| Research Abstract |
This study is to develop a treatment program (J-MAT program) for methamphetamine users based on the Matrix program developed in the US. The program was designed to address drug craving which is one of the most important risk factors for relapse. A randomized controlled trial, which is the most rigorous method was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the J-MAT. 60 prison inmates with methamphetamine charges participated in the trial. The results indicated that coping skills of the treated prisoners significantly improved. This results suggested the effectiveness of the J-MAT.
