MATRIX Model Training

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services together with the Center for Urban Population Health launched an opioid and stimulant use training series for Wisconsin substance use treatment providers and clinicians.  This series showcases 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.

Over the past 30 years, the Matrix Model 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.

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.
