Main description:

Research has proven that when young people have family invovlvement during their recovery from addiction, their treatment outcomes are significantly improved. But it can be a real challenge when the teen or young adult has likely caused problems at home, and family members are confused, angry and feeling helpless.

Ideal for a variety of settings such as treatment, juvenile justice and mental health, The Matrix Model Family Program includes 12 sessions, delivered one session per week. It is easy to implement as a stand-alone program or as an enhancement to an existing program. Proven effective, this comprehensive program helps family members take an active role in every stage of recovery, which improves outcomes for young patients.

Includes a therapist's manual, CD-ROM with reproducible worksheets and handouts, and DVD with three lecture videos.
