TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
New clients for ABC Health Group L.L.C.’s Matrix Center start with a confidential assessment to determine their eligibility. Each client must make an appointment with the intake department to be considered for the program. All clients must be an adult (18+) and have a history of opioid addiction that has lasted for at least 12 months. The assessment is used to determine how to best treat the client including determining what medications are most appropriate and determining if the client is ready for treatment. Medically-managed detox is not available through the Matrix Center.
Treatment at the Matrix Center consists of medication management and counseling based on the disease model of treatment. The Matrix Center uses Methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, Buprenorphine, and Naltrexone to wean clients off of opioids and to control withdrawal symptoms. This allows clients to focus on making the appropriate behavioral changes through counseling. Based on the needs of most clients, treatment lasts up to 90 days.
The Matrix Center also prioritizes family involvement and education as a means of establishing sober living habits. Clients participate in individual counseling sessions to address their individual addiction experiences. Clients are also encouraged to work with their families to change problem behaviors and develop support networks. Aftercare support can be provided through random drug screenings to promote continued sobriety.
