The Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment for People With Stimulant Use Disorders (IOP) package provides a structured approach for treating adults who abuse or are dependent on stimulant drugs. The approach followed in the treatment package was developed by the Matrix Institute in Los Angeles, California, and was adapted for this treatment package by the Knowledge Application Program of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The Matrix IOP model grew from a need for structured, evidence-based treatment for clients who abuse or are dependent on stimulant drugs, particularly methamphetamine and cocaine. This comprehensive package provides substance abuse treatment professionals with an intensive outpatient treatment model for these clients and their families: 16 weeks of structured programming and 36 weeks of continuing care.
This treatment model incorporates elements of relapse prevention, cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducation, and family approaches, as well as 12-Step program support (Obert et al. 2000).
