Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Empower Positive Change with Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, goal-oriented counseling method designed to strengthen personal motivation and commitment to change. At More Life Treatment Center, we incorporate MI into both outpatient and inpatient levels of care to help individuals overcome ambivalence and take control of their recovery journey.

Understanding Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) helps individuals resolve inner conflict about change by fostering autonomy, self-awareness, and confidence. This non-confrontational approach is especially effective for those struggling with readiness to change or dealing with co-occurring challenges.

MI is commonly used for individuals facing:

  • Substance use and behavioral addictions

  • Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Trauma-related challenges

  • Chronic relapse or low treatment engagement

Core techniques of MI include:

  • Open-ended questions to explore values and goals

  • Reflective listening to build empathy and understanding

  • Affirmations to strengthen confidence and motivation

  • Collaborative goal-setting to enhance ownership of recovery
