TRAINING ON MATRIX INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM

Drug addiction and drug-related crime are two problems the Philippines has
been facing for a long time. The government under the Duterte administration
continues to wage an ongoing struggle against drug abuse and drug trafficking.
Reported usage of “shabu”, the street name of methamphetamine, continues to grow
as the nation’s most widely trafficked narcotic, and shabu addiction remains the most
significant drug problem in the Philippines among others.
Therefore, there is a need to fully recover these men, women and child
surrenderers who are victims involved in the trade and use of illegal drugs through
comprehensive intervention. In correspondence to the National Government’s call
pertaining to the dilemma on drug addiction, several appropriate programs and
interventions have been designed to provision these People with Substance Use
Rationale Disorder (PSUD)

that is structured evidence-based treatment for clients who abuse or are dependent
on stimulant drugs especially methamphetamine among others. This comprehensive
package provides substance abuse treatment professionals with an intensive
outpatient treatment model for these clients and their families.
Hence, appropriate training for professionals who will be conducting the
program is critical for the successful delivering of the program to recover these
Persons with Substance Use Disorder together with the families from the
