Screening is another important step in the assessment process. This screening allows professionals to gain a deeper understanding of your relationship with substance use, any mental health issues that may be co-occurring, and any other factors that could be contributing to your addiction.
It is also an opportunity for you to talk openly about your experience and voice any concerns you may have with your treatment plan. Screening helps ensure that your trauma-informed care is tailored to meet your individual needs and provides the best chance of achieving long-term recovery success.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a form of counseling that helps people to explore and resolve any ambivalence they have towards their recovery process. MI is unique in its approach as it focuses on helping individuals uncover the motivation they need to make positive changes in their lives. Through motivational interviewing, clients can learn to assess and understand their motivational level, recognize their own values and goals, and find the internal drive to work towards recovery.
MI also helps create an open dialogue with clients to ensure that they feel respected as a partner in their treatment process. Ultimately, motivational interviewing is a powerful tool that can be used to help individuals reach their full potential in recovery.
