Motivational Interviewing

Individuals with substance use disorders may have the desire to stop drinking or using drugs but may not be ready to change. This week’s show is about motivational interviewing, an evidence-based strategy in behavioral health treatment that helps patients to resolve their ambivalence, and, in turn, motivate them to change. To discuss with Dr. Tonmoy Sharma this strategy and how it’s used in addiction treatment are featured guests Jennifer Hettema, Ph.D., and Ken Resnicow, Ph.D. Listen to this podcasts episode at www.inyourrightmind.com
