What will be an ideal response?
Attempts to shift the focus away from denial and toward motivation to change. An interview establishes the level of drinking or drug use, associated problems, and the client's current stage of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, or maintenance) regarding the substance use. Avoiding confrontation or telling the client what to do, the interviewer discusses the information about amount of use and problems to lead the client toward the next stage of change. This is used partly to prepare the client for entry into some other form of treatment.
