The Matrix model was originally developed in response to the cocaine epidemic of the 1980s. The program consists of relapse prevention groups, education groups, social support groups, individual counseling, and urine and breath testing delivered in a structured manner over a 16-week period. The treatment is a directive, nonconfrontational approach which focuses on current issues and behavior change. Several evaluations of the model have supported its usefulness and efficacy with methamphetamine (MA) users. Methamphetamine users appear to respond to treatment similarly to cocaine users and many continue to show improvements at follow-up.
矩阵模型最初是为应对20世纪80年代的可卡因流行而开发的。该项目包括预防复发小组、教育小组、社会支持小组、个体咨询，以及在16周内以结构化方式进行的尿液和呼气检测。该治疗采用指导性、非对抗性方法，侧重于当前问题和行为改变。对该模型的多项评估支持了其对甲基苯丙胺（MA）使用者的有效性。甲基苯丙胺使用者对治疗的反应似乎与可卡因使用者相似，许多人在随访中持续显示出改善。
