Motivational Enhancement Therapy
Motivational enhancing therapy (MET) is a therapeutic intervention that focuses on reducing the level of ambivalence that a client has and assisting him or her to make necessary changes. At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we offer this evidence-based approach to help people through their challenges and learn how to begin the process of healing and rebuilding their lives. If you have issues with substance use or mental health issues, MET will assist you in setting your goals as well as ensuring that you are well prepared to meet those goals.
What is Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)?
Motivational Enhancement Therapy is a counseling approach that increases the motivation for change in the identified client. MET is not like other therapy techniques that aim at changing the client’s behavior, instead, it seeks to enhance and boost motivation internally. MET helps people understand their aspirations, direction, and motivation toward change and opens the door to change significantly.
In its simplest form, MET is a time-limited, formalized intervention informed by motivational interviewing. The therapy is usually conducted for 4-6 sessions in which the therapist works to eliminate the clients’ ambivalence and set goals for change. MET is especially useful for people who are reluctant to change and avoid conventional therapeutic approaches or have doubts about the process of change.
Advantages of using Motivational Enhancement Therapy
The following are the advantages of Motivational Enhancement Therapy for any person who wants to change for the better. These benefits include:
- Enhanced Motivation: MET assists clients in assessing their intrinsic motivation for change; this internal motivation is more powerful than external motivation.
- Improved Commitment: This helps in the process of helping the clients understand their goals and values, of course, to their recovery process.
- Increased Self-Awareness: MET promotes personal development and change because people get to see how their behaviors affect and realize the value of changing for the better.
- Collaborative Approach: The therapy is self-help in nature therefore, the persons in the process of the therapy feel that they are in charge of the whole process.
- Versatility: MET can be used in the treatment of different problems such as substance use disorder, ambivalence toward change, and other mental health disorders.
Who Can Benefit from MET?
Motivational Enhancement Therapy is effective in clients at different stages of change. It is particularly beneficial for:
Those Facing Ambivalence:
It was also presented how MET is useful for those who are not very willing or have some doubts regarding changes in their behavior or lifestyle.
Substance Use Recovery:
It is very useful for people with substance use disorders to understand the advantages of sobriety for themselves.
Mental Health Challenges:

Resistance to Traditional Therapy:
