Stages of Change Prochaska & DiClemente

How you talk to the adolescent matters You are singing off key if you find yourself… • Challenging • Shaming • Warning • Labeling • Finger-wagging • Confronting • Moralizing • Being Sarcastic • Giving unwanted • Playing expert advice

Five Strategies of MET 1. Express Empathy 2. Develop Discrepancy 3. Avoid Argumentation 4. Roll with Resistance 5. Support Self-Efficacy

Facilitating the Risk/Reward Analysis What to focus on: Decisional balance scale Elicit pros and cons of use and change Emphasize client choice and responsibility Elicit self-motivational statements, and summarize them (they are hearing what they just said)

How do you avoid argumentation with a teenager? Resistance should be a CUE to modify your approach Treat ambivalence (mixed feelings) as normal Bring the focus back on their concerns: Elicit the client’s perceptions of the problem and providing feedback

A Closer Look at the Family Issue… Family Support: less family conflict and greater family cohesion corresponded to reduced risk for poor treatment outcomes Although families play a pivotal role, they vary in their ability and willingness to help…

2010 Meta-Analysis Study of studies conducted to identify treatment effectiveness of various EBP treatment approaches that maximize treatment outcomes (JMATE presentation) 48 studies that included 79 treatment approaches for adolescents

Treatment Approaches Family therapy (k = 25, n = 88) Individual counseling Generic GROUP counseling Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Motivational interviewing/enhancement therapy (MET) MET + CBT (MET/CBT) Psychoeducational therapy (PET) Contingency Management Vocational counseling Drug court Pharm. treatment No Treatment

Results Effect sizes were close and not statistically meaningful to make definitive statements about superiority…BUT Family therapy & CBT/MET combo had stronger effects (on abstinence outcomes) than all compared treatment conditions Individual counseling was less effective than all other treatment conditions with which it was compared

Treatment Effectiveness Studies Important to note: studies have NOT established a superior treatment approach They all have equally effective results in terms of producing positive outcomes… Reducing use Improving mental health/wellbeing, and Repairing social relations Happy Ending?

Treatment Outcome Studies Treatment Outcome Studies Although treatment is working… Less than half of adolescents leave treatment with a positive discharge (still using) Relapse continues to be fairly common: ~65% relapse during first three months after tx completion (Brown et al., 1989) and longer-term (12 mos; Dennis et al.,2000) Lack of continuity of care: less than 10% participate in aftercare after formal tx

Been called many things… … Been called many things McKay (2008) Aftercare Extended interventions Continuing care Disease management Stepped-down care

Continuing Care Service Barriers  Limited funding for services in the addiction field  Limited availability of services  Hence, not a standard “clinical” practice  Why pay when we have – 12 step model?  Been referred to as “the perfect aftercare” (White, 2007)

Em pirical Support for CC Evidence suggests clients who get continuing care have better outcomes than clients who do not receive CC services (McKay, 2009).  Evidence mainly established for adults; less clear for adolescents  Very few continuing care studies of adolescents in the scientific literature  Godley et al. 2002 – home visits with youth after residential tx (Assertive Continuing Care)

85 Avoid Warnings! (that’s it) W Warn The 3 Tasks of a BI O Options Explored L Listen & Understand F Feedback

86 How does it all fit together?

87 O Options Explored The 3 Tasks of a BI L Listen & Understand F Feedback

The First Task: Feedback Your job in F is only to deliver the feedback! Let the consumer decide where to go with it. Ask for Permission explicitly There’s something that concerns me. Would it be ok if I shared my concerns with you? Provide direct feedback The results of your screening form suggest that… 88

The First Task: Feedback Handling resistance… • Look, I don’t have a drug problem • I just like to party with my friends • I can quit using anytime I want to • I just like the taste • I’m young, what’s the big deal? What would you say? 89

The First Task: Feedback To avoid this… LET GO!!! 90

The First Task: Feedback Easy Ways to Let Go… • I’m not going to push you to change anything you don’t want to change… • I’m not hear to convince you that you’re partying too much… • I’d just like to give you some information... • I’d really like to hear your thoughts about… • What you do is up to you…. 91

Feedback: Content Areas for Adolescents Alcohol Use Marijuana Use Prescription Medication Use Club drug use Always ask this question: “What role, if any, do you think (substance) played in (problem) ? 92

The First Task: Feedback Let’s practice F: Role Play Giving Feedback ONLY 93

94 O Options Explored The 3 Tasks of a BI L Listen & Understand F Feedback

The Second Task: Listen and Understand Listen for the change talk… Maybe drinking did play a role in what happened If I wasn’t partying, this would never have happened I don’t want to be in this mess again The last thing I want to do is hurt someone else I know I can quit because I’ve stopped before Summarize, so they hear it twice! 95

The Second Task: Listen and Understand Dig for change talk… • I’d like to hear your opinions about… • What are some things that bother you about your use? • What role do you think drugs/alcohol played in ________________? • How would you like your drinking to be 5 years from now? 96

The Second Task: Listen and Understand Tools for Change Talk • Pros and Cons • Importance & Confidence Scales • Readiness Ruler 97

The Second Task: Listen and Understand Strategies for weighing the pros and cons… • “What do you like about drinking?” • “What do you see as the downside of drinking?” • “What Else?” Summarize both pros and cons… “On the one hand you said.., and on the other you said…. 98

The Second Task: Listen and Understand Importance/Confidence/Readiness On a scale of 1–10… • How important is it for you to change your drinking? • How confident are you that you can change your drinking? • How ready are you to change your drinking? For each ask… • Why didn’t you give it a lower number? • What would it take to raise that number? 99 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The Second Task: Listen & Understand Let’s practice L: Role Play Listen & Understand Using Completed Screening Tools • Pros and Cons • Importance/Confidence/Readiness Scales • Develop Discrepancy • Dig for Change • Create movement in Consumer’s Stage of Readiness for Change 100
