About CLARE | MATRIX – Santa Monica
CLARE | MATRIX is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Santa Monica, California. They treat people with substance use disorder (SUD) on an inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) basis. They treat people with dual diagnoses who have a mental health condition and addiction issues simultaneously. They treat justice system clients as well.
Their office on 30th Street is currently closed. However, they do have other centers in Santa Monica that can help you.
Your treatment journey begins with a full assessment. They will ask you questions about your drug and alcohol use. They will also ask you about your medical and psychiatric history.
Inpatient treatment includes a bed and three meals a day. Outpatient clients may come in several times a week or just once depending on needs.
They use the Matrix model to treat both inpatient and outpatient clients. This is an intensive 16 week program of therapy.
Their inpatient treatment programs are gender specific. They also have gender based group therapy for outbound patients. The Matrix model consists mainly of group therapy sessions although there are some individual sessions.
The method was created in the 1980s as an alternative to traditional rehab programs that last up to 28 days. It combines a 12 Step model with a couple of other treatment methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). It also incorporates contingency management which offers rewards for good behaviors such as attending community meetings or sober events.
You will learn about the effects of drugs on your body. The staff will teach you about the process of detoxifying and becoming sober. You will understand your triggers and build a network of peers who will support you in sobriety. If you have been ordered into rehab by the court, the classes they offer will fulfill most court requirements.
While their clinic on 30th Street is closed, they can refer you to other centers in their network that offer their full range of services.
