About CLARE Matrix DBA Matrix Institute

CLARE|MATRIX, doing business as Matrix Institute, is a Santa Monica-based addiction treatment organization with its administrative office at 909 Pico Boulevard.

Clinically, the organization explicitly serves men and women, people with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues, and people affected by the criminal justice system. Its public language frames addiction as part of a broader behavioral health picture, with a full range of treatment methods that integrate the Matrix Model with medication-assisted treatment where indicated.
