At Fountain Hills Recovery, we understand the challenges of overcoming addiction. Our accredited center is in a peaceful place that helps with healing. If you’re exploring motivational interviewing for addiction, you’re taking a significant step toward reclaiming your life. We’re here to support and guide you through each step of your journey to recovery.
Successfully eradicating a long-established habit of substance abuse is not an easy task. Overcoming addiction requires a strong support system, professional help, and above all, the desire to change.
Unfortunately, most people who suffer from addiction also lack the necessary willpower and have a negative outlook on life. This negative mindset is the result of years of neglect, harmful thoughts, and dysfunctional behaviors. If you’re suffering from addiction, feeling motivated to achieve any progress and change for the better is key. Creating motivation is, once again, not an easy task, but is something our therapists are experts in doing.
Sparking The Change
When it comes to building motivation, our therapists employ a number of techniques including Motivational Interviewing. This form of psychotherapy utilizes a counseling approach which aims to empower you and give you the motive to change destructive behaviors. This type of psychotherapy has shown excellent results when incorporated into a broader treatment plan. In these one-on-one sessions, the therapist works closely with you on strengthening the will and motivation to spark a change.
Why Should You Try Motivational Interviewing?
The therapist’s ultimate goal is to break through your resistance to adopt a different mindset and reject destructive behavior. However, before the therapist can show why change is important, he/she needs to express empathy and build a relationship based on trust. Once progress is made, the therapist can move on to inspire change in a non-threatening manner. He/she will also introduce a series of questions that will help you realize why adopting a different attitude is key to moving forward in the recovery process. Once that link is created, there is room for motivation and self-confidence to grow.
Building self-confidence is crucial in preparing you to handle the challenges that lie ahead, on your own. Only then is the Motivational Interviewing Treatment complete and the chance for relapse is minimized.
Motivational Interviewing can benefit treatment of substance abuse by:
- Giving feedback and improving the overall treatment program
- Providing empathy in a delicate period
- Inspiring change in a non-threatening manner
- Helping you realize why change is necessary
