Choice uses this approach through its Albuquerque and Las Cruces outpatient offices.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative counseling approach that may help a person voice their own reasons for change. It is not a lecture, confrontation, diagnosis, or promise of readiness. A talk might explore what substance use seems to provide, what it costs, and how change could affect work, family, health, or personal goals.
