Motivational Interviewing Treatment Centers
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach that helps individuals resolve ambivalence about changing their substance use. Rather than directing or persuading, therapists using MI explore the person's own reasons for change and support their autonomy. This respectful, non-judgmental approach has proven effective across various addictions and is often integrated with other treatment modalities.

About Motivational Interviewing
Santa Cruz Drug Rehab connects you with treatment providers skilled in Motivational Interviewing, a compassionate approach that helps individuals find their own reasons for change.
The Spirit of Motivational Interviewing
MI is built on four key elements that create a supportive therapeutic relationship:
- Partnership: Therapist and client collaborate as equals rather than expert/patient
- Acceptance: Unconditional positive regard, empathy, and respect for autonomy
- Compassion: Prioritizing the client's welfare and best interests
- Evocation: Drawing out the client's own motivations rather than imposing external reasons
Core MI Techniques
Therapists use specific strategies summarized as OARS:
- Open Questions: Encourage exploration rather than yes/no answers
- Affirmations: Recognize client strengths and efforts
- Reflections: Mirror back what the client is saying to deepen understanding
- Summaries: Pull together key points and highlight movement toward change
Resolving Ambivalence
Most people considering recovery feel ambivalent—they want to change but also have reasons for continuing substance use. MI helps explore this ambivalence without judgment, allowing individuals to verbalize their own arguments for change, which is more powerful than being told what to do.
MI in Treatment Settings
MI is often used at the beginning of treatment to build motivation and can be integrated with other approaches like CBT. It's effective across all levels of care, from outpatient to residential treatment. Find MI-trained therapists in our directory.
