Motivational Interviewing

is a treatment model that focuses on resolving ambivalence and using the person's own values and concerns to elicit change (rather than imposing or "coercing" a person to change behavior).

While it can be used for a number of presenting problems, it is a common treatment approach for individuals engaging in substance abuse
