Evidence-Based Addiction Counselling in Perth

Overcoming addiction is a difficult process to go through on your own, which is why seeking professional support is important.

At Ashcliffe Psychology, we provide treatment using The Matrix Program – an evidence-based non-residential treatment for addiction.  The Matrix Program is not an easy program, and as such our psychologists and support staff will work closely alongside you as you progress through the group program.

The Matrix Program has been adapted from the Matrix Model which involves a combination of evidence-based treatments for treating addiction.  The Matrix Program in Perth is open to people experiencing addictions to:

• Alcohol
• Methamphetamine
• ICE
• Cocaine
• Cannabis
• Prescription medication
• Other harmful substances and behaviours

Together, we will help you identify the underlying factors which have contributed to the addictive behaviour, and work through these issues to support you with making different choices for the future.

At Ashcliffe Psychology, we aim to equip you with the tools to manage cravings and common behavioural triggers. The program will help you develop techniques for dealing with stressful situations in the future, and work towards maintaining abstinence.

Our team of Perth psychologists have a history of working with clients as they make changes in their lives and enter recovery from addiction.  Addiction treatment with the Matrix Program requires long term commitment and motivation to change.

The Matrix Program is essentially a 48-week intensive course in which you learn valuable skills that allow you to:

• Regain a sense of control over your life
• Gain a clear understanding of the psychology behind addiction, relapse and recovery
• Manage anxiety or stress in more positive and productive ways
• Develop strong supportive networks for abstaining from substances
• Improve your resilience so drugs and alcohol are no longer the only ways to cope

Our experienced psychologists and support staff are here to go the distance right beside you – we will guide you through the Matrix Program every step of the way. Together, we’ll engage in group-based activities and workshops that centre around early recovery skills, relapse prevention, family and friends education, social support and more.
