The Methamphetamine Treatment Program (MTP) compared the Matrix model to usual care for methamphetamine dependence. This large trial evaluated treatment effectiveness, cost, and implementation in community settings.

Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Methamphetamine dependence is a significant public health issue requiring effective treatment.
  • Existing community treatments for methamphetamine dependence vary in effectiveness.
  • The Matrix model offers a structured, manualized approach to intensive outpatient treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate the Matrix model for methamphetamine dependence.
  • To compare the Matrix model's effectiveness against community "treatments as usual."
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and implementation of research-based treatments in community settings.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized, controlled, multisite trial involving 150 patients per site.
  • Comparison of the Matrix model with "treatment as usual" for methamphetamine dependence.

  • Longitudinal evaluation of drug use, HIV risk behaviors, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • The study is designed to yield data on the comparative effectiveness and cost of two treatment approaches.
    • Findings will inform the broader implementation of evidence-based methamphetamine treatment.
    • The project assesses the feasibility of transferring research-based interventions to community-based organizations.

    Conclusions:

    • This multisite trial provides a robust evaluation of the Matrix model for methamphetamine dependence.
    • The study will offer valuable insights into the practical application and outcomes of intensive outpatient treatment.
    • Results will guide future efforts in disseminating effective addiction treatments within community healthcare systems.
