Bill Miller and the motivational interviewing people would say- and it was a sort of a brilliant contribution of motivational interviewing- was to understand motivation as a dance, motivation as a collaboration and as something that's manufactured between two people as opposed to a trait in one of the people.
What if there was a way to tackle substance abuse without the traditional 12-step approach? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Jeffrey Foote, Ph.D., Co-founder and Clinical Director of The Center for Motivation and Change. This conversation dives into the center's unique, evidence-based methods designed to help individuals struggling with addiction.
Forget what you know about conventional rehab; here, they use techniques like Motivational Interviewing (MI), Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to make a real difference. Dr. Foote sheds light on the importance of shifting communication patterns within families dealing with addiction. He emphasizes how changing the way we talk to and about those with substance abuse disorders can significantly impact their recovery journey.
The episode also explores harm reduction strategies and mindfulness skills that can be life-changing for those in recovery. One of the standout points in this episode is the discussion on dual diagnosis programs. These programs address not just addiction but also any co-occurring mental health issues, providing a more holistic approach to treatment. If you're curious about alternative methods to traditional rehab or looking for ways to support a loved one better, this episode is a must-listen. Dr.
Foote's insights are not just informative; they're a game-changer in the field of addiction treatment.
