Area of Science:

  • Addiction Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Methamphetamine (MA) abuse is a persistent issue in the western United States, recently escalating to epidemic proportions in certain areas and demographics.
  • Effective treatments for MA dependence are urgently needed.
  • The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) initiated a multisite Methamphetamine Treatment Program (MTP) to address this need.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the Matrix Model treatment program for MA with standard treatments.
  • To examine treatment access and completion issues for diverse special populations affected by MA dependence.
  • To identify and present strategies for overcoming identified barriers.

Main Methods:

  • A multisite study comparing the Matrix Model to treatment as usual.
