Motivation for Change in Substance Abuse Treatment Goals and Objectives This 6-hour course utilizes information presented in TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Abuse Treatment. It is an introductory course focusing on the stages of change and motivational interviewing. It embraces a fundamentally different way to conceptualize motivation. In this approach, motivation is viewed as a dynamic and changeable state rather than a static trait. This course shows how clinicians can influence this change process by developing a therapeutic relationship, one that respects and builds on the client's autonomy and, at the same time, makes the treatment counselor a participant in the change process. The course also describes different motivational interventions that can be used at all stages of change, from pre-contemplation and preparation to action and maintenance. Goals / Objectives By participating in this internet based course, the trainee will: Be able to describe and utilize the stages of change model Understand how the concepts of motivation and change have evolved in recent years. Utilize intervention techniques that can enhance the clients' motivation. Link motivational intervention techniques with the stages−of−change model. Recognize motivational interviewing as a therapeutic style and how it can be used to interact with substance−using clients to help them resolve issues related to their ambivalence.

Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) are best practice guidelines for the treatment of substance abuse, provided as a service of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT).
