The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announces the availability of four new products for the treatment of stimulant use disorders, the Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment for People with Stimulant Use Disorders package. The products are based on the treatment interventions tested in SAMHSA's Methamphetamine Treatment Project and provide information on implementing nearly a full year of treatment with the Matrix approach. The products integrate treatment elements from several approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, family education, and mutual-help (12-Step) program involvement. The products in the Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment package are-
