Enhancing Your Journey: Motivational Interviewing at kathy ireland® Recovery Centers

At kathy ireland® Recovery Centers, we understand the complexities of making and maintaining behavioral changes, especially for those grappling with substance use disorder (SUD). That’s why we offer motivational interviewing (MI) across all our facilities—a patient-centered psychotherapy that marries empathy and compassion with self-reflection to foster intrinsic motivation during the early stages of change.

What is Motivational Interviewing?

Motivational interviewing is a transformative approach that empowers you to explore and resolve ambivalence, guiding you towards positive behavioral changes aligned with your personal recovery goals. Through MI, you will:

  • Express your desires and objectives,
  • Discuss personal motivations for recovery,
  • Explore actionable steps to enhance your life,
  • Articulate personal arguments for change.

This process is supported by a nurturing, judgment-free environment at ki®RC, aimed at boosting your self-confidence and autonomy, preparing you for sustained sobriety and independence.

Finding Motivation and Overcoming Ambivalence

The Power of Personal Motivation

Facing treatment and long-term sobriety can evoke mixed feelings, a phenomenon thoroughly understood by our empathetic therapists. Motivational interviewing at ki®RC is designed to strengthen your motivation, enabling you to overcome fears, uncertainties, or ambivalence related to recovery. With MI, you’re in the driver’s seat, with our therapists facilitating change through collaboration and guided discovery.

Transforming Thoughts and Behaviors Through MI

MI leverages empathy, compassion, and cooperative engagement, encouraging you to arrive at positive conclusions about your recovery journey autonomously. It’s about setting your pace for change, with stages including contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. This empowering approach ensures that you feel in control of your recovery narrative, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards achieving and maintaining positive change.

Setting Personal Recovery Goals

Identifying and setting clear personal goals is crucial in overcoming SUD. At ki®RC, our expert therapists collaborate with you to navigate your treatment journey, helping you establish a robust foundation for recovery. Holistic care is our ethos—caring for your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being—ensuring a comprehensive recovery experience.
