A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach: Treating Cocaine Addiction. Topic 2: Shoring Up Motivation and Commitment to Stop

This section of the NIDA Cognitive-Behavior Therapy manual illustrates how motivational enhancment concepts and techniques may be integrated into skills-based approaches. You will see that the emphasis remains on therapist-directed skill-building, in contrast to the more “pure” motivation-oriented approach described in the Project MATCH MET manuals and the MI books.
