El Modelo Matrix (MM) está recomendado por el Instituto Nacional de Drogas y Abuso de EEUU (NIDA) como uno de los tratamientos efectivos para la adicción a cocaína, sin embargo, todavía no hay estudios en la sanidad pública española. El objetivo fue medir la efectividad del tratamiento basado en el Modelo Matrix adaptado a la sanidad pública murciana sobre la calidad de vida percibida, deseo de consumo, consumo real y autoinformado, retención y criterios de dependencia. Se trata de un estudio prospectivo pre experimental pre-post sin grupo control, llevado a cabo en el Centro de Atención a Drogodependencias (CAD) de Murcia, entre Octubre de 2011 y Mayo de 2012 con 9 pacientes consumidores de cocaína. Todos los cuestionarios mejoraron la puntuación, siendo estadísticamente significativos los cambios en criterios de dependencia y nivel de calidad de vida percibido. La retención fue muy alta y el consumo descendió, se concluye que aumenta la retención para los sujetos estudiados respecto de otros estudios, mejora el nivel de calidad percibida, se mantiene la abstinencia y disminuye el craving; así, el tratamiento mejora la gravedad del consumo y la retención en este estudio.

The objective was to measure effectiveness of a psychosocial treatment based on Matrix Model, adapted to the murcian public health system on: quality of life, craving, reported and actual use, retention and dependence criteria. Prospective pre-experimental pre-post study with no control group was used, not linked to drug, conducted October, 2011 to May, 2012 at the Center of Attention to Drug Dependency (CAD) in Murcia, among 9 cocaine users. All questionaires improved their score, changes in dependence criteria and perceibed quality of life reached statistical significancy. Retention was high, with only one participant lost and general cocaine use decreased or ceased. Retention and quality of life have been improved, abstinence mantained and craving decreased; thus, this treatment reduces addiction severity.
