, community corrections, probation programs, drug courts, and prisons with the structure of an evidence-based treatment experience and combines education on both substance use and criminal thinking and behaviors. This program has been specifically adapted to meet the unique needs of justice-involved clients and includes a focus on criminal thinking, re-entry, and adjustment issues. The program covers individual/conjoint therapy, early recovery skills, recovery planning (formerly relapse prevention,) family education, social support, medication-assisted treatment, adjustment or re-entry challenges, and urinalysis, with participation in Self-Help programs encouraged throughout.
The manualized format allows participants across your facility to use the same materials--giving you a standardized tool for measuring outcomes.​
Matrix Recovery Program™ training equips providers to implement the program in an integrated manner, addressing not only substance use but also mental health, trauma, and wellness needs. At Clare|Matrix Training Institute, our goal is to support individuals in achieving a recovery process tailored to their needs and help programs enhance their treatment outcomes.
