Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-focused therapeutic method aimed at enhancing an individual’s motivation and preparedness for change. It entails a cooperative dialogue between the therapist and the individual, during which the therapist assists the individual in identifying their goals and reasons for desiring behavioral change. MI is frequently employed in outpatient programs for those dealing with substance use disorders, helping them navigate ambivalence and resistance to treatment. At Gem State Recovery, our therapists utilize MI techniques to establish rapport and support individuals in discovering their own motivation for recovery.

What is Motivational Interviewing?

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a therapeutic technique that helps individuals identify the motivation and desire to make positive life changes. This client-centered method guides individuals to uncover their own internal motivation for change rather than having it imposed upon them.

In an outpatient setting, MI typically involves individual therapy sessions where a therapist collaborates with the individual to explore their goals, values, and motivations for change. The therapist assists in identifying potential barriers and developing strategies to overcome them. At Gem State Recovery, we integrate MI with other evidence-based therapies to support individuals in overcoming addiction and achieving their recovery goals.

How Does Motivational Interviewing Help?

Motivational interviewing (MI) can help individuals make positive changes in their lives by addressing their ambivalence and resistance towards change. By providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, MI helps individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their motivations for change.

Through this process, they can develop the confidence and motivation to make meaningful changes in their lives. MI also focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the individual, which can increase trust and collaboration in the recovery process. At Gem State Recovery, we utilize MI as part of our comprehensive care approach to help individuals overcome addiction and achieve long-term recovery.
