Matrix International appreciation for the Matrix Bites courses
Matrix Bites are weekly commentaries walking you cell-by-cell through the matrices on alcohol and drug treatment, using findings from our select list of seminal and key research to pose fundamental questions about addiction treatment, brief interventions and harm reduction. “Astonished” was the reaction of one of the world’s foremost authorities on treatment and recovery. If you work in/with treatment, this is your chance to lift your eyes from the bench and reflect on what it’s all about – and how to do it better.

We send messages weekly to our own and other mailing lists alerting them to that week’s new Bite. Sign up for those messages and catch up on all Bites to date at:
Alcohol Treatment Matrix
Drug Treatment Matrix
Select the cell(s) you are most interested in, then unfold the Bite by clicking the Matrix Bite link after the list of articles.

Matrix The Bites: Astonished; Simply too good; We are loving them!
“I remain astonished at your ability to integrate broad swathes of science in such an intelligent and concise fashion ... thank you for your indefatigable efforts to disseminate scientific findings to a broad audience; this field would have very little impact without translators such as yourself.”
Professor Keith Humphreys, Department of Psychiatry, Stanford University, USA

“The matrices are great, as are your Matrix Bite comments. It is a privilege to receive your pieces; great and useful job. Thank you so much.”
Dr Braillon, Alcohol Treatment Unit, Amiens, France

“Wow – this is terrific stuff.”
Audrey Freshman, Director of Professional Development and Continuing Education, Adelphi University, USA

“Wow!! This is simply too good.”
Abhijit Nadkarni, addictions psychiatrist and Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, based in Sangath, Goa, India

“Especially impressive is your use of older pieces of research which are often forgotten (or not learned!!) by people who have not been around for a long time ... important as I watch old mistakes being repeated.”
Ira Unell, formerly of Leicestershire Community Drug and Alcohol Services, England

“Just wanted to thank you for posting the alcohol Matrix Bites – we are loving them.”
Clare Davies, Residential Rehabilitation Manager, Windana therapeutic community, Melbourne, Australia
