Through years of experience, our co-founders have learned that substance abuse addiction is an attempt to avoid the unavoidable, the self. The cause of substance abuse addiction can be treated best when treatment focus is on the family and the client. We use a variety of new and proven substance abuse treatment approaches in our curriculum such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, principles of hypnotherapy and Holographic Human Transformation Theory. These allow us to re-program cycles of behaviors that keep an individual trapped in substance abuse patterns. Substance Abuse Treatment works best when the client is taught ways of identifying for themselves their own dysfunctional views of their life that trigger their self limiting beliefs and leads back to addiction. The human brain is an incredible computer and no one was born an addict. MATR Substance Abuse Treatment teaches the client the way to program their own brain and simple techniques for doing this.
