Patients receive guidance and support from a qualified therapist, gain knowledge about self-help programs, and gain insight into aspects crucial to addiction and relapse.
The Matrix Model is a scientifically proven and client-monitored method of recovery. The program lasts 16 weeks and includes changes in all spheres of the client’s life. However, frequent users may struggle with addiction on the physical level, the majority of cases of addictions have a mental base. “ Alcohol and substances are just plugs for anxiety, phobias, and loneliness.
