Developed over 40 years ago in the field of SUD treatment, Motivational Interviewing (MI) is now well recognized as an EBP for increasing both engagement and retention in treatment. Given that Opioid Intervention Courts (OICs) have emerged with a pre-plea model that involves a non-adversarial approach that seeks to avoid leveraging sanctions while attempting to promote rapid treatment engagement, techniques for enhancing intrinsic motivation among clients are critical to success.

This 7-hour course will teach court staff how to best apply MI techniques in the context of a brief intervention and in the course of routine communication with OIC clients.
