SAMHSA's flagship guideline for using motivational interviewing and the stages of change model in addiction treatment. It walks counselors through building rapport, handling ambivalence, drawing out change talk, and matching interventions to a client's readiness, from precontemplation through relapse.
The 2019 update folds in twenty years of MI research since the original edition, which is why it remains the standard free MI reference in substance use programs.
