"Sometimes we need one more chance than we deserve." --Barney Dye

Our Goal:
Our aim is to treat all people with the care, compassion and respect befitting their dignity as
human beings.

		We specialize in working with people
		dealing with  the effects of  Substance Abuse and other life problems which detract from experiencing life as they truly desire it to be .
		Cognitive Dissonance occurs when
		there is lack of congruency within us. It is evident when we experience emotions such as anger, anxiety and depression. As Human Beings, we naturally seek homeostasis. This naturally leads to Confirmation Bias and Self Justification. As we act with Confirmation Bias and Self Justification, we unwittingly continue our incongruency which leads to greater cognitive dissonance and therefore greater dis-satisfaction in our lives. MATR works to help individuals recognize their dissonance and thereafter, make the necessary changes in order to experience greater health.
		We teach laws such as the Law of
		Attraction as shown in the movie The Secret. We teach concepts such as those found in the movie, What the Bleep.
		We are committed to offering you the
		highest quality of service
		MATR was incorporated in 1993 by Linda
		Dimmick and Janey Marvin
		When a client remains at our treatment
		facility for 90 days or more the success rate increases to 93%!
		Change is individual. The healing comes
		from the inside. The only person who controls that change is YOU. Therefore, the length of stay and the healing and change which occurs is determined by YOU!

MATR is an acronym for

• Measures of
  
• Affect
  
• Theoretically
  
• Relative
  

Affect is another term for body language. As professionals we measure your
affect as a means of assessing what needs you have.  "Theoretically Relative"
means that we cannot adequately assess your affect until we become familiar
with  you. The name MATR is a simple way of stating our recognition that each
person is an individual and is not to be treated as a diagnosis.

What We Do:

MATR provides in-patient services for those struggling with substance abuse. We offer a
comprehensive program tailored to each client's individual needs. MATR seeks to provide a  
positive and uplifting atmosphere with a curriculum which focuses on assisting our clients to
understand themselves and to learn methods of healing, growing and self mastery.  MATR has a
sister company, LandJ Media, which offers workshops and trainings using the materials which are
taught to MATR's clients.

MATR determines the proposed length of stay through a process of assessments while
also becoming acquainted with the individual. The final determination depends on the
client's actual progress toward the assessed needs and goals.  Rarely are individuals able
to change, heal and gain adequate self mastery while also developing a strong enough support
system to be able to complete treatment in 30 days. Many clients remain for 90 days with some
requiring 120-180 days. Some clients also opt to remain at MATR on a Sober Living status once
Intensive services have been completed, allowing for the development of  even greater self
mastery and a stronger and more complex support system.
