Main description:

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. Based on the award-winning Matrix Model, this program has been specifically adapted to meet the unique needs of law-involved clients and includes a focus on criminal thinking, re-entry, and adjustment issues. The program covers individual/conjoint therapy, early recovery skills, relapse prevention, family education, social support, medication-assisted treatment, adjustment or re-entry challenges, and urinalysis, with participation in a Twelve Step program encouraged throughout. The manualized format allows participants across your facility to use the same materials--giving you a standardized tool for measuring outcomes.

Although the program can be completed in a 16-week time frame, The Matrix Model for Criminal Justice Settings can be completed within a 16-week timeframe as well as extended up to 12 months, if necessary.

The Matrix Model for Criminal Justice Settings includes:

a therapist's manual with a complete research bibliography on CD-ROM
reproducible worksheets and handouts on an additional CD-ROM
three lecture videos
medallions to commemorate successful program completion
calendar stickers to help clients track their sobriety
