The Matrix Model for Teens and Young Adults provides a proven, evidence-based, flexible Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for alcohol and drug treatment that works for people between the ages of 13 to 25. It uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) to teach patients to analyze events and change thoughts, behaviors, and lifestyle related to alcohol and other drug use.

The program includes four core clinical areas that are essential when working with a youth population: individual family therapy, early recovery, relapse prevention, and family education. The value of participation in Twelve Step and other peer fellowships is reinforced throughout, and it also emphasizes the importance of social support, urine analysis, and breath testing as essential components with instructions included. And although the program can be completed in 16 weeks, it can also be extended up to 12 months to support continuing care and aftercare.

This best-selling program has been updated and expanded:

• easily adapt to multiple levels of care that supports both outpatient and residential settings
• include medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) sessions for young adult clients aged 18 and older
• include the 16-session Young Adult Early Recovery Skills Group that meets ASAM criteria for clients 18 years and older
• provide new information on today's commonly used addictive substances, including opioids, cannabis, tobacco and vaping, and other drugs
• meet DSM-5 classifications
• include the updated 12-week Matrix Model Family Program with new video recommendations to deepen the learning
