Motivational Interviewing for Addiction
Many people who struggle with substance use disorders are reluctant to seek help. Even after enrolling in rehab, participants often have mixed feelings. Additionally, a lack of confidence in recovery can make treatment more challenging for those who experience addiction symptoms. Fortunately, motivational interviewing therapy may assist people in these situations. These addiction therapy programs help clients gain clarity and engage more thoroughly in their recovery.
If you’re ready to discover your inner motivation for change, call 866.939.4243 today to speak with the Promont Wellness team about our outpatient programs.
What is motivational interviewing therapy?
Mixed feelings about addiction treatment are common. On the one hand, people might believe they can benefit from seeking care. On the other, they may feel hesitant about getting treatment. Change is difficult for anyone but is often incredibly challenging for those recovering from a substance use disorder. A person with conflicted feelings about treatment might not fully commit to their recovery, reducing the chances of getting and staying sober.
Motivational interviewing therapy, or MI therapy programs, at Promont Wellness can help resolve this dilemma. Our therapists understand that helping people doesn’t involve forcing them to change. Instead, it involves empowerment and acceptance. By helping participants embrace their own ability to change, we’re able to guide them to lasting recovery.
While our motivational interviewing program is tailored to the needs of each client, our therapists are committed to:
- Showing genuine empathy
- Supporting participants’ belief in their ability to change
- Not responding negatively if a person is resistant to treatment
Therapists in these programs help those who experience addiction symptoms see for themselves how their resistance might conflict with their recovery. As a result, people who experience addiction symptoms may become more receptive to treatment, increasing the odds of successful recovery.

What clients say about us...
“I’d like to thank Courtney from the bottom of my heart. She helped me through the scary process of getting into treatment and then treated me with respect and compassion. The treatment process was scary, vulnerable and uncomfortable, but she did everything she could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I have become an active member of the recovery community and could not have done it without the guidance and expertise Courtney provided throughout treatment.”
"
