CLARE Matrix

Blending Peer Support with Evidence-Based Therapies

The Matrix Model utilizes structured counseling, relapse-prevention strategies, and peer support to work through addiction and toward recovery. This model is used alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-related counseling, offering tools for both substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Meeting People Where They Are In Their Recovery Journey

Separate residential programs for men and women create environments that reflect each person’s needs and experiences. Residential stays range from 30 to 90 days, where weekly progress assessments guide care based on individual goals and clinical needs.

Continuity Through Levels of Care

Detox includes 24/7 withdrawal management and stabilization before transitioning into residential or outpatient care. Outpatient clients continue therapy and support services while balancing work, school, or family responsibilities. Clients also receive support in building stable lives after treatment through housing assistance, vocational training, life skills groups, and more.

Client Reviews

Some reviews describe the program as life-changing with caring staff, while others share frustrations about staff conduct, rule enforcement, and day-to-day conditions.

• Staff & Care Experience (65% positive): Clients often praise counselors and medical staff as compassionate and dedicated, noting that loved ones felt well cared for. Other recent reviews describe staff acting unprofessionally. "They are great. Wonderful and caring people who really care."
• Treatment Quality & Outcomes (70% positive): Many alumni report the program helped them achieve sobriety, with some saying it kept them clean for over a year. Others, however, found group sessions to be repetitive and one-on-one case management less valuable than they’d hoped. "I’ve been sober for over a year now and I’m grateful and thankful for the level care I received."
• Facility & Environment (45% positive): Several note a safe and professional setting, while others note crowded dorms and rushed meals. "They are taking wonderful care of my brother and happy with their service."
• Access & Process (40% positive): Some describe smooth admissions and structured step-downs through detox, residential, and outpatient levels of care. Some recent reviews cite pre-graduation discharges, disputed accountability measures, and inconsistent sober living placement.
• Support & Community: Alumni appreciate the ongoing community, with some returning to speak on panels and support current clients. These connections are mentioned as a meaningful part of recovery. "I take a CA panel into the center every 3rd Saturday of the month."
