MATRIX Model Training
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services together with the Center for Urban Population Health will launch an opioid and stimulant use training series for Wisconsin substance use treatment providers and clinicians. This series will start with Clare Matrix Institute’s Matrix model curriculum: Implementation planning and maintaining the model to fidelity; How to adapt Matrix for opioids, stimulants, and other concurrent substance use disorders.
CLARE|MATRIX has worldwide recognition for its evidence-based outpatient treatment program, the Matrix Model®. The Matrix Model is a structured, multi-component behavioral treatment model that consists of evidence-based practices, including relapse prevention, family therapy, group therapy, psycho-education, and self-help, delivered in a sequential and clinically coordinated manner. The model consists of 16 weeks of group sessions held three times per week, which combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, family education, social support, individual counseling, and urine drug testing.
The MATRIX Model has been refined over the past 30 years to integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, motivational interviewing, 12 Steps facilitation, family involvement, and other elements to successfully treat individuals struggling with substance use.
The Matrix Model is acknowledged by the National Institute on Drug Abuse as an effective and scientifically-based approach. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration lists the model on its National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. The Matrix Model also was listed as a recommended evidence-based treatment model in Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs and Health, a 2016 report released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Surgeon General.

Peer recovery description
Since its beginnings the Matrix Model has always incorporated the use of Peers in programming. Specifically, the use of Peers as co-leaders in the Matrix group process. This training will provide the basics of the Matrix Model and how peers can use their own recovery successes to help others. The Matrix Model wants to further that support with individuals who have completed the Matrix Program and share their lived experience with others in Matrix. A person with lived experience can pull from those successes while sharing their own recovery journey. Matrix Peers/Co-Leaders also can provide additional support as a new individual moves through the Matrix program.
Goals:
· Assist program participants in the development of skills, confidence, and relationships as they begin their recovery journey.
· Learn skills to Co-Facilitate Matrix groups in an open and welcoming environment.
· Provide direct peer support based on their own lived experiences.
Objectives:
· Learn how to engage new individuals in the Matrix Program
· Display skills of when and how to share recovery stories
· Identify ways to help peers efforts for health, wellbeing and recovery
· Learn Matrix core components and how to assist peers with new skills and strategies learned in Matrix programming.
