Today’s topic in group was FUN - - Fun isn’t a “luxury” in recovery; it’s a therapeutic tool. It helps recondition the brain’s reward system, lowers stress, strengthens social connection, builds a new sense of identity, and enhances motivation. Recovery that includes joy and play is more sustainable than one based solely on discipline and abstinence.

Recovery is a struggle that can feel long and arduous. It’s because you’re going through your own metamorphosis to become a much better version of who you were before.
Too many quit during the part that transforms them. Not because they’re weak, lazy or motivated, but because they don’t recognize where they are in the process. Trust the process. Trust the growth. Trust your ability to adapt. Trust that there’s more to come. Keep going.

The Matrix Intensive Outpatient Addictions Treatment Program is run by Ashcliffe Psychology, a private psychology practice in West Perth and Applecross.
Ashcliffe Psychology provides a confidential service for people seeking psychological assistance for addiction. The Matrix Program is new to Perth WA. This approach is an evidence-based, intensive outpatient addiction, treatment program.
After being used overseas for more than 20 years, and with a significant amount of research supporting the effectiveness of the Matrix Program in treating addiction, it is now available here in Perth.
The program is highly effective in treating the more difficult to manage addiction, such as Methamphetamine and Co***ne. The Matrix has also been successful in the treatment of alcohol and other drug addictions, including presciption medications. Further evidence has shown the program can be effective when the treatment principles are applied to behavioural addictions, such as gambling.
The Matrix has been successfully used in the Queensland Drug Courts and is now underway at 7 centres in South Australia.
This approach varies from others because it provides intensive treatment and support similar to residential facilities, but allows the person to remain engaged in their work and family roles while in treatment. The involvement of family and a support network is an essential part of the Matrix Program.
